CW Pilots: "The Carrie Diaries, "Arrow" & "Beauty & The Beast"

The CW has ordered three new pilots, The Carrie Diaries, Arrow, and Beauty & The Beast.

Tt's been rumored time and time again but now I guess it is official, the prequel to Sex and the City is moving forward at CW. The Carrie Diaries will follow a young Carrie Bradshaw as she parties down in the 80's version of Manhattan. I'm sure if this series does well and is picked up, you can expect a movie or two to come out of it as well. Fits in as a accompaniment to Gossip Girl, or it's replacement.

Marc Guggenheim and Greg Berlanti are everywhere? Those dudes might be taking over Hollywood. Their names seem to be all over every tentpole and tv show lately. Their manning the bow on Arrow which will follow the heroic deeds of DC's Green Arrow. Andrew Kreisberg will be producing along with Marc & Greg. You wonder if some of Smallville's fan base will help build a foundation for this show.

Last but not least, an adaptation of Beauty & The Beast. Looks like the re-release of the animated picture in 3D is just an appetizer to this show. Following loosely in the footsteps of shows like Once Upon A Time and Grimm, this adaptation will rewrite the story with a little help from the 1987 television series.
