With the summer movie season getting underway this weekend.....you will see some sequels like Iron man 2, Sex and the city 2 and yes for the final chapter Shrek 4. You will also see some remakes like the A-Team and old 80's tv show that from looking at the previews looks pretty good. However, there are just some films that you just don't remake and one of them is the "Wizard of Oz".
Really? Are you kidding me why do you want to remake a classic. If Frank Baum the writer of the wizard of oz were alive he would say "you already made it once, can't you just leave my book alone." How do I know that their possibly making a remake. Well, not to long ago Robert Downey Jr. was being interview for his film Iron Man 2, but said that he was in talks about playing a part in the new wizard of oz film that wouldn't be out until 2013. If you still don't believe me look it up on imdb.com.
With all the technology and special effects that they do to alot of the these films there is just something about the original that makes it unique. Plus, this just shows you that hollywood can't come up with something original. Now, if they decide to make this awful remake, I would make a few suggestions on who should play some of the parts.
Dorothy: Reese Witherspoon because she can sing, but if their isn't a lot of singing then Ellen page of "Juno" fame would work.
Scarecrow: Hugh Jackman Tin Man: Liam Neeson The cowardly lion: Jack Black or Robert Downey Jr. The good witch from the North: Cate Blanchett or Nicole Kidman
The wicked witch of the west: This was probably the toughest choice of them all either Joan Collins of "Dynasty" fame or Jane Fonda. The wizard himself: Christopher Lloyd or Sean Connery.
Who would you put in these parts if they made this film?
