That's what I was thinking. There is a second book. Also why are we getting these new made up wizard of oz stories when there were over 18 oz books! Why not use them?Why won't anyone ever touch Great Glass Elevator? Vermicious knids are out there, I just know it. We need a movie to spread the word.

I'd love to see a good adaptation of the other Oz books... Baum's are all in the public domain. But there would be so much pressure to make them more "contemporary" by adding odd bits of sex and violence and cynicism, even if they were aimed at kids. We'd probably get Dorothy posting stuff to Instagram and Munchkins line dancing to a hip-hop track.
I'm going to flip that around on you. I thought Van Helsing was a much better movie. It could have even been a legitimately good movie had they toned down a LOT of the CG and went with practice effects for their monsters.As hohum as Dracula Untold was, its a masterpiece compared with Van Helsing.
Good effects or bad effects can make or ruin a movie.A good movie is a good movie regardless of the quality or type of effects.
On a similar notes, bad practical effects will always have more charm than bad CG.
I am quite unsettled by the thought of them tackling Wonka meeting the Oompa Loompas.
Didn't Dahl forbid that from ever being adapted?
I don't know whether I'd like to see it or not, but there is potential to do Ozma/Tip as a trans character. The TV show Emerald City...kind of went there?
I can't wait to see the big dramatic scene where Willy Wonka has to fill out forms for a business license.
The Gypsies had no home. The Doors had no bass.
Does our reality determine our fiction or does our fiction determine our reality?
Whenever the question comes up about who some mysterious person is or who is behind something the answer will always be Frank Stallone.
"This isn't a locking the barn doors after the horses ran way situation this is a burn the barn down after the horses ran away situation."
That will be the first half hours plot!
Just keep the dentist dad from the remake away from this!
