Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures are teaming on
Oz, Spawn creator
Todd McFarlane's revisionist take on the L. Frank Baum books that begat the
Wizard of Oz chestnut.
Though McFarlane's vision is described as "dark, edgy and a muscular PG-13," and an
Oz toy line he launched years ago reimagined a rather buxom Ms. Gale, screenwriter
Josh Olson (
A History of Violence) tells
Variety, "Dorothy as some bondage queen isn't something I want to do. I want this to be
Harry Potter-dark, not
Seven-dark."
