Fairytale retellings will probably always be around, though they seem to be especially in vouge at the moment. Isn’t there some action-flick version of Hansel and Gretel coming out at some point?
I have to say though, I am extremely excited for Guillermo Del Torro’s plans for an upcoming version of Beauty and the Beast with Emma Watson as the main character. His fairytale-ish works are dark, whimsical and well-written (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Orphanage) and I can’t wait to see what his take on this one is! (Also, apparently one of the producers worked on Ed Wood and Edward Scissorhands), so I’m hopeful.
