Fox is developing a contemporary take on the classic Walt Disney tale of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” from producers Chris Brancato and Bert Salke, feature writers David Weissman and David Diamond and director Ken Kwapis.
Tentatively titled “Georgia and the Seven Associates,” the hourlong dramedy, produced by ABC Studios, is tonally described as “The Devil Wears Prada” meets “Taxi” set in Los Angeles’ legal circles.
It centers on Georgia Burnett, a young lawyer who is banished from a top law firm run by her stepmother and forced to team up with seven quirky lawyers at a storefront legal office.
“It is ‘L.A. Law’ vs. the little engine that could,” said Brancato, who is writing the script with Weissman and Diamond.
