"The Doubtful Guest" movie

This isn't scifi, but it does pertain to something awesome, so I thought I'd mention it. Edward Gorey's story "The Doubtful Guest," is being made into a movie, with the involvement of the Jim Henson Co. It's not due out 'til 2010, but here's hoping it's something to look forward to. For those unfamiliar with the work, "The Doubtful Guest" is about a creature who comes, unannounced & unwelcome, to a family home...and does not elect to depart. It's a short story with not a whole lot to it, so I'm a little concerned with how it's going to be made into a feature length movie. I think this will also be Gorey's first work put to film, so let's hope it's not screwed up too much.
