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.

Years have passed, and Catherine is a strong, confident, capable police officer, working alongside her equally talented partner, Tess. While investigating a murder, Catherine discovers a clue that leads her to a handsome doctor named Vincent Keller, who was reportedly killed by enemy fire while serving in Afghanistan in 2002. Catherine learns that Vincent is actually still alive and that it was he who saved her many years before. For mysterious reasons that have forced him to live outside of traditional society, Vincent has been in hiding for the past 10 years to guard his secret – when he is enraged, he becomes a terrifying beast, unable to control his super-strength and heightened senses. Catherine agrees to protect his identity in return for any insight he may have into her mother’s murder. Thus begins a complex relationship between Catherine and Vincent, who are powerfully drawn to each other yet understand that their connection is extremely dangerous for both of them.

‘Emily Owens, M.D.’
At long last, Emily Owens feels like she is an actual grown-up. She can finally put her high school days as the geeky-girl-with-flop-sweats behind her; she’s graduated from medical school and is now a first-year intern at Denver Memorial Hospital, where she’ll have the chance to work with world-famous cardiologist Dr. Gina Beckett – and where, not-so-coincidentally, her med-school crush Will Rider is also an intern. So why does everyone keep warning her that the hospital is just like high school? Emily soon finds out the hard way – her high school nemesis, the gorgeous, popular Cassandra Kopelson, is also just starting out at Denver Memorial, and it seems like they’re rivals all over again – not only as surgical interns, but for Will’s attention. Fellow intern Tyra Granger warns Emily that the cliques at Denver Memorial are all too familiar: the jocks have become orthopedic surgeons; the mean girls are in plastics; the rebels are in the ER, and Tyra has her own awkward place as the principal’s kid – her father is the chief resident. Emily’s the new kid all over again, and it’s just as awkward as high school. Only this time around, Emily will have to balance the personal and emotional turmoil of social politics with the high-stakes world of life-and-death medical decisions. At least she has fellow intern Tyra and nerdy-but-cute resident Micah, to count on as friends. Emily is growing to realize that although she may be a geek, she may also grow to be a great doctor, flop sweats and all.
