Vertigo's Fables - The Series

[Sawyer]

More Vetigo stuff should be adapted to TV. It's suits the medium so much more than movies..

Agreed. I'd much rather see Y the Last Man as a series than a film.

YES. No LeBoeuf, though...

 

[Sawyer]

He probably wouldn't do a series anyways, so for television.

Another Vertigo book that desperatly deserves the TV treatment is Transmetropolitan. It should be be animated and it should be HBO.

Sounds like I need to read some Vertigo books.

For those waiting for the rumored ABC television adaptation of Vertigo comic Fables… you may want to stop holding your breath. According to writer Bill Willingham, the show is “probably dead.”

Talking to io9 about the comic’s 100th issue, Willingham said,

Through rumors of rumors of mistellings of legends, I understand that the new DC regime was very much interested in getting Fables going [as a television series]. The TV show that was prematurely announced is probably dead — don’t hold me to that, because I don’t know. Hopefully, I’ll know before it airs, but I’m kind of out of the loop.
​

A shame, but it’s good to know that the powers that be at DC want the show to happen. Maybe on another network, if we all click our heels together three times and wish really hard…?

Well, I'd say that's good because I don't see how ABC could possibly do the series justice.

It needs to be on HBO, Showtime, or AMC. With it's very "out there" and "different" premise it would go great with those networks lineups.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Not surprised. Though I do hope we get a tv series sometime.

Fables would fail on a network anyway. It is better suited for cable.

The problem is that it would sort of be too much like Sanctuary I think.
