I would assume something in Grimly's schedule changed, I doubt he forced the author/animation expert out of the director's chair. If he's going the fairy tale route I'm disappointed that Sleeping Beauty project with Emma Watson isn't next, or is he just a producer on that? Of course if this is stop motion that means he'll likely be able to do more than one film at once since he's unlikely to be the one overseeing day to day animation and it'll take a long time to shoot. I wish he could get At the Mountains of Madness off the ground though, perhaps if Prometheus is a huge hit the studios will rethink shooting down R-rated big budget films. At the time they balked because he was adamant on having Tom Cruise instead of someone young like James McAvoy that the studio wanted, but after Ghost Protocol you'd think they would rethink that stance. But then again he said the thematic content of Prometheus itself actually pretty much negated his take on the novel, so I guess it'll never happen.

I just have to point the irony here. The guy has dropped project after project the last few years (The Hobbit, Mountains of madness plus many a rumored ones) and now he is basically taking one from another guy?! Aw…
