What fresh hell is this? Variety is reporting that a group of investors has picked up the rights to Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, a book of prose poems about a wandering prophet who offers his wisdom to the people he meets: insights on friendship, love, marriage, and other topics. Those investors are hoping to bundle the insightful chapters into "an omnibus-style 3D-animated film," which will be developed by different groups of animators around the world.

The team behind the project isn't inspiring any faith in me, either. Clark Peterson, who is co-producing with Ron Senkowski, has Monster on his resume but has otherwise produced some rather iffy projects, like Dim Sum Funeral with Bai Ling. (He's also attached to the terminally in limbo James Ellroy adaptation White Jazz.) Investor Steve Hanson and William Nix will be working as executive producers on the project.

Will this project ever actually come together, »
