Enough Is Enough: Hollywood Now Considering Wizard of Oz Remake

The remake/ reboot madness in Hollywood may have hit its lowest possible point with news that a Wizard of Oz remake is being considered.

But it gets worse, because there’s currently two separate remakes of the 1939 Judy Garland classic under consideration.

According to The LA Times,

One project, called “Oz,” currently lives at Warner’s New Line label. It’s being produced by Temple Hill, which is behind a little franchise called “Twilight,” and has a script written by Darren Lemke, a writer on the upcoming “Shrek Forever After.”

A second “Wizard of Oz” project, set up at Warners proper, skews a little darker — it’s written by “A History of Violence” screenwriter Josh Olson and focuses on a granddaughter of Dorothy who returns to Oz to fight evil. “Clash of the Titans” producer Basil Iwanyk and his Thunder Road Pictures are behind that one. (“Spawn” creator Todd MacFarlane is potentially involved in a producerial capacity, to give you some idea of the tone.)

The emphasis is mine, but it adds yet another dimension: the Wizard of Oz might be remade by the folks who bought us Twilight! ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

DOES HOLLYWOOD HAVE NO SHAME!
