secondlinaExcept not really...
I just learned a few weeks ago about this upcoming movie called the "Witches of Oz".
The story is : Dorothy Gale discovers that her best selling novels are actually based on suppressed childhood memories of her time in Oz, and that she may be in danger of experiencing it all over again.
Christopher Lloyd ... Is the Wizard of Oz . REALLY? NICE. I think my heart just stopped. DOCTOR BROWN!
You can visit the following website to see a teaser trailer of the movie.
My reaction to this movie is strange. Half of me is going "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, a potentially good Oz-themed film, oh my god!" while the other half of me is going "Great, something else with a really high budget Namesake has to compete against". But I think the "Oh my god" part of me is winning. Why? First off, that movie actually looks good, and the director actually seems to be a Oz-book-reading-and-loving dude. Second off, I picked popular fairy tales as a subject for Namesake. The fact that other things would come out was to be expected. Not to mention the adventures in Oz is just the first chapters of Namesake. Third, i'm a sucker for anything with the Oz witches. Fourth, interest in Oz from a lot a viewers might actually be good for Namesake. The only thing I don't like about this movie is how they made Dorothy the writer, editing out Baum completely. Kinda what Tim Burton did with his Alice movie.
But, hey. The special effects look rad. Amiright?
This was suppose to come out in 2010. Got pushed back to 2011. But it seems to be doing well, since they have the whole cast and actors listed.
Next post will have a drawing, I swear. Bad lazy panicking artist, bad!
