You probably already know that Neil Gaiman's excellent YA novella-as-a-book Coraline won the Hugo Award. You might even know that it's being made into a stop-motion animated movie by director Henry (The Nightmare Before Christmas) Selick.

If you're really plugged in, you'll have heard that Dakota Fanning will play Coraline. But have you heard that Teri Hatcher has joined up to play the dual role of Mother and...Other Mother? (Read the book -- you'll get it then.)

Also: Neil Gaiman posted a quite neat piece of early concept art for the movie on his blog yesterday.

I don't mind saying that this is one movie I'm really looking forward to.
