There are five volumes of it so far, with the sixth due in July to finish the story in time for the movie -- and I love them. They are each around $9 each at amazon.
Yes, it definitely does! Jason Schwartzman plays Gideon. Vol. 6 is out in July, and the movie covers the whole plot, just in condensed time. Brian Lee O'Malley was in on the process pretty closely, even rewriting sections according to Wright.
I have been intentionally avoiding information about the movie because of O'Malley's involvement in the hopes of keeping Volume 6 unspoilt (I know, how uncharacteristic of me!), but this trailer showed up when I went to see a movie this weekend.
Hrm... curiouser and curiouser... I guess I shall be going to this for sure, not that I wasn't planning on seeing it eventually (Ed Wright's movies have all been fun to watch, Hot Fuzz especially.)
I only hope that this paves the way for more smaller books to get adaptations, like the Blue Beetle Live Action TV treatment DC are hoping to achieve (see my LJ post).

I want the movie to be out like NOW.
How is it possible that this movie gets more awesome every time I see another trailer for it?!
I worry that my expectations will be built high beyond belief...
I think I'll be trying for premiere night! ♥
I've only read the first few pages of the 1st volume but they've got the "manic" vibe down perfectly!
Oh wow, he looks weird with blond hair. She dusts... LOL.
I'm REALLY looking forward to this movie!

If it does well, hopefully it will pave the way! I did know about the BB adaptation. Fingers crossed it's greenlit. ♥
