ABC is doubling down on its fairytale-themed “Once Upon a Time,” planning a spinoff of the Mad Hatter character, an individual familiar with the situation told TheWrap on Friday,
The network is looking to recast the character, which was played by “Gossip Girl” alum Sebastian Stan for half a dozen episodes last year. (Stan is currently preparing to star in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” for a 2014 release.)
The spinoff is currently in the very early planning stages, the individual told TheWrap.
Interestingly, the spinoff could end up competing with NBC’s “Wonderland,” That project, which is being executive produced by “CSI” creator Anthony Zuiker, reimagines Alice as a woman who develops into the malevolent Queen.http://movies.yahoo.com/news/abc-planning-once-upon-time-spin-off-featuring-012456363.html
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I’m all for the spin-off but I don’t want Sebastian Stan to be replaced!!! 🙁
[adrotate group="5"]Hmmmm. Nope, not a fan of this… It’s too early for a spin-off. And without Sebastian Stan I don’t see the point. The guy makes the role, it would weaken the whole series, OuaT included if they did this. Isn’t Neverland a better suggestion? Make it target a younger audience, with Bae growing up there, like dr Who and spinoff the Sarah Jane Adventures. There’s a lot of story potential there, not to mention Hook has a BIG fanbase.
Hmmm or Frankenstein’s world… it could be the dark equivalent like Torchwood. I mean his world seems rather creepy, compaired to the others. And Anders has this analytical Benedict Cumberbatch quality about him (Sherlock) that could really make that work. Making the same series over and over, like they do with CSI is rather pointless… not to mention annoying, I can never tell which version I am watching. You already have OuaT, so if you make something new, make it different.
Let them wait till Sebastian is available if they really want to do this.(sorry for anyone not knowing what dr Who is. It’s a British SF series… where the US does not save the world, but we all get saved by an alien on a weekly basis. It’s very refreshing. Try it some day. 😆 )
