Oh, goody. Another movie to avoid.

From Variety:

"My pitch was ‘How do we get people who went to ‘Lord of the Rings’ to embrace this?’ " McFarlane said. "I want to create (an interpretation) that has a 2007 wow factor. You’ve still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she’s much closer to the Ripley from ‘Alien’ than a helpless singing girl."

Sorry, Todd.  I don't see it, unless your vision of Oz has changed significantly over the last two years. 

Because this depiction of Dorothy?  Doesn't even remotely remind me of Ripley.
