What we know about the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz movie production.

As director Nicole Kassell said in a statement (2/9/2021): "I am incredibly honored to join Temple Hill and New Line in bringing this beloved classic to the screen. While the 1939 musical is part of my DNA, I am exhilarated and humbled by the responsibility of re-imagining such a legendary tale. The opportunity to examine the original themes —the quest for courage, love, wisdom and home — feels more timely and urgent than ever. These are profoundly iconic shoes to fill, and I am eager to dance alongside these heroes of my childhood as we pave a newly minted yellow brick road!"
Warner Bros. Pictures (New Line's parent) owns the rights to the 1939 film and can include the plot points in the film, such as the red ruby slippers (Hollywood Reporter, 2/9/2021).
Remake of the 1939 film. Based on the novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum.
