Rumpelstiltskin (Sony)

[Sotiris]

With his “Game of Thrones” days coming to an end, Peter Dinklage now has his eye on a classic fairytale character. Sources tell Variety that Sony is in development on “Rumpelstiltskin” with Dinklage attached to star and produce. Patrick Ness has been brought on to pen the script with Karen Rosenfelt, Circle of Confusion’s Matt Smith and David Alpert, David Ginsberg, and Josh Weinstock also producing.

Sources say the film is still in deep development and would not be Dinklage’s next project after “Game of Thrones” ends. They add, however, that it is a priority for the actor and studio. Plot details are being kept under wraps aside from the film focusing on the mythical character that Dinklage would play. It’s unknown if the story will be set in modern times or its original setting.

This sounds like it would be good, especially with Dinklage involved.

I thought for years he said he would not play stereotypical "dwarf" roles? Leprechauns, elves...

Oh well, since he's set for life after GOT I imagine he'll play anything at this point.

Part of me is excited...yay a studio making a "classic" fairytale (besides the new TLM movie and Disney's remakes), but of course it might not be a "classic" story...I hope I make sense, I just woke up! I'm definitely intrigued, though.
