From the Sci-Fi Wire:
Spawn creator Todd McFarlane and Josh Olson are preparing Oz, a revisionist take on the L. Frank Baum books that hatched The Wizard of Oz, Variety reported. Warner Brothers and Village Roadshow Pictures are teaming up for the movie.
Seriously, how many more revisionist takes on The Wizard of Oz do we really need?
Have there been any?
Seems like all the movies have been pretty straight.
Off the top of my head, there’s the upcoming Sci-Fi miniseries Tin Man, plus Geoff Ryman’s Was, Gregory Maguire’s Wicked (now also a musical), and Alan Moore’s Lost Girls.
Wikipedia has a few more adaptations:

I’m not saying this new one can’t be good; I’m just saying, it’s not the most original of ideas.
