More remake news…

The LA Times has reported that Warner Bros may be bringing back a new and improved remake of the Wizard of Oz.

There are two kinds of project slated. One, simple entitled Oz, is going to be produced by Temple Hill, the same people behind the Twilight franchise. And another project, a much darker version, is going to be written by Josh Olson and will focus on the granddaughter of Dorothy, who returns to Oz. The second project is technically a sequel, rather than a remake.

In fairness though, Wizard of Oz has been remade and redone plenty of times. There’s even one that starred the late Michael Jackson with Diana Ross in the movie musical, The Wiz.
