  07:15 - MOVIES: Prince Charming - Disney Buys Live-Action Prince Charming Project
  
  Matt Fogel wrote the script.
  
  Disney is continuing its push into live-action fairy tales, closing a deal for a feature project centering on Prince Charming.
  
  Matt Fogel wrote the script, while David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman of Mandeville Films/TV as well as Tripp Vinson are on board to produce.
  
  And since no other studio has done more to ensconce the idea of Prince Charming into the public mind — with movies such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Sleeping Beauty andCinderella — it is most appropriate the studio take a close look at the man as well.
  
  Details are being kept behind a moat, but the script is described as a revisionist take on the fairy tales.
  
  Mandeville is production on Disney’s live-action take of its 1991 classic Beauty and the Beast that stars Emma Watson andDan Stevens.

  06:30 - The Man in the High Castle - Ridley Scott Interview + First Photo
  
  
  
  Turning Philip K. Dick’s dark, dense novel about an alternate 1962 (in which the Axis powers won World War II and carved up the U.S.) into a 10-episode thriller intimidated even Ridley Scott—who famously turned Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? into 1982’s Blade Runner. The Man in the High Castle, however, works as both a science fiction drama and a period piece as it follows two charactes: a man (Luke Kleintank) in the Nazi-occupied east U.S. who tangles with the Resistance, and a woman (Alexa Davalos) in the Japanese-controlled West who discovers a film showing an alternate history where the Allies won.
  
  Scott, who serves as an executive producer for the series, talked to EW about the challenge of crafting a show that has to transport viewers to the post-war era, albeit a changed one, as well as immerse them into a distinctly unsettling atmosphere. For him, that world-building meant creating a visual language just for the series in a “house book.”
  
  ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You’ve obviously worked with material by Philip K. Dick before. When did you first consider The Man in the High Castle as your next foray into Dick’s works?
  
  RIDLEY SCOTT: I think it probably goes all the way back to my dealings with him [while working on Blade Runner]. I met with him at the time, and he hadn’t seen much of Blade Runner, because I just wanted to get the thing done and shot and to put in my special effects. At that point, I personally thought it was turning out so well I invited him to see the operation, particularly the opening shot, and he said he was kind of stunned. I don’t think he expected that. He said, “Have you read The Man in the High Castle?” And I said, “In fact, I haven’t.” He said, “Good lord, this seems to be very derived from High Castle.” So with that, I read the book.
  
  Why did you want to turn the novel into a series?
  
  I thought it was kind of a really challenging thing to do. I’d seen a film done by a man called Kevin Brownlow. He’s quite an important early filmmaker in England before my time, and he had done a film called It Happened Here, and of course, it was precisely that notion of, “What if they had won, and we’d lost?” And so you suddenly had Piccadilly Circus full of German SS officers walking arm-in-arm with the local girls. It was bizarre to see that, because remember, I’m a bit of a war baby myself. When I lived in up north [in England] at that particular point [after the war], we had German prisoners integrating into the local farms up there, and interestingly enough, not one of them ever wanted to go back to Germany. So I was kind of steeped in it a little bit, because [The Man in the High Castle] happens about 17 years after the war, and so it’s not very many years after, and I always had it in mind. When the time arose, David Zucker [a producer for the series] and I were approached and asked “Would you consider this?” I said, “Absolutely.” It was a natural, an open door, you know?

  In the closing moments of the season finale, we saw the Darkness envelop the brothers inside their Impala. What’s next?
  
  Fans should be prepared for both the expected and unexpected. What we have planned so far is pretty wonderful, but it’s very hard for me to tease it.
  
  If Dean had ended up killing Sam and going into exile to remove the Mark of Cain as Death had advised, the Darkness would never have returned. Will Dean have regrets about his decision?
  
  There’s no question the boys will feel the burden of having been part of releasing the Darkness. It’s tough for me to believe, however Dean will get to that place. You might have to file this one under the price Dean was willing to pay.
