Wizard of Oz remake? Why??? (Hollywood, adventure, watch, Casablanca)

[TheJickler]

I know why, but still, this is ridiculous.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (2011) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1320309/ - broken link)

Honestly, with everyone wanted to make a buck, I am actually shocked this hasn't already happened (or has it)? I agree though it seems to be a bad idea.

No way any remake can even come close to the original. NO WAY. Some movie remakes are good, but this is not one of them at least IMO.

You cannot nor should not attempt to "remake" a classic. Like that horrible remake of Cheaper By The Dozen...Let's hope they don't ruin the Wizard Of Oz also!

So true...like the HORRID remake of the classic: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY......Talking dogs and cats ruined the original intent and flow of the Disney classic .

I know, and the book is out of print I believe.

The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking (1988)

Because Hollywood ran out of good ideas a long time ago.
