Sorry, Hollywood doesn't have ANY original ideas that they have to try and sell a REMAKE of one of the most remarkable films ever?

Let's hope this dies on the vine, and quickly.

Return to Oz was good, but I wouldn't call it one of the most remarkable films ever. Besides, it was a sequel to a remake of a series of silent films based on a musical based on a book ... Oz is the original Hollywood remake/sequel factory, its creator was involved in the early adaptations, and remakes and sequels have been produced every few years (okay, with a few lacunae) since ~1910. All this "Oooh, they are defiling a classic!" talk really betrays an ignorance of the property.

Wikipedia article on Oz adaptations.
