"...The wonderful Wizard of OZ" to be rebooted

This Remake going to have vampires??? Ya know...'cause vampires are all like popular 'n' stuff...Yeah...It's almost sure to suck!!!

The books are wacky good fun. A remake totally refocused on the original material,...rather than a remake of the cinematic predecessor could be fresh and surprising. Just dont let Burton do it,....Burton gets to do EVERYTHING fun.
( Besides,...then it will look more like "Burtonwurld" than anything else. )
Something that REALLY invoked the style of the original illustrations would be kewl indeed.

Damn,......that might STILL be Burton. The man is hard to dodge.

i concur haloed- on with the original for a while

Enough of the goddamned reboots, already!! Does anybody in Hollywood write scripts anymore?

no no no...the wizard will be played by old sam kinison recordings... AAAHHHHH AHHHHHHA AHHHHH!!!. the yelling will startle the puzzled 4 causing their dopamine levels to shoot through the roof, fixing them instantaneously. ;p

RE: BKsaysAction

yes, leigh scott worked for a few years with the asylum, where the shoots were MAYBE $3,000 with a 9-day shooting schedule... story dictated by the producers. this was straight out of film school, so one could consider it more like grad school. point is, imagine that paper you wrote in college -- you know, the one that you tried your best to power through, but due to no sleep and top ramen it just wasn't the best? imagine that paper sitting on the shelves of blockbuster for everyone to see. brutal.

leigh has an eye for detail, even if it's difficult to perceive through the muddy dialogue and cheesy story, which is why this movie is going to rock...
it's finally funded correctly, with a real cast.

why not root for the underdog? especially as studios run around and remake hollywood classics with zac efron and the likes... CHRISTOPHER LLOYD as the wizard, MIA SARA, BILLY BOYD. Comeon, the actors alone ensure that it won't be TOO bad.

Rofl, I hope you guys know Leigh Scott has been in the "remake" straight to video buisness for several years now. You may have seen his hit films like Pirates of treasure island, Dragon, The Hillside Cannibals, The Hitchiker, Transmorphers, and King of the Lost world.

Like most recent movies that have come out recently with big news like this...

it's just going to look pretty and have no real substance... kinda like a stripper.

didn't you see jennifer's comment?
she's right! go look at the IMDB synopsis... this one isn't a remake.
it PICKS UP where we left off!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1592287/

that seems kinda cool, right? what's dorothy doing now, was it all really a dream? what if the world she's grown up with isn't so simple...

plus christopher lloyd as the wizard? SWEET.

what!? Try thinking up some NEW ideas!! I will never watch the new one...I don't watch a lot of remakes because the first ones are always so much better!

That is so strange, I was just wondering the other day why the WWOO was never remade? My guess was that you shouldnt fix something that isnt broken. I agree with veronaaa ....

Whats next? YOUNG FRANKENSTINE?

god they ruin everything!!! ughhhhhh

Ahhhh yes. Another remake. I'm still waiting for the Animal House remake. I guarantee that will happen.

Just say No!

Already happened!!!

aaaah nooooooo. i'm sick and tired of remakes of remakes. leave the originals alone, they are called classics for a reason, stop murdering them you hollywood bastards

the leigh scott one has a fun, 80's throwback vibe -- like back to the future. i mean, hell. c.lloyd IS the wizard of oz. now THAT'S the shit.

well there gonna F it up either way. but hopefully they go with the dark concept

please gawd dont let disney anywhere near this one!

damn unoriginality of the "reboot" concept!

no one wants to see some new fancy version of this, nothing is like the original, i mean hell it's on blu-ray! that's updated enough.

another FAILURE from hollywood.

nothing will beat the original!
Just don't let Tim Burton near it!!

So is it going to explain things like why the tin man is tin (no one dies in the world of oz and its surrounding territories) or about the queen who cuts girls heads off so she can wear a new one everyday? There's some pretty weird things in the series of 16 books!

slightly darker. Yes?

Ask Terry Gilliam to direct!!

Yeah....i saw that too. Looks darker for sure...

PRE-FAIL

I'm sensing an epic fail in the making. What's next? Sound of Music?

i say we put this one in burton's hands too and have him ruin yet another classic; lets keep his record going...

FAIL.

I hate reboots...I even hate the term "reboot".

I hate remakes of classics. And this one will most likely fail, UNLESS it's directed and produced like nothing we've ever seen before. (ie. Alice in Wonderland)

But if I'd have to vote .. I'd say go for the slightly darker take on it. May be interesting?
