Somewhere over the shark
Apparently someone put up a billboard in the Ideaspace that reads “TIME TO ‘RE-IMAGINE’ THE WIZARD OF OZ, EVERYBODY! WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?”
First it was American McGee’s OZ game, which sadly never happened due to legal issues. Then last month there was the news that Todd McFarlane finally got the green-light to turn his “Twisted Land of OZ” action figure series (the Dorothy remains one of the most disturbing examples of brazen misogyny I’ve ever laid eyes on) into a feature film, possibly to be directed by one Michael Bay. And now we have the trailer for TIN MAN, a six-hour Sci-Fi Channel miniseries starring Zooey Deschanel as “DG” (get it?) and Alan Cumming as “The Scarecrow, Although We’re Going To Call Him Something Else For The Sake Of Cleverness, Like, I Dunno, ‘Rags’ Or Something”.
Eh, maybe it’ll be good. Who knows.
Anyway, without further ado, here’s your WTF? of the day, courtesy of the good people at Sci-Fi. (Keep an eye out for Richard Dreyfus, who, inexplicably, is in this.)
“That’s life in the Oh-Zee”? Are you fucking serious?

This could suck. But it also has the potential to be very interesting. It certainly looks cool visually.
I’m gonna keep an open mind on this one, myself. I like the actors, and Zooey Deschanel seems to have some taste when choosing scripts. Cummings certainly does. (Except for X-MEN, I know, but he’s one of the best things about the second film.)
