My instinct is that it's obviously going to be crap.

But on the other hand, the movie Wizard of Oz is pretty different to the book. If they want to adapt the book in their own way, then fine.

But modern Hollywood trying to do Wizard of Oz? Nah, that would be utter shyte.

They did that with Return to Oz and the reception was hardly favourable

Good! I can stick it on the list of films I'll never watch. It can join the likes of the Wilie Wonka and Ghostbusters remakes. Mean Girls is on that list too.

Some roles in films should be sacrosanct.
With the original film not messed with or altered.
This in my view is such a film.

I don't think this will work.

A stage production update can be effective but not as a remake as a film.

That was a prequel and I actually thought it was a decent movie.

I'm not mad at it, although it's destined to be terrible if they try to do a straight remake of the film. I'd like to see them tackle the book versions, or even the darker Oz of the Wicked books (The broadway musical was a very loose adaptation of the books).

Yeah I’d definitely be ok with them tapping into the darker side of Oz

Well, kind of, Return to Oz was based on a couple of the sequel books rather than the first one.

There have been loads of different adaptions over the years.

I remember Sam Raimi saying about his 'Great and Powerful' prequel he wasn't allowed to use certain elements from the 1939 film - such as the witches' skin having to be a different shade of green - because of rights issues.

(Although I just read that Warner Bros hold the rights to the 1939 film so this version will be able to use things like that).

Why

Can they not just make new movies with new ideas, I genuinely can't think of a remake I prefer over an original
