This may well be the HOTTEST rumor that I have heard in a long time...they say that there is a remake in the works of The Wizard of Oz movie in 3D!
When I discovered that fact, I reckoned that some people were going to really love this development and some people were absolutely going to hate it and, so far, popular opinion on my new page, The New Wizard of Oz Movie in 3D, is already split.
Susan52 spoke out strongly about what she thinks about movie studios remaking classic movies when she said, "Some things should just be off limits. Seems like a remake of such a classic movie, one of the classic-est of classic movies in fact, would be a big waste of money. Besides, the flying monkeys are scary enough in 2D!"
But visitor BuckHawk said, "Ooo, looking forward to it. Love the old one for sure, but enjoy updated versions, too."
I am anticipating two camps...those of us who grew up watching The Wizard of Oz movie every single year without fail and those who did not, with the first group either disliking the idea totally or, like myself, being a little wary of what they might do to one of their favorite movies.
Questions abound about the movie but there is not much official information available yet. There are, however, tons and tons of rumors with at least five possible films being discussed. If rumors are accurate, Warner Brothers has it down to just two possible directions that the movie will take but I guess we will have to wait a bit longer to see how this development unfolds.
Meanwhile, I am curious about what you think of a 3D remake of The Wizard of Oz?

Thanks for including my quote. I still feel the same about The Wizard of Oz being a classic - and about the flying monkeys. Love the t-shirt design you've featured. Very nice!
I to think the Wizard Oz is a classic, I also loved The Wiz! I googled and found some news about this "new" movie..

I think it looks cool...Billy Boyd and Sean Astin together again!
Thanks for your comments, Susan and Kameron.
Thanks for the heads up, too, Kameron about the new trailer for The Witches of Oz in 3D being available. I have added it to my post today at http://www.musicmovietreasure.com/2010/06/witches-of-oz-3d-trailer.html

Great thanks ! I know this really has a great cast! The Wizard of Oz is a classic and will never be redone. Its nice to see this new twist of a grown up Dorothy! What i like about it the most is the cast is not the talented overpriced, Robert Downey's blockbuster make a movie for money, but great underated actors such as Christopher Lloyd, Lance Henrickson and Mia Sara , making a comeback!! I love it. It kinda reminds me of a Cinderella story in the making for this Director!
