It’s in the air…

This week’s Entertainment Weekly declares a “Fairytale Renaissance” in live action movies.

Warner Brother’s spooky live-action “Red Riding Hood” hits theaters this month.

“Syfy’s original movie “Red“ follows a modern descendant of Red Riding Hood as she hunts werewolves.

The NBC series “Grimm” is going to basically be a serious, live-action “Hoodwinked,” as a detective investigates modern “Fairytale based crimes.” (The detective is even named NICK, for pete’s sake!)

For once, it’s nice to be ahead of a trend instead of chasing it.

I’m intrigued to see what Hollywood comes up with. Fairytales are timeless, and even though these are more reboots chasing original classics, at least they might remind everyone of the pure place where real storytelling comes from.
