Live-action/claymation flick in the works?

From aintitcoolnews, I was first drawn to this story announcing a psychological thriller called BORN by the impressive cast. They have Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany so far, but then I did a double take when I saw the Chiodo Bros' mentioned as being brought in to "integrate" stop motion animated sequences.

The movie's about a couple that settle down in a quiet English town to raise a family. The husband is a claymation artist and begins to find his creations taking on a life of their own, acting out a living nightmare.

How cool does that sound?

Relative newcomer Daniel Simpson directs from his script, co-written with Paul Kaye and Clive Barker. Barker produces with Guillermo del Toro, Lawrence Gordon and Lloyd Levin.

I don't know. Now I agree with Octo that the little Zulu Warrior guy with all the teeth from that movie I can't remember the name of was a scary guy. I'm sure ImNotMarc remembers as he had quite the time riding Octo about that.
My point being - will the claymation guys really be that scary? Couldn't you just step on them, or leave them out of their airtight containers so they harden?

That would be "Trilogy of Terror."
Thanks, Octo!
