Zemeckis will not Direct Wizard of Oz RemakeJust days ago the word was that the Brothers Warner were offering the job to remake the 1939 Classic The Wizard of Oz was given to Robert Zemeckis, but it turns out that wasn’t at all true. EW has a statement from his representative saying that the director will not be taking on the project. Yes, there was a meeting at Warner Bros. about possible directions for a Wizard of Oz remake, and he was at the top of the wishlist to direct.
But it didn’t matter, because he talked about how he isn’t on the gig. with Sam Raimi and Robert Downey Jr re-imagining the classic from the story of the man who would be Oz, the already repeatedly remade and inspired by classic will be getting exposure already |
