OT: Still excited for this although I have no idea what to expect. Also STOP MAKING OZ REMAKES .
Oh gawd, another classic movie remake?! Do people really have such a big problem with slightly outdated special effects? Why the hell does the world need a remake of The Wizard of Oz? Who asked for this, and why aren't they in a nice padded cell somewhere far from society?
Maybe I missed something here, but how is "Wizard of Oz" in anyway a follow-up to a reimagined Alice in Wonderland? They are not by the same author, have the same characters, or even a shared setting...Don't get me wrong I'd likw to see a redone Oz (you know, besides the near obligatory oz episode from every cartoon or kids show EVER...) But I hope if its going to be a follow-up to the original film's story, they'll take a look at the actual book series that continued Oz's stories even before the film (At least I think thats the order they were written, though I may very well be wrong). But instead of calling it a follow-up to Alice, they could just have been accurate and said, "we needed a big movie to attach to our proposal to get this greenlighted, because pre-production alone is going to be a a s**tload of fun, because we HAVE to have flying monkeys...and by god we're almost there, we're at step RAGE MONKEY (cookie for those who get the reference and remember the Lets play this was from....so please guess wrong, for I am currently hungry and would rather hoard these treats 
)
But like I was saying, as long as the film doesn't actually try to go from Miller's the wizard of Oz to Carrols great drug fantasy "Through the Looking Glass"....they could still be doing something original instead...come on Disney, Pirates, awesome as it was, HAD to guarentee you have run out of rides to turn sloppily into films, right? Leave the remakes of classic movies to the cartoons...

By the way, just how long now has Blizzard been saying this movie is "in the works" or talking to directors? If you actually have a dang script ready to go, make someone sign a contract...then they can't walk off to do some other movie. And really, no one here believes Blizzard doesn't know how to use the law...how many lawsuits have they pursued? And if you guys don't have a script or anything developed for this film you've been touting so long blizzard, don't bring it up again until you do...don't make fans like us have to lose respect for you guys based on what increasingly seems to be the equivalent of jangling your keys.
NO! NO NO NO NO NO!
Enough with remakes, bad sequels, and bad prequels. Make something ORIGINAL!
That goes double for you George Lucas!

I think I can wait for a Warcraft movie.
Remember, kids, Movies Based On Video Games Always Suck. Even if Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are involved, dimes to dollars it's gonna suck. Nothing against them, it's just games have a horrible, horrible transition into movies.

You know, when they finally release the WoW film, there's going to be a helluva lot of complaints from all the classes that weren't the main character.
Fun time ahead.

Truthfully, WoW movie sounds interesting, that's if your a gaming nerd, but what would they continue it off of? The fall of a prince? The death of a king? The birth of a hero? Or turn to a more political story? Who knows all I care about is weather they make the movie or not.
I'm slightly disappointed. I was looking forward to seeing the movie adaptation for Warcraft.
Wizard of Oz? The Film industry is pulling at straws. They haven't had any new movie ideas in ages.
