Source: http://www.deadline.com/2012/06/disney- ... ris-mccoy/Chris McCoy, who has landed three scripts on The Black List, has just made a deal for a high concept romantic comedy pitch at Disney with Mandeville partners David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman producing. The plot is under wraps, but it involves iconic fairy tales, something that has been a preoccupation for the studio. McCoy’s Black Listed scripts are Get Back, which has Don Scardino attached to direct; Good Looking, the Double Features-produced pic that has Randall Einhorn directing and Allison Brie to star; and Good Kids, the Depth of Field-produced film on which McCoy is attached to make his directorial debut. He’s repped by WME and Gotham Group.

From what I recall, there's Into the Woods, Cinderella, Peter & the Starcatchers, Magic Kingdom, and Beauty & the Beast (ABC TV series). I think there may be even more.DisneyAnimation88 wrote:Do Disney have any other live-action fairytale adaptations in development aside from Maleficent?
Also there were plans for Order of the Seven, Tink, Beauty & the Beast, and Enchanted 2 but they have all been shelved.

Plus, I personally feel Enchanted ended on the right note. Giselle is now fully integrated in the world and living happily with Robert, the villain was defeated and even their respective exes lived happily ever after. I'd rather Enchanted stay as the one excellent movie it is.

I find it ironic that a company, that said just less than three years ago that they would no longer do fairy tales, have gone completely insane with fairy-tale projects since then. Not that I have anything against fairytales but the originality in Disney's project slate, as of late, has been currently lacking.

I HATE that Disney Channel obtained the rights to a show called My Babysitter is a Vampire ....
Disney Channel died when they stopped airing movies with Haley mills (Parent Trap and Pollyanna) and fun adventure movies like Swiss Family Robinson. R.I.P. the REAL Disney Channel. Date of Death: When the shows became teenie bopperish.

But of course I love fairy tales, so I'm just enjoying it while it's hot.
