With two TV shows brewing their own version of the classic Washington Irving tale, Sleepy Holly, it's going to be interesting to see which falls flat and which gallops away like The Headless Horseman on his ghostly steed.
Deadline reports that The CW’s "Sleepy Hollow" drama has landed at Warner Bros TV. The project was pitched to the network last month with no studio attached, and has now been laid off at one of the CW’s sibling studios, Warner Bros.
The CW was in talks for the pitch, a contemporary take on Washington Irving’s short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, when another Sleepy Hollow drama project hit the marketplace, one co-written by Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci and directed by Len Wiseman. The development led to the CW pushing the pause button in the negotiations to reaccess the situation. The network eventually proceeded with buying the project,...

As if the guy didn’t already have enough on his plate, we can now add one more movie to our favourite Mexican auteur’s ever growing pile. Director of the modern fantasy classic Pans Labyrinth and the Hellboy Series: Guillermo Del Toro has recently signed on to produce an upcoming CG-animated feature ‘Day Of The Dead’.
At first glance the title may be a bit confusing but let me clarify something: This is not a remake of George Romero’s Day Of The Dead and contains no connection to his zombie franchise or zombies at all it seems;
The story is “an action-packed, fully CG-animated picture, with a “Romeo and Juliet” style love story set against a Mexican “Day of the Dead” backdrop”.
Setup at Reel FX, the project will be directed by Emmy Award Winner Jorge R. Gutierrez best known for Nickelodeons El Tigre, The Adventures of Manny Rivera.
