They're doing a live action version of it.  Here's the cast list so far:

King Haggard:       Christopher Lee
Molly Grue:         Mia Farrow
Mommy Fortuna:   Angela Lansbury
Captain Cully:      Rene Auberjonois (also doing the voice of the Skull)
Schmendrick:        Jonathan Rhys-Meyers

They've got an official website for it that seems to have a fair amount of 
information already posted at: http://www.the-last-unicorn.net/

The feeling I've gotten is that they've very committed to making it a movie 
people who've loved the book will really treasure.

I've never actually read the book itself, but I have to say the cast, so 
far, looks pretty good.  I know a few of these names have been tossed 
around here a few times as possibilities for Harry Potter roles :)
