In the Works: Sci Fi Revisits the Land of Oz
Sci Fi Channel is producing Tin Man, a $19 million, six-hour miniseries that revisits The Wizard of Oz as a "relevant, modern and fresh" science-fiction fantasy. Per Variety, the update finds a young woman name DG plunged in a netherworld called the Outer Zone, where she meets up with Tin Man, a cowardly Wolverine-like creature, a sorceress named Azkadellia, and a larger-than-life entity called Mystic Man.... NBC has tapped Rick Cleveland (Six Feet Under) to bring the indie Thank You for Smoking to the small screen, in the form of a single-camera comedy focusing on superstar spin doctor Nick Naylor (played in the film by Aaron Eckhart).

I just watched Thank You for Smoking this weekend. I don't know how NBC thinks it's gonna work as a show. But Naylor was actually a lobbyist, not a doctor.

Funny how a story can change completely when you accidentally leave out the word "spin."

A Sci-Fi Wizard of Oz? They must be joking.. now it's official.. there ARE no new ideas in Hollywood. Just stupid unnecessary remakes.
