John Boorman, known for directing Deliverance, Point Blank, Hope and Glory and The General, is attached to direct the $25 million, CG-animated movie The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Based on L. Frank Baum’s original novel the movie will be Boorman’s first cartoon movie.
The story is written by Boorman, Ron Mita and Jim McClain (Robots) and is set for summer 2010 delivery.
Unlike MGM’s classic the movie is not a musical, but maintains the main characters and setting.
This is quite a change in genre for Boorman. I am sure he will create a great movie.
