Is it time for Hollywood to remake the Wizard of Oz?
Question by Fish: Is it time for Hollywood to remake the Wizard of Oz?
I don’t ask this question for the sake of making a remake, because mainy will agree the original is an ultimate classic, but it was made in 1939 and within that time technology has improved more than anyone could imagine. However, it is the technology aspect that i personally think they should make a modern version, because imagine if ‘they’ used the same technology that was used in Avatar, surely it would be even more mind blowing than Avatar.
Like i said earlier i don’t think they should make a remake for the sake of it, but if they took there time made it a long term project and used the most up to date technology, surely it could be the greatest film ever made.
I should also note that the interest in the franchise might increase in 2011 with a new version of the musical opening in London’s west end.
What do you think? Should a remake be made (and generate a new wave of fans using movie making methods that young people have a connection with) or just let it be and make young people watch a film they have no connection with because it’s no where near of the same quality as they are used to?
(p.s. I should point out im not a W.o.O fan. I’m just a movie fan)
