Follow the Bloody Brick Road?… Film Company Considering ‘Wizard of Oz’ Remake
‘The Wizard of Oz’s’ yellow brick road could turn red in a horror remake of a classic film.
FOX’s Michelle Pollino reports:
One of Hollywood’s top studios is developing ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ into a horror film. New Line, a division of Warner Bros, bought an untitled pitch by screenwriter Mike Van Waes. The project does not have a producer yet.
Does Dorothy double as the devil, are the munchkins murdered? We will soon find out. The novel published in 1900 was turned into a successful film starring Judy Garland as Dorothy in 1939.
The story follows Dorothy who lives in Kansas with her aunt Em, uncle Henry, and dog Toto. A tornado carries Dorothy and Toto to a magical land to battle the “Wicked Witch of the West”. New Line has been successful with modestly-budgeted horror hits, including two “Conjuring” films.
