According to
Collider, director David Yates (
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
) may be attached to helm an adaptation of Bill Willingham’s comic book series
Fables. You may remember that in December of 2008, it was reported that ABC was adapting the books for a new TV series. For those unfamiliar with the comics,
Fables centers on characters from fairy tales, myths, etc. living in New York after their homeland is overtaken by a figure known only as “The Adversary”. Presuming this film adaptation is in the works, then I think we can assume the television version is dead. Also, the project would be set up at Warner Bros. since they own publisher Vertigo Comics, which is a subsidiary of DC Comics.It's been awhile since any word about the tentative
Fables TV series has circulated. The last evidence that the property was still being considered for a live-action treatment was when the ABC network announced it's plans for an adaptation; but that was several years ago.
Bill Willingham’s award winning
Fables series follows the story of many popular fairy tale characters, such as the Big Bad Wolf, Snow White, Boy Blue, Cinderella and the Frog Prince, who are chased out of their realms (dubbed the Homelands) when an evil force called the Adversary declares war. The characters, both human and animal based, find sanctuary in our world and build a community in New York.
David Yates, who has helmed four of the
Harry Potter films, has recently been linked to take over directing Peter Jackson's two-part prequel
The Hobbit, since Guillermo Del Toro officially stepped down. No work yet from Warner Bros whether there is validity to this new rumor; but
Fables fans should at least be happy to hear the series may not be ignored for much longer.
Collider is reporting that director Adam McKay of Anchorman
fame is in serious talks with Sony Pictures to bring Garth Ennis' comic book series The Boys 
to the big screen.

but couldn't muster much niche support let alone broader interest with its feeble presentation: not serious and dramatic enough for Western buffs and too obscure for most fan boys. It had one of the worst openings on record for a Western, let alone a comic book movie.
