Footnotes in Gaza gets animated

Whoa - has anybody heard about this yet? Award-winning Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve (Polytechnique) is adapating Joe Sacco's most recent graphic novel into an animated feature. Apparently Villeneuve will be co-writing the script (perhaps with Sacco) and will bae the look of the film on Sacco's drawings. Super-interesting.
