First issue cover |
Just to show how popular "Once Upon a Time" has become, it now has its own magazine available at newsstands and specialty comic stores.
Issue #1 of 2 is at U.S. newsstands now. The second issue (and presumably final) issue will arrive in the summer of 2013. There are 148 pages of exclusive cast interviews in the first issue:
-Jennifer Morrison discusses her role as Emma Swan and how the character has grown
-Jared Gilmore gives the special viewpoint of a child actor
-Meghan Ory reveals insights about playing dual roles as a wolf and a waitress
-Lana Parrilla gives insights about the Evil Queen
-Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis talk about creating the show
There is lots of behind-the-scenes stuff, and the first issue discusses season one in depth. The second issue will focus more on the second season.
The magazine also went on sale in in the U.K. on March 7. and in Australia and New Zealand on April 13. This site in not affiliated with them, but we understand you may order copies here.

Lana Parrilla at 2013 Oscars
Lana Parrilla Looking Stunning on Oscar Night
Lana Parrilla, who plays the Evil Witch on "Once Upon a Time," was kind enough to provide some photos of her prep for and appearance at the 2013 Academy Awards for her fans. She attended an Oscars after-party for EJAF.![]() |

Lana Parrilla the full effect |
Some folks don't particularly like this look on Lana Parrilla, though she looks terrific. I think they expect her to go out in real life in full "Evil Witch" costume - which, truly, would be kind of campy if she went anywhere near that. Anyway, just for comparison and without making any judgments about who looks better and so forth, here is another Oscars attendee, Samantha Barks, strictly for comparison.

Behind the Scenes - The Queen is Dead 2x15

Young Snow White |
This is the best picture from this group and deserves special treatment. I like this shot just because, unlike a lot of behind the scenes shots, it gives a real flavor of what it must be like to be on set as an actor, apparently here rehearsing a scene. Bailee Madison as young Snow White apparently is looking for direction.

Mad Hatter Spinoff Possible
Deadline.com, among others, is reporting that ABC is planning on spinning off the Mad Hatter character from "Once Upon a Time" into his own series. The original Mad Hatter on the show, Sebastian Stan, is busy working on Broadway ( "Picnic") and feature films ("Captain America"), so he isn't available for further appearances or his own series. Someone else will wind up with the role, so all you Mad Hatters out there, get ready for auditions!

Sebastian Stan was a fan favorite |
Another possibility would be to cast someone new as the Mad Hatter later in the season and perhaps, if he proves popular but not popular enough for his own series, upgrade him to a series regular as happened with Emilie de Ravin (Belle), Meghan Ory (Red) and Colin O'Donoghue (Hook). Or, he could potentially become part of the developing "Alice in Wonderland" project at ABC.

The Mad Hatter is a great draw with children |
In any event, great news for all you Mad Hatter fans, it appears you will be seeing a lot more of the character!

The man himself |
Nobody will do the role better than Sebastian Stan, though.

Rumpelstiltskin has a dark side |
In the original Grimm fairytale, Rumpelstiltskin is a key figure. A miller lies to the king, telling him that his daughter can spin ordinary straw into gold. The king wants gold, so he imprisons her so that she can make him some. Rumpelstiltskin appears and offers to spin the gold. However, she must offer up to him her first born child.
Cora is the miller’s daughter in ABC's "Once Upon a Time."

Fun Cast Photos of Stars
Fun New Cast Photos of the Stars of "Once Upon a Time"
Some posed promotional cast photos that you hopefully will enjoy. Obviously, they all are having a bit of fun, which is nice as it shows a loose set.One personal note - much as I admire Robert Carlyle and think he probably is the best actor on "Once Upon a Time" (with the possible exception of everyone else), the fewer times I have to type "Rumpelstiltskin," the better. ;)
