Ray Bradbury's From The Dust Returned may become a movie
While Paramount continues to figure out a way to wrest a movie out of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, MGM is developing a feature film based on another of the author's sprawling, loosely connected anthologies. Deadline reports that producers Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan have acquired From The Dust Returned, the 2002 book spawned from Bradbury's 1946 short story "Homecoming," about a human child living with a family of vampires, werewolves, mummies, and assorted ghouls—a trendy premise that's been echoed in everything from Dark Shadows to NBC's reboot of The Munsters to Neil Gaiman's recently optioned The Graveyard Book, as well as the unconscious dreams of a society longing to be free of the banality of modern humanity, and maybe have sex with a monster or something.
