new oz movie?

[dangerous mermaid]

with the 70th anniversary of the wizard of oz coming out and the rumors of a wicked film in 2011, i was thinking another oz movie should be made in the near future. l. frank baum wrote thirteen other interesting adventures through oz, why not make one of them a film as a tribute to him? i dunno. i like that idea. any thoughts?

Wicked was an interesting new take on things, but I'm not so sure about making new actual sequels to the original without a new "origin".

On a semi-related note: Most of the follow-up books blow chunks. Just sayin'

haha the books themselves might have been less than thrilling, but the very ideas that they were based on are fantastically weird to say the least. i mean come on, who wouldnt want to watch a movie about a boy named tip who creates a man with a pumpkin with a head, battles evil witches of oz, and then finds out he was really a princess (princess ozma) the whole time? i think there's something there. and i know theres a lot of people who would welcome the ideas with open arms.
