As an OZphile am providing this report courtesy of Entertainment Weekly (May 16, 2008).
Two movie studios are now working on new versions of the Wizard of OZ. Producers Wyck Godfrey and Marc Platt just received a script from Darren Lemke (of Shrek Goes Fourth fame) that closely follows Frank L. Baum's 1900 novel which represents OZ as a real place - not a dreamland. They're now waiting to hear if Universal wants to proceed with the story. Producer Todd McFarlane (of Spawn fame), meanwhile has had his own project, simply titled OZ, set up at Warner Bros. since 2007.
