Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Where the Wild Things Are) has landed the film rights to Shane Jones' debut novel Light Boxes says Variety.
Light Boxes, published earlier this year, centers on a mysterious town that endures a deadly 1,000-day winter after being attacked by a malevolent being called February. The main character is a balloonist called Thaddeus. (Balloons are so in right now)
The film will be directed by music video helmer Ray Tintori, who has made videos for MGMT and The Killers.
Spike Jonze is in post-production on Where the Wild Things Are, which opens here December 3.
