It's been reported previously that Warner Bros. has two different Wizard of Oz projects in development. Now it looks like they have one good enough to go into production. The film is a prequel with the working title Brick. ProductionWeekly announced it's director and possible star along with a new title Oz The Great & Powerful. It looks like they've been able to wrangle Sam Mendes into the director's chair since Bond 23 isn't likely to shoot anytime soon. Robert Downey Jr. could be playing the role of Oz. I'm sure it would center on the early adventures of Oz which could be very exciting and expand the mythology. The script was written by Darren Lemke who recently wrote Jack The Giant Killer. It's likely this will also be 3D film considering it's being produced by Joe Roth (Alice In Wonderland). I personally loved the sequel Return To Oz growing up, so I'm curious to see how things work out.
