Warner Bros. to Turn All 15 Oz Books Into Movies

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the high-probability-of-sucking dept.

Lucas123 writes "After purchasing the rights to the Oz books from Ted Turner Warner Bros., along with Village Roadshow Pictures, will be taking Spawn creator Todd McFarlane's idea to produce movies based on the Oz books. They've obtained the rights to the 14 titles written by 'The Wizard of Oz' author L. Frank Baum, as well as the the fifteenth book ('The Royal Book of Oz'), written by Ruth Plumly Thompson. Screen Writer John Olson's 'vision is of a bit tamer PG movie and hopefully the two can find some middle ground of compromise that will please them both and not hurt the final product.'"

    I'd hate to be the guy who has to weigh every book to figure out which ones are 15 ounces.

    (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
