And Andrew Lloyd Weber just plotzed.

God I hate that motion capture thing. He's obsessed with it,and I think it's stupid. It doesn't say he's going to use it for the Oz remake, but I sure hope he isn't. I guess 80+ years is a good run, without a remake.

Is this the OZ that Drew Barrymore was attached to at one point?

Drew will strap down her breasts and play Dorothy in this remake.

I have a feeling it won't happen.
There's been talk of a remake for as long as I can remember...it just doesn't make any sense to do it.

I'm kind of with husk: not only a retelling of the story, but shooting from the 1939 script? That's just suicide.

Did they learn nothing from the awful shot for shot remake of "Psycho"?
I'm not against revisiting the material, but this is just a money grab.

I'd be much more interested in seeing the Sam Raimi helmed prequel.

Zemeckis and his performance-capturing, soulless animation can just go off a cliff. Can you imagine what the munchkins will look like? It will make Return to Oz look happy-go-lucky in comparison.
EDIT: Now it just sounds like a Zemeckis vanity project.

I don't know who they would cast because the actors in the original are so iconic.
Here's my list so far:
Jake Gyllenhaal for Tin Man
Nathan Lane for Cowardly Lion
Julie Andrews for Glinda
Michael Caine for the Wizard

I actually like the idea of Michael Caine as the Wizard.

I think they'll cast voice actors for Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, since they'll be CGI, anyway.

I don't think it will be CGI. I think they are going the "Psycho" route and recreating the movie exactly like the original.

Goth, I've thought Nathan L. for the lion before, as well.

That's because he already played it in a concert version.

Yes, he did! And he was fantastic.
But if he turns it down, I think SJP would be amazing in the role...

Debra Winger was the Witch and from what I heard nobody could tell when she was acting and when she wasn't.

Danny Burstein would make a good lion. He's already channeled Bert Lahr for a role.

Ooh, also good!
Wait a minute--why am I sounding enthusiastic for this project? It's a terrible idea.
