Mi stupisco del ritardo...
Da Deadline ‘Watchmen’ Helmer Nicole Kassell Set To Direct ‘The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz’ For New Line EXCLUSIVE: Watchmen director Nicole Kassell has been set to direct New Line’s feature adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s beloved American children’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Temple Hill partners Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey are producing with Marc Platt. Isaac Klausner will be executive producer. Kassell won a DGA Award for dramatic series and an Emmy as executive producer of HBO’s critically praised smash Watchmen adaptation. She was a visual architect of the limited series, directing three of its nine episodes, including the pilot. This is a major priority project for the studio and a big star-making opportunity for Kassell. Her selection follows an extensive director search by New Line to find a visionary filmmaker to re-imagine The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. They liked what they saw in how Kassell acted as a meticulous world-builder in overseeing every step of the Watchmen production, setting the show’s striking visual tone with no detail overlooked and weaving visual cues from the panels of the comic into the series as delicate Easter eggs for fans. Kassell also demonstrated the ability to adapt challenging material, breathing new life into DC’s revered and notoriously difficult-to-adapt graphic novel. 'Toto: The Dog-Gone Amazing Story of The Wizard of Oz' Animated Pic In The Works At Warners With Alex Timbers Directing The project keeps Kassell in the WarnerMedia fold, after Watchmen and eps of the HBO series Westworld, The Leftovers, and Vinyl. Kassell also directed the pilot for TNT’s Claws and next directs the HBO pilot The Baby. She also has the film Silver Seas for Participant Media. Kassell’s feature debut came on The Woodsman, which premiered in competition at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and was distributed by Newmarket Films. It received a CACAE (Art House award) at Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes Film Festival and other fest awards and got her a nomination for the Spirit Awards for Best First Feature. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was published in 1900 and inspired 13 additional Oz books. It long has been a Hollywood fixation — the book is in the public domain — and has been the inspiration of numerous project since the classic 1939 musical film The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland. That film is in the Warner Bros library, meaning the fresh take on Baum children’s novel can draw on elements like the ruby slippers, something rival projects cannot do. Previous screenplay drafts were written by Darren Lemke and the duo of Neil Widener and Gavin James. “I am incredibly honored to join Temple Hill and New Line in bringing this beloved classic to the screen,” Kassell said. “While the 1939 musical is part of my DNA, I am exhilarated and humbled by the responsibility of re-imagining such a legendary tale. The opportunity to examine the original themes — the quest for courage, love, wisdom and home — feels more timely and urgent than ever. These are profoundly iconic shoes to fill, and I am eager to dance alongside these heroes of my childhood as we pave a newly minted yellow brick road.” Kassell is repped by WME and Management 360. |

interessante un nuovo Mago di Oz... certo dipende molto dal cast che metteranno...
ci piacerebbe una MacKenzie Foy per il ruolo di Dorothy... speriamo non mettano qualche sciacquetta che non ha arte nè parte... |

sempre difficile doversi scontrare con un pilastro della storia del cinema come il musical originale, e soprattutto considerando che ogni film sul tema tranne quello non e' mai stato un grande successo.
Sarebbe comunque bello vedere un film piu' fedele al romanzo e anche la possibilita' di una saga e' stuzzicante. |

Davvero curioso come questo progetto sia stato nominato alle ultime rivelazioni sulla regia di Wicked; come al solito se deve arrivare qualcosa, arriva tutto insieme, con gli Studios pronti a cannibalizarsi. Speriamo che Dorothy abbia più fortuna di Biancaneve per esempio...
Seguirò con interesse. |

Scusate l'off-topic, ma dato il soggetto, potrebbe incuriosire gli appassionati:

Trovato lo sceneggiatore e il regista del film: Kenya Barris.
Dal sito DeadLine: Kenya Barris To Write & Direct Reimagining Of ‘Wizard Of Oz’ For Warner Bros; Khalabo Ink Society Producing EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros just set Kenya Barris to write and direct Wizard of Oz, a reimaging of the fantasy classic, with his Khalabo Ink Society producing. We all know the story from the 1939 film, but Barris is keeping the creative details close to the vest. It will be a modern reimagining of the iconic musical. His deal closed last week. Sheila Walcott is overseeing for the studio. Deal comes as the Black-ish creator is in post-production on his feature directorial debut, You People. Barris and Jonah Hill wrote the original comedy together, with a slamming cast that includes Hill, Eddie Murphy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lauren London, Nia Long and David Duchovny, among others. Next month, Barris will launch Entergalatic, a television event that he co-created with Kid Cudi. The first-of-its-kind project is inspired by the Grammy winner’s upcoming album of the same name and combines adult animation, music, fashion and art to tell a story about modern Black love in New York City. Barris has been leaning more into features, including Girls Trip and Coming 2 America. Upcoming is a remake of the sports comedy White Men Can’t Jump; a feature film about comedic icon Richard Pryor that Barris is writing to direct and produce; an animated movie inspired by the songs and music of Bob Marley; and a feature-length musical about Juneteenth that he has teamed with Pharrell Williams to produce. Barris has also expanded into podcasts and music (with the launch of his Khalabo Music label last year), as well as studio ownership with BET Studios. He is a principal partner of BET Studios. Barris is repped by CAA, Artists First and attorney Gregg Gellman. |
