That Alice in Wonderland sequel is still happening, in case you’d forgotten. Disney have sent out a reminder by announcing the official title: Through the Looking Glass. Through the Looking Glass, of course, is the follow up to Lewis Carroll’s original novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Weirdly, both were used as source material for Tim Burton’s hit 2010 film. James Bobin is taking […]

The trailer for Bryan Singer’s long-gestating Jack the Giant Slayer has arrived, and the film looks as if it’s cut from the same cloth as all those other recent fairy-tale reinterpretations. A bit of a different take on the legendary fable, it stars Nicholas Hoult as a simple farm boy who joins the King’s army in their battle […]

Wondering how Sam Raimi has reinvented the The Wizard of Oz? Wonder no longer! The trailer for Oz, the Great and Powerful has arrived online, evoking producer Joe Roth’s previous epics Alice in Wonderland and Snow White and the Huntsman.

Disney just released the first teaser poster for their upcoming Oz, The Great and Powerful, starring James Franco. It’s a lovely image to be sure but it doesn’t really tell us much about the film.

Sony has won the bidding war for the not so cleverly titled Peter Pan origin story Pan, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The latest in a string of re-imagined fairy tales including Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood, Pan will star Channing Tatum (who in my opinion grows less appealing with each passing day). […]
