The project will have ties to both the original 1900 L. Frank Baum novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz.
New Line Cinema has picked up a pitch from writer Mike Van Waes for a new horror movie that is set in the magical world of the classic film The Wizard of Oz.
No specific story details were revealed, and it remains to be seen what characters from The Wizard of Oz will appear in this story, if any.
The most recent theatrical rendition of the Wizard of Oz was director Sam Raimi’s 2013 film Oz: The Great and Powerful, which starred James Franco and Mila Kunis.
