DAKOTA FANNING MISSED TIN MAN, SO- SHE PLANS HER OWN DARKER VERSION OF THE THE WIZ.

From tinyurl.com

-Dakota Fanning could don ruby covered combat boots, instead of slippers for this "sequel": the WB studio is claims this will be "more action-packed"(a la Ripley from Aliens) than that '39 musical.


The Wizard of Oz starred Judy Garland as Dorothy, a Kansas farm-girl
who finds herself whisked to a technicolor world of munchkins and
witches. By contrast, the Warner Bros remake will play out in the
present day and chart the adventures of Dorothy's feistier
granddaughter.


"You've still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place," explains co-
producer Todd McFarlane. "But she's much closer to the Ripley
character from Alien, than a helpless singing girl."


Fanning, 15, came to fame with roles opposite Robert De Niro in Hide
and Seek and Tom Cruise in War of the Worlds, before going on to star
in Charlotte's Web and The Secret Life of Bees. She will next be seen
in New Moon, the sequel to last year's vampire romance Twilight.


Based on the 1900 children's book by L Frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz
stuttered on its initial release, before going on to be embraced by
generations of film-goers. The US Library of Congress claims that it
is now the most watched movie in cinema history.


Inevitably the film casts a shadow that other sequels have struggled
to escape. Liza Minelli – Garland's daughter – voiced a little-seen
cartoon version, Journey Back to Oz, in the 60s, while Walter Murch's
ambitious Return to Oz bombed at the box office in 1985. Warners will
no doubt be hoping that their all-new, action-packed version fares
differently.
