Somewhere over the rainbow, indeed! Kenya Barris tells me that LGBTQ representation will be featured in his “Wizard of Oz” remake. “The original was an allegory and a reflection of the way the world was at the time with things like the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl,” says Barris, who will write and direct the reimagining for Warner Bros. “Now we’re going to turn a mirror on where we’re at right now and take disparate characters from the LGBTQ community, from different cultural communities and socioeconomic communities, and tell a story that reflects the world. I think this is the best time to do that.”
He understands a “Wizard of Oz” remake comes with tremendous pressure. “I’m nervous,” Barris tells me. “Hopefully, my movie can last as long as the original does.” He adds with a laugh: “Hopefully my movie comes out.”

I could while away the hours
Gettin’ hormones from Doc Towers
Growin whiskers on my chin
And my head would be a risen’
While my thoughts were fantasizin’
If I only had a .....
Well, maybe the gays will like it. That leaves 98% of people who won’t.
I read that in the UK movie industry today you can’t get funding unless you have significant roles for minorities in the film. It doesn’t matter if it makes no sense to the story you still have to do it if you want the money. I guess its the same in Hollywierd. My question is, “Is there that large enough of a minority audience out there that needs to be appealed to? Is it all for show? If so it seems to a thin thread to hang a multimillion investment on!”.
With a recession coming, some one(s) with a lot of money to waste. . . . .
It’ll get an NC-17 rating because of the scene where they lube up the Tin Man.
“Socioeconomic communities”. And here, I thought we were all one. So complicated!! In the future, will I need different atm cards depending on which “socioeconomic” community I’m in?
Change “reflect” to “change,” fixed.
Can tell you now, I wouldn’t spend a millisecond of my time or a nickel of my money watching this utter trash. There is no need to smear perversion over a beautiful classic, but the amoral soulless libtard filth just has to paper over anything nice with their venal dung.
The only straight women are likely to be the Wicked Witches. And maybe the Wizard will be "non-binary."
The current one is good and wholesome. That’s why the left wants to destroy you it.
It's worth the whole film just to see and hear Judy Garland sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
The wizard will turn the cowardly lion I to a sex slave, and the Tin Man will end up as a vibrator.
well.. then it will fail miserably.
Eventually these morons will remember that making movies in a business and not a social program.
Until they do, they will keep losing money on crap like this.
Except TWOO was written at the turn of the century. It reflected the “trust buster” mindset of the times.
didn’t the left already make an awful leftist trash version of The Wizard of Oz? “The Wiz” ?
“Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”
More Hollyweird money being flushed.
“Buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, ‘cause Kansas is going Bye-Bye!”
