Interesting cast. Is there an actual story written about the wizard, or is this one just all made up by someone other then Baum?

I have hopes that Raimi can produce something unique and engaging, but when he's working on a big-budget film within a major studio I can easily see any special vision he has eschewed for something more commercial (i.e. an Alice in Wonderland 2).

Cool poster. I have mixed feelings on this but I'll probably check it out.

So is Franco going to play the doorman, the cabbie and the guard as well?

If this is *anything* like the 2010 "Alice in Wonderland"--I'm out. (I'm noticing that it has the producer of said movie...so I'm not holding out any hope).
I'm guessing there's going to be an underground rebellion of The Good Guys looking for The One who will lead/free them. Just remember that I said it first on this thread.

If Raimi makes his Oz movie like Return to Oz, hell, this might be good.

True. But that was before every major intellectual property geared towards a youth audience has to be RPG-ified for maximum merchandizing potential and therefore drained of anything limping towards originality.
But, I agree, "Return to Oz" rocked in its own perverse way.
