Dark Oz
Variety reports here that Hip-hop artist Pras Michel (The Fugees) has picked up the film and TV rights to the comic series "Dark Oz," originally published by Caliber Comics (Though it could be another series called just "Oz,: which was the product of Caliber, or it could be another). The story (thought to be going the route of film trilogy) tells of an older Dorothy Gale in a more macabre setting as she returns to and Oz under the power of darker forces than she dealt with in the original L.Frank Baum tale. Production begins late in 2008, with Michel thought to be casting himself as The Scarecrow.
