Movie Addicts. Celeb Dishers. Gamers. We're All Here.

For some reason, Hollywood is just loving the older fiction—first we’ve got two Alice in Wonderlands, and now, a…well…new to us version of the classic Oz. Based on the comic book “Dark Oz”, we’re basically going to see our familiar faces the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion converted into somewhat terrifying “dark” forms and then set over sections of Oz to rule by a pair of conquerors. Said conquerors, Ruggedo the Gnome King and the sorceress Mombi of earlier Oz works, probably believe that to have “familiar” faces ruling the denizens of Oz as tyrants will do quite effectively to demoralize them.

They’re planning to start production at the end of 2008, and I’m looking forward to seeing what will come out. After enjoying American McGee’s Alice, I think a little edge on some of the classics might be worth seeing.

And until then, we have plenty of other fantasy movie trivia waiting on Kwanzoo.
