Please Hollywood, start getting some orriginal ideas!
Ok....snore fest! As if the orriginal wasn't lame enough and please it is lame, now it'll be lame in 3D! Perhaps they can get Gilbert Godfree to play the cowardly lion so his voice can start riots at the hollywood premere?
They must have brought all the pot smokers together from Fantasia for this. Great, another Beatles boaring MTV music video.
This is all Hollywood can do now is craft films based on rediculous, time wasting, brainless video games like warcraft? Has orriginality left or what?
Whenever you remake a revered Hollywood film, theres bound to be controversy, but going right to the original material is certainly an interesting approach. Warner Bros is in early talks with Robert Zemeckis to direct a live-action remake of the The Wizard of Oz and plans to use the original script from the 1939 classic. Warner Bros owns the screenplay because Ted Turner bought it along with the MGM library before Warner Bros bought Turners empire. This latest Oz twist comes as Disney is trying very hard to mount The Great And Powerful Oz. Sam Raimi is developing that film while he simultaneously develops World of Warcraft for Warner Bros and Legendary. Disney and Raimi want Robert Downey Jr as their star. The original Wizard of Oz script had a total of 19 writers (seems not much has changed in Hollywood) with many of them uncredited, including Bert Lahr who played the films Cowardly Lion. This wouldnt be the first hugely high-profile remake for Zemeckis; he's in the middle of a Yellow Submarine animated redux for Disney, scheduled for a 2012 release. Also, after working for years in performance-capture animation, Zemeckis has been moving toward a return to a live-action films, attaching himself to Timeless also at Warner Bros.
