If the abundance of Wes Anderson-style remixes and mash-ups just weren't enough to tide you over until the quirky indie auteur's next hit, you're in luck -- Anderson is taking up the directing reins again, this time to helm a stop-motion animation about dogs.

According to IndieWire, Anderson's next project will give man's best friend the Fantastic Mr. Fox treatment.

Perhaps this is Anderson's way of making up for any and all previous mistreatment of dogs -- a brief look over the director's oeuvre shows a dog being run over in The Royal Tenenbaums, a dog being hit by an arrow in Moonrise Kingdom, and even a dog being smacked around by Jeff Goldblum in The Life Aquatic.

In case you thought animated dogs fared any better, a beagle in Fantastic Mr. Fox is drugged with poisonous berries.

Though details remain under wraps, IndieWire reports that the film has begun stages of pre-production.

All fingers crossed for dog-loving Anderson fans that that it won't be just an aesthetically-pleasing, center-framed montage of stop-motion animated dogs being maimed or killed.
