Once Upon a Time

Geekyfanboy · May 18, 2011, 08:29:48 AM

Looks like we are getting two fairytale type series this fall... this time it's on ABC..

Completely different feel and storyline.. it will be interesting to see if both can survive.

From the inventive minds of "Lost" executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis comes a bold new imagining of the world, where fairy tales and the modern-day are about to collide.

And they all lived happily ever after – or so everyone was led to believe. Emma Swan knows how to take care of herself. She's a 28-year-old bail bonds collector who's been on her own ever since she was abandoned as a baby. But when the son she gave up years ago finds her, everything starts to change. Henry is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emma's help. He believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world and is Snow White and Prince Charming's missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queen's curse, which trapped the fairytale world forever, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world. Of course Emma doesn't believe a word, but when she brings Henry back to Storybrooke, she finds herself drawn to this unusual boy and his strange New England town. Concerned for Henry, she decides to stay for a while, but she soon suspects that Storybrooke is more than it seems. It's a place where magic has been forgotten, but is still powerfully close... where fairytale characters are alive, even though they don't remember who they once were. The epic battle for the future of all worlds is beginning, but for good to win, Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight like hell.

"Once Upon a Time" stars Ginnifer Goodwin ("Big Love") as Snow White/Sister Mary Margaret, Jennifer Morrison ("House MD") as Emma Swan, Robert Carlyle ("The Full Monty," "Trainspotting," "SGU Stargate Universe") as Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold, Lana Parrilla as Evil Queen/Regina, Jamie Dornan as Sheriff Graham, Jared Gilmore ("Mad Men") as Henry, Josh Dallas as Prince Charming/John Doe and Raphael Sbarge as Jiminy Cricket/Archie.

"Once Upon a Time" was written by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, who are also executive producers, along with Steve Pearlman (ABC's "V"). The pilot is directed and executive-produced by Mark Mylod ("Entourage"). "Once Upon a Time" is from ABC Studios.

This preview reminds me a bit of the early "Eureka" previews, but with magic and fairy tales instead of tech. Another one to put on my "must see" list this fall. Especially since Robert Carlyle is involved!

I was a fan of Legend of the Seeker. Sad to see it go. I will certainly be checking this one out. It reminds me of the Seeker (in a small way.)

Well if the Grimm brothers based series crosses the pond I may take a look. Also noticed a Mentalist type dectective series in the latest updates. That one I will be giving a miss.

This one looks really awesome. The production values look amazing and the cast is top notch. Definite must see for me.

Great first episode, so fun and mysterious! Love it so far!

I liked it too. Reminds me of some comics I have read. Definitely a season pass for my TIVO!
