Fox has given a pilot commitment to an adaptation of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" from "Fringe" creators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The pilot is a modern-day supernatural thriller based on the 1820 short story following Ichabod Crane's efforts to bring peace to a troubled community called Sleepy Hollow.

Another "Sleepy Hollow" project is circulating in Hollywood as well. "Missing" writers Grant Scharbo and Patrick Macmanus are in talks with The CW to bring their take on "Sleepy Hollow" to TV, Deadline exclusively revealed. Scharbo and Mcmanus' version offers a modern take on the classic horror tale by making Cranean FBI agent who travels to the titular town to check out a beheading.

Similar to this "Sleepy Hollow" situation was last development season when ABC and The CW had "Beauty and the Beast" dramas -- both went to pilot but only The CW's made it to series. The CW's "Beauty and the Beast," which stars "Smallville" alum Kristin Kreuk, is loosely based on the '80s CBS series that starred Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. It's a modern-day retelling of that love story with a procedural element.



"Beauty and the Beast" premieres on Thurs., Oct. 11 at 9 p.m. ET.

沪江娱乐快讯：Fox电视台将推出约翰尼·德普（Johnny Depp）旧作《断头谷》改编的电视剧试播集，由《迷离档案》（Fringe）制作人艾利克斯·库茨曼（Alex Kurtsman）和罗伯托·奥力克（Roberto Orci）出品。试播集是个惊悚的超自然现代故事，基于1820年的小说《断头谷传奇》（The Legend of Sleepy Hollow)改编，小说讲述了警察伊查波·克莱恩（ Ichabod Crane）在“断头谷”小镇调查无头命案的故事。

另一个《断头谷》的改变计划也在逐渐成形。《疑踪》（Missing）编剧格兰特·斯卡伯（Grant Scharbo）和帕特里克·麦克迈勒斯（Patrick Macmanus）正在与CW电视台协商，将他们改编的《断头谷》故事搬上荧屏。他们的版本也是一个现代故事，把克莱恩（Crane）变成了FBI探员，远赴名叫“断头谷”的小镇调查无头命案。

和《断头谷》类似的是，上一季ABC和CW都计划推出《美女与野兽》的改编剧，都播出了试播集，但只有CW的剧集成形。CW的《侠胆雄狮》（Beauty and the Beast）由《超人前传》（Smallville）的克里斯丁·克鲁克（Kristin Kreuk）出演女主角，改编自CBS电视台80年代由琳达·汉密尔顿（Linda Hamilton）和朗·普尔曼（Ron Perlman）出演的电视剧。该剧也是《美女与野兽》爱情故事的现代版重现。
