Remake of Wizard of Oz
Dust off your red shoes as a remake of the classic Wizard of Oz is in the offing.
The much-loved musical will be re-made to celebrate the film's 70th anniversary.
Warner Brothers have snapped up the project and are set to spend a whopping £20 million on the new version, set for release in 2009.
The remake promises to bring the movie right up to date featuring Dorothy as a tough-talking heroine and laden with dark humour.
The film by former Marvel Comics executive Todd McFarlane told Variety magazine: 'Dorothy is much closer to the character Ripley from Alien than a helpless girl in our film.
Producers are already lining up a star-studded cast and are desperate to sign up Natalie Portman to play Dorothy. Warners insisted: 'We're not turning Dorothy into a sexual character.'

omg this will be soooo good. I really hope the movie will be followed by the books and not the musical. The musical is pretty good but the books are way better. It would be good if they change the plot just a tad. Cant Wait!!!!
