A prequel to "Oz?"

[Archae]

Yes, this trailer is going to be shown at Comic-Con, Disney is making a prequel to "The Wizard Of Oz."

1. I hope that they make in 3D for IMAX

Otherwise they'll never be able to fit all of the suck onto the screen.

2. I wonder how many "new" and "original" characters it will feature for merchandising

and copyrighting/trademarking what is now a public domain work. The usual Disney shit, harvest PD material, change it a pinch, and copyright it forever.

Hmm, looks like Warners, which owns the Garland version is putting up a fight.

3. I think it looks pretty interesting/fun ...

... and staring at James Franco's smile for 2 hours is never a bad thing, either.

4. When I saw the subject line

My first thought was of the HBO series that takes place in a prison.

6. I thought there already was a new one out called "Tin Man".
