New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman is teaming with Graphic India for the English-language animated movie, Cinnamon.




Based on a short story written by Gaiman, the screenplay is being adapted by the Coraline author and leading Indian animation writer and creator, Sharad Devarajan (The Legend of Hanuman; Baahubali: The Lost Legends) with Sarena Khan and Sujatha SV. Indian animator Jeevan J. Kang is set to direct.

Neil is super stoked at this collaboration, as he had this to say on his website:

“I am thrilled to be collaborating with Sharad Devarajan and his team Graphic India on ‘Cinnamon.’ Sharad’s passion for storytelling and his understanding of Indian culture and mythology makes him the perfect partner to bring this tale to life. Together, we are crafting a film that will transport audiences to a world of magic, wonder, and eternal truths, a story that celebrates the power of compassion and the resilience of the human spirit. I cannot wait to share this journey with the world.”

At this time, there is no release date.

Not gonna lie, I have a soft spot for Neil and thrilled about this!
