- I’ve heard of a lot of remakes and ideas for television series based off of movies and books, but this is one time I really hope it is some big rumor and not happening. I don’t think that is the case though. NBC has plans to remake The Wizard of Oz. Yes, The Wizard Of Oz, one of most classic movies of all the time. No, this isn’t the first time the movie has been re-made. We had The Wiz at one point and time, and I actually enjoyed that as a remake.
  
  Back then remakes actually tried to do something a little bit different, and they were interesting. Now it just seems Hollywood isn’t able to find an original idea to save its life, and everything that ever made an hit impression is up to be remade. NBC has picked up this drama that is currently titled Dorothy Gale. It will be a modern re-telling of the classic novel and movie with Dorothy moving from Kansas to New York City.
  
  There is something good behind this though. Jason Katims, the man behind such popular series as Friday Night Lights, Roswell and My So Called Life, is behind this new series. He won’t be writing things for the series, but he will be overseeing the project. This gives me just a little bit of hope that the project might be worth something. I’ve enjoyed what Katims has done in the past. Executive producing this series will be Friday Night Lights writer Bridget Carpenter. What do you think of this one?
