Dakota Fanning is rumored to get the lead. This is not a reboot, but a pick up of the series. This new Wizard of Oz film will follow Dorothy's granddaughter in present day.
Co-producer Todd McFarlane said: “You've still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she’s much closer to the Ripley character from Alien [Sigourney Weaver] than a helpless singing girl."
Filming could possibly start next year.
