Are we off to see the wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz – again? New Line Cinema is making a new adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz, L Frank Baum children’s novel, with Nicole Kassell, the visual architect of Watchmen, set to direct. 

Baum's 1900 novel, now in the public domain, has spawned many adaptations over the years – most famously, of course, the 1939 MGM musical by Victor Fleming and starring Judy Garland.
