Disney Developing A Wizard Of Oz Prequel

Sponsored Links

We actually like the sound of this!
Sources tell PerezHilton. com exclusively that Disney is developing a prequel to The Wizard of Oz and they’re hoping to snag Johnny Depp or Robert Downey, Jr. in the role of The Wizard!
As for a director, Disney likes Baz Luhrmann!
That could be epic — but would that mean we’d get stuck watching Nicole Kidman as Glinda the Good Witch?
We wonder if it will be based on Wicked or if the script is a new interpretation?

  1. Well they did the sequel return to oz….as a child scared crap out of me!! I think Isla Fisher for Glinda, Robert Downy for Tin Man, Jack Black for Lion, Vince Vaugn for Scarecrow (although he’s a little big), Angelina Jolie for Wicked Witch, and George Clooney as OZ. For Dorothy Amanda Bynes or Mandy Moore

  2. Maybe the’re just bringing Wicked to the big screen? Ugh, I thought that show was beyond overrated.

  3. Prequel? There’s plenty of great Baum ‘Oz ‘books (without having to have Dorothy in them), why don’t they go with one of those?

  4. i don’t know who’s best for the wizard role RDJ or Johnny Depp

  5. Wicked was actually based on both the MGM movie as well as Disney’s Return to Oz (in which Tik Tok makes his on screen debut). Both were based on books, but the MGM movie Wizard of Oz took several liberties. The Emerald City itself wasn’t even green in the book. The gang had to wear emerald colored glasses that locked to their heads so that everything simply appeared green.

    But anyway, this is not Wicked. This is Brick. See my comment above. This is also not news. Let alone an exclusive.

  6. Perez is only hoping they make the Scarecrow Gay!

  7. Oh no! No! No! No! My God no! It´s the end!

  8. ooh… bad move. Ya don’t screw with this movie.

  9. Ugh Im so sick of Johnny Depp being in every fucking movie and ruining it. He ruined charlie and the chocolate factory, he ruined sweeny todd. This guy is a good actor but thanks to Tim Burton his career is becoming a bit of a joke.

  10. Re: Fashion_Journalista – umm ‘WICKED’ is actually based on the MGM movie NOT the book series….in the books Elphaba or the wicked witch is NOT green she is a short fat old hag with one eye.
