Peter Rice Revives Stephen King Fantasy Epic 'Fairy Tale' At A24; Paul Greengrass Cracking 10-Ep Series With 'Fringe' Showrunner J.H. Wyman

Rice, who had read and loved the book, put it all back together at A24, with Greengrass remaining in the film, and Wyman joining him. Published by Scribner, King’s Fairy Tale follows a 17-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a portal and enters a terrifying world where good and evil are at war. After years in various executive suites, Rice has gotten his new career as a producer off the ground with Saturday Night, the Jason Reitman-directed feature about the harrowing 90 minutes that Lorne Michaels, cast and crew spent before that cultural atom splitting moment occurred when they launched Saturday Night Live.
