Fables
12/8/08 - DC Comics' fantasy comic series Fables is being adapted for a pilot by ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  The fantasy project, based on the comic book created by Bill Willingham and published by DC's Vertigo imprint, deals with characters from fairy tales and folklore living in exile in modern-day New York. Stu Zicherman and Raven Metzner are writing the script for the hourlong drama for Warner Brothers TV. David Semel has come on board to direct Fables.  Zicherman and Metzner wouldn't elaborate on which fairy tale characters will be featured in the TV series, but noted that Big Bad Wolf and Snow White, who are central to the comics, will have a similar role on the show.
