(from THR.com)
"Fox is developing a contemporary take on the classic Walt Disney tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs... Tentatively titled Georgia and the Seven Associates, the hourlong dramedy... 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... The associates at the firm will have the personalities of the Seven Dwarfs. For instance, Doc is an ambulance chaser who carries neck braces in his trunk, and Sleepy is a bike messenger who parties at night and naps in the office. Some of the legal cases will be modernized fairy tales, like one about three people whose homes were taken away by Wolf Corp.
