Following on from quickfind:321284 ...nothing much has really been mentioned as to what's going on with the new Oz movies. But a member of soul/hip-hop group Fugees wants to get his hands dirty with this project!

Pras Michel has optioned film and TV rights to comic series Dark Oz....originally published by Caliber Comics. The storyline follows an older Dorothy Gale in a "gothic and more macabre" setting as she journeys through Oz with the characters known to millions via Frank L. Baum's Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

The screenplay was adapted from the work of original comic creators Aaron Denenberg, Ralph Griffith and Stuart Kerr...and there are plans to begin production at the end of 2008. The movie will be a live-action version of the comic trilogy, which Michel intends to produce as three separate movies. In addition to producing duties, Michel plans to star as the Scarecrow. A wise move?


Michel produced the upcoming release The Mutant Chronicles with John Malkovich and Thomas Jane, and a 2007 documentary on homelessness, titled Skid Row, in which Michel lived as a homeless man in Los Angeles for nine days.


My opinions haven't changed since my previous Oz thread.. I'm still looking forward to seeing how this pans out..and especially interested in seeing Michel as Scarecrow!
