Have you ever noticed that The Wizard of Oz is one of those stories that has endured lifetimes? It has been done and re-done into a variety of stories since its creation by L. Frank Baum back in 1900. There was the classic movie with Judy Garland as Dorothy. There have been a variety of others too. There have been over 13 sequels written to the original story, and that's not counting all of the "interpretations" of the story. We have a couple of graphic novels and comic books that all are different takes on the Oz story.
This winter Sci-Fi channel is doing a mini-series called "Tin Man" that is their own take on the story. One of the trailers is below.
What do you think? It definitely has a star-studded cast. But just from this trailer it has a "Flash Gordon" feel to it - and I just don't want it to be another version of that show.
Sequential Tart is doing a round table in the Tart Time Machine next month on Wizard of Oz too. Be sure to check that out!
