Bill Willingham’s long-running DC/Vertigo comic-book series, Fables, is being developed as a movie by Warner Bros and Harry Potter producer David Hayman, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Director Nikolaj Arcel (who wrote the script for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) and Fantastic Four reboot screenwriter Jeremy Slater are also on board.

Warner Bros previously tried to move forward with the modern fairy tale comic in 2004 with the Jim Henson Company but the project didn’t make it to the writing stage. Later, an attempt to turn Fables into a TV show in 2008 didn’t come through, although the network – ABC – later made the similar Once Upon A Time instead.

You can pick up the first volume of Fables for £6.89 from Amazon.co.uk
