So Hellblazer gets a movie and a TV series and Fables gets nothing?!
For those that don't know, Hellblazer is a Vertigo comic series that ran for 23 years and had 300 issues. It ended in 2002, but was picked up again for a prequel series about it's main character, John Constantine, in 2011 (correct me if I am wrong)
In 2005, the comic got a film starring Keanu Reeves called Constantine, and last year it got a TV series also called Constantine starring Max Ryan. While this wouldn't NORMALLY bother me, Fables has nothing! >:(
Sure Grimm and Once Upon A Time take inspiration from Fables, but they aren't Fables...
Anyone else think that this is a little unfair? I know Fables is being made into a movie, but nothing has been said about it's development recently

Didn't Constantine get cancelled?
No idea :P
I literally just learned it was a TV series, and IMDB labelled it as on-going still...
Well imdb is pretty much a glorified wikipedia
Bill Willingham just commented a few days ago that it's still a greenlit project, just that the first script that was turned in was a "hot mess", so it's being re-written. In January, it was reported that the new script is being written by X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass writer Jane Goldman, so hopefully the new script turns out good and the project can go forward.
I heard all of that, I just hoped we'd be hearing more you know?
Thank you.
Screw the movie or the TV series, I want my Season 2!
Huff and Puff
Well personally I don't feel like Grimm is super based on Fables, but once a upon a time is blanten copying. Also hellblazer is like you said, 23 years old, unlike Fables which is 13
This is true, but come on!
You can hate me for saying this, but I don't think this movie should be made... There is something very special in Fables and The Wolf Among Us style and atmosphere which I don't think can be replicated in the real world, I have a feeling like the movie is going to be one big disappointment
Won't know until we watch it
If something so stupid like Once upon a time gets season 5 than there should be series based on Fables.
I think they should use television format insted of movie format.
