So I am watching The Wizard of Oz right now and am in love with the idea of remaking the movie into a modrnized version. Now I mean exact replica, the only thing that would change is the stage, props, backgrounds, etc. One scene in particular when Dorothy walks out of the house after it has crashed into Munchkinland, the flowers are all plastic and shiny. I can picture a redone set where they are all real flowers. I also picture after my idea of this movie is redone it being on a show where the show the ridiculous amount of money and time it took to make. For instance my great idea of real flowers needing to be used, well figure it would take them a week or longer to shoot the Munchkinland scene so they would need to replace the whole bunch of flowers that would probably cost upwards of 100,000 dollars in the first place, then to replace them every time they went in to shoot to get the perfect fresh coloful flower everytime that alone would end up costing 100,000 times replacement 8 times, = $800,000.
Now look at my cast that would be expensive, i dont think it would be a problem getting everyone casue who wouldnt want to do the modernized wizard of oz. This movie is such a classic. Of course since its my idea i would have to do a cameo in it as well. Can it be called a cameo if i have never been in any movie?
I am obsessed with this idea and am going to write everyone i know to try and start it. November 15, 2008 at 10:07 pm eastern time I CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA NO ONE CAN STEAL IT.
Most characters i have put in but i cant think of those few, have suggestions, I will give you a cut!!

- Hopefully you will all get to know me very well, as my whole entire blog will be the latter "about me" but until then 24 years of age living in what was once called the number one city in america, but i bet none of you know this. I do not and will not capitilize my i's that are in the middle of a sentence. I am married to a man who has a big heart but it is hidden and i am on the forever journey to try and find it. I recently thought of starting a blog because i believe some things that happen in life are worth writing down. This might be a string off of my new found love of books.

Hi Candy,
I'd hate to burst your Glinda (not Glenda) bubble but not only are you not the first to think of this idea there are already several different adaptations are currently in the works. Furthermore, Hollywood would never remake The Wizard of Oz. Let me repeat they would NEVER remake it. What they will and are doing is making new incarnations and retellings of the original story.
I know because I work in Hollywood and get the google alerts on all things Oz. Your blog popped up on my list.
I SOOOO LOVE your idea!!!! I love the Wizard of Oz and more than that I LOVE Dakota Fanning....
They did a remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory they should DEFINITELY do a new Wizard of Oz.... damn, now I want to watch that movie... thanks a lot Candy!!! Love ya girl!
