Tik-Tok Lives Again
So it seems that L. Frank Baum’s Oz book series is going to at last come to the silverscreen as a whole.
According to an article on sliceofscifi.com, Warner Bros. has purchased the film rights to all of the original 14 Oz novels, plus a fifteenth book by Ruth Plumly Thompson.
Apparently it is going to be a combined effort between Todd McFarlane and Josh Olson.
One can only hope that McFarlane will restrain his tendencies a little and not produce a product that is as out-of-touch with the original concepts of the books in the way that his Twisted Land of Oz action figures are.
I think that it is great that he wants to update the series and make it “more 2007,” but please don’t warp the childhood of millions by turning Dorothy into a dominatrix.
