Dude, I really hope not... I just dumped a few bucks into production... Hopefully the proceeds will ship me off to Hawaii (and those rights to intellectual property will set me up for a while)... I expect this movie will appeal to the masses and make some big box office bucks.

I agree that the movie will probably do great and be pleasing to the masses. I'm just not a real big movie goer that's all.

I like the flash intro on the website. There are little hot-spots you can click on!

I hope this pans out for you. I also hope you were able to get better than a net profit deal which is what the big studio's typically offer. I think the movie has the potential to be blockbuster given how well known the Wizard of Oz is.

Yeah, but I don't watch much TV or see more than 1 or 2 movies a year. The job of an actor and watching movies are two completely different things. If I'm playing a doctor it's not my job to act like a doctor. It's my job to do the job of a doctor.

It's like an artist/painter, who studies and works with other artists but doesn't go to art shows.

Hey I appreciate it! The more "track time" I got racing, the less interested I was in watching it on TV! PALES by comparison to the real thing.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I won't go see it. Not particularly interested in another remake of an old movie. Same reason I did not see the new True Grit. Who can top John Wayne?

Blasphemy! Has Hollywood become so stagnant that they have to piggy-back on a 72 year old movie? I guess there's not much creativity coming out of our colleges these days. The point is moot anyway since nowadays you can't tell if it's real acting or if it's computer generated. What a load of hooey!

I think it's supposed to be the continuation of the story, with Dorothy living in OZ. Am I wrong?

Matty, there can be NO continuation of the story-line. It was all a dream, Dorothy's back home, Toto's cool, and the weather cleared. End of story.

(why the heck am I defending a stupid movie?)

Maybe she eats some Kansas Spring time cow pie mushrooms and goes back to OZ.

Matty, now THAT's what I'm talking about! Fresh, new, original, and totally surreal. Sheesh, you should be a screenwriter.

L.Frank Baum, who wrote The Wizard of Oz in 1900, also wrote 13 other "Oz" books. I don't know if this movie is faithful to any of them, but there certainly are other stories to tell. As far as there being any creativity, I think there is plenty out there but, the movie industry wants to appeal to the broadest market (think Chevrolet vs Ferrari)so it only fosters and produces mostly plain vanilla fare.

Bill, you first posted this a year ago and now you say it is scheduled to come out a year from now. It sure is taking a long time to finish.

So many species,

so little time.

Mayhap she goes to Australia (OZ) and discovers a new species of Archo with orange/red crownshaft. :)

I believe the project actually started back in 2009 Jerry. I agree, long time... But 3 years is about the average from concept to creation on a major CGI, add 3d and it usually takes longer.

Dorothy of Oz is actually a book written by L. Frank's great-grandson, Roger S. Baum, and is a sequel to his great-grandfather's stories. Roger has written many Oz books. More importantly, Roger collaborated with the movie and most of the story should be very faithful to the text.

This project isn't about redoing The Wizard of Oz (I'd think every would agree; that would be a movie blasphemy!)... The directors, producers, etc. were more focused on introducing the hollywood-overstimulated current generation to some great classic stories...

Maybe Dorothy stayed at a Holliday Inn Express...
