According to producer David Heyman, Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class writer Jane Goldman has been brought in to script the next draft...
Heyman: “[Arcel] did a draft, and now he’s supervising Jane, who’s doing a draft. Hoping that it’ll come in and we’ll be able to move to the next stage. All these things always take longer than you want. And ‘Fables’ is not easy, by any means, but I think it’ll be pretty great.”
Fables was created by Bill Willingham and centers on a large group of familiar fairy tale characters who are very much real and living in our world. After being evicted from their lands they now live in a place called Fabletown set in a hidden part of New York City. If it sounds a lot like Once Upon a Time, well now you know why the TV series never got off the ground.
No updates on a start date or anything like that, but perhaps a date will be announced along with another major Vertigo adaptation in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Sandman. [CBR]
