Kazu Kibuishi, the editor of the acclaimed "Flight" comic anthologies, has been interviewed by Comic Book Resources about his new project, "Amulet." Here's an excerpt:

What was it about "Nausicaa" and "Bone" that really spoke to you?

I actually came across the books pretty late in my life. I discovered "Nausicaa," along with the other works of Hayao Miyazaki, while at the end of my college years. It was when I started looking into inspirational storytelling in animation that I went to a screening of "Princess Mononoke" and fell in love with his work. "Bone" was something I was familiar with for a long time, beginning in high school, but it wasn't until after graduating college that I really gave it a strong look, and was blown away by Jeff Smith's amazing comic. I keep both of these books very close to me while I work on "Amulet."

In other news, Will Smith's kids have been tapped to star in the feature film adaptation of "Amulet." VFXWorld.com has more.
