Dorothy, We're Back in Kansas Robert Zemeckis, the guy to blame for
Forrest Gump and who is currently working on a 3-D motion-capture version of the Beatles
Yellow Submarine (because, you know,
Polar Express worked so well), is talking to Warner Bros. about a possible
original-screenplay-faithful remake of
The Wizard of Oz. Yes, THAT
Wizard of Oz. What the hell, why bother trying to create your own spin on it like
Sam Raimi and others
are doing, when you could use the same script they wrote 60 years ago? UPDATE: Word on the internet must have been so bad, Zemeckis only took a day to
decide against doing this.
