SyFy revamps fairy tales

[thelake]

Syfy is reinventing fairy tales and pop culture characters as part of its Saturday night TV movie franchise.

The network is airing five titles that give a contemporary twist on a classic story, from Hansel & Gretel (years after escaping the witch in the haunted forest, Hansel returns seeking revenge) to Little Red Riding Hood (a descendant of Little Red discovers her family secretly hunts werewolves).

[bla bla, some random stuff about how exciting it is to re-do all those classic stuff, plus the huge budget for each thing.]

Syfy's series of fairy tale titles kick off with "Beauty and the Beast" on Feb. 27.

If at least one of those characters can be as bad ass as Hatter (I believe in Red Riding Hood so freaking much), I'm in:

Haha. Oh. Wait a second.

Didn't Hansel and Gretal already get their revenge by shoving the witch into her oven?

I thought so, too, but she is a witch, she probably had a back up plan in case of being fried in the oven! And as long as Hansel is hot WHO CARES? LOL!

You ruin my childhood. I love you.

IA, so intrigued by Little Red Riding Hood's storyline.

LOL! Feeling is mutual my friend!

Red Riding Hood must be epic, I hope they won't ruin it!

I'm very interested to see what becomes of these. I hope so badly that they are good. haha Especially Red Riding Hood. That sounds great! <3

werewolf hunting cannot be that bad even if they try to make it bad on purpose, right? RIGHT? *is so hopeful*

[thelake.livejournal.com]

I feel it's gonna be either epic or epic fail. I'm scared.

I'm going to have to check some of these out!

I still need to watch Alice actually, eek!

[thelake.livejournal.com]

Alice didn't do much for me, except Hatter, but you should give it a try if you have some time to spare...
