    It's sort of funny you say that because Wizard of Oz as F.L. Baum wrote it, is a fairy story, because princess Ozma is actually a fairy..But the story of the Wizard, I can't imagine won't be a good one...story of a con-man!

    I wish they would have just made it a musical like Wicked instead. I have read every OZ story ever written, it was more up my alley than Cinderella and all of that Disney crap. When I saw the movie for the first time, all I could remember thinking was that the shoes were the wrong color, I was like four and my obsession of staying true to the source material was born.

    You got to be kidding. From what little bit of that hum bug's story. He lost control of his balloon and landed in Oz. There hasn't been a movie since Ozma.

    That's why in LOST Ben takes the alias and reference of "Henry Gale", which later in season 3 he emphasizes to James, that James may be a good con man, but Ben and his band of Others are "better".....


    I've known about for @ a year and have been waiting for the trailer/teaser which I am guessing will be released at Comic-Con next week-end


    Here's the official synopsis:
    When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis) Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

    Well MGM is responsible for the 1939 classic film, not Disney...and because it was filmed in black and white, I could see why they may have used "red" slippers as opposed to silver, plus no doubt the studio may have wanted to make a distinction so people didn't think about Cinderella, since silver and glass are similar.


    I think if you read the synopsis you may feel a little different, as Sam Raimi's film like Maguire's Wicked Series (which also changed source material), seems interested in looking at OZ socially.


    There are a lot of people who feel strongly that Frank L. Baum was inspired and used concepts from Lewis Carroll's "Alice Adventures in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass, and there for one can argue that his own material (like most people's) aren't exactly original, but borrowed and transformed.

    But there is something intriguing (just like the Chronicles of Narnia) that some of the people in Oz, besides Dorothy, may have come from the same reality as Dorothy, and it is the comparison and transformations of people who visit other lands, that's a staple note of most human stories, folklore, science fiction, fairy tales, and even Biblical/Mythological scripture/doctrines everywhere!

    Never said that OZ was affiliated with Disney, just that I preferred it to the Disney crap. I know all about the Wizard of OZ and why they went the ruby slippers when they made it into a color picture. Technicolor was all the rage and blue just wouldn't have popped like the red did. I loved Wicked (the book) because it was snarky and interesting and I'd always felt sympathy for Wicked Witch and never really like Glinda. I actually hate musicals but Wicked, Les Miserables and La Boheme transcend the genre and appeal to me personally for some reason. I actually like all of Mr. Maguire's the books and his take on the the source material and yes, everything has indeed been done before and there is no such thing as an original idea anymore, just "improved" or tweaked. I remember reading Peter and the Star Catchers by Dave Barry, out of morbid curiosity around the same time I was reading Wicked for the first time and though they are meant for entirely different audiences, they are both "unauthorized prequels" and one book (Wicked) clearly understood and appreciated the source material while the other just tumbled along to a silly conclusion. But I'm also not the biggest fan of Sam Raimi as of late either.I have lost my confidence in him not to crumble to the pressure of the studio execs and see his actual vision through. Not to mention that I might just plum be tired of people digging up and re-imagining my childhood.

    No. I respect what your saying and know what you mean. I just never found myself thinking that my own childhood image of anything was ever original, or should be the only image of something, as I find myself always gravitating to things way before my time, and things that are modern simultaneously...But I know what it's like to have something in your mind shattered. Unless someone finally makes a better one, my image of Dark Materials on film seems like it will always be in the gutter, or made to be too watered down. );

    Yes, Mr. Pullman's work was definitely way too watered down on screen. It's a pity really. But his thoughts weren't meant for the screen, only in the reader's head in my opinion. It's not like Chronicles of Narnia which begs to be translated onto film. But I never liked those books at any rate. It's like he didn't know when to stop writing.
