WIZARD OF OZ PROJECTS IN THE MAKING







How many Oz films are they making ?


This from Wikipedia :

* The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a 2011 CGI film directed by John Boorman.

* Dark Oz is an upcoming adaptation of the Calibre Comics series, Oz. It is to be directed by Pearry Teo and star Pras Micheal

* The Witches of Oz is an upcoming film starring Sean Astin, Christopher Lloyd and Lance Henriksen. Based loosely upon the Oz series, the story is set in modern day New York. The grown Dorothy Gale, now a successful children's book author, learns that her popular books are based on repressed childhood memories.

* Surrender Dorothy is a The Wizard of Oz sequel set to be directed by Drew Barrymore. The project was first announced in 2002 with Barrymore set to star but it is unclear if she will be both directing and acting or if she will find a new lead.

* Oz, The Great and Powerful is set to be directed by Sam Raimi, and will tell the story of the wizard's arrival to Oz. Robert Downey Jr. is the frontrunner to play the title character.

* L. Frank Baum's the Wonderful Wizard of Oz is to be directed by Clayton Spinney and written by Sean Gates. It is a faithful adaption that combines live-action and CGI technology. Writer Sean Gates gave the tentative release date of 2012 in some form or fashion, though the date is subject to change.


Those are lot of Oz films in the coming years
