Just noticed this from the main film Wiki page, just wondered what everyone else thinks of this? Are you looking forward to it?

I remember hating Return to Oz when it came out but like others liked it on re run as an adult.

I know they have got someone in mind to play the Wizard which the film is based around but I think the person perfect for the role is Michael Emmerson who played Ben Linus in Lost.

The stories about Oz have been adapted and used as inspiration for films and animation probably dozens of times. I don't see a problem with another one, it's not like the Judy Garland film is the be all and end all.
 
Not to mention that on his first appearence on 'Lost' Ban claimed to have arrived in a balloon (like the Wizard Of Oz) and called himself Henry Gale, the name of Dorothy's unlce.
 
I would have thought doing a film of "Wicked" (which is also a prequel of the story) was a better option, or is that what it will be?

I don't think it is the same story as Wicked although I have heard separately there is a Wicked film being made, I am sure there was a RAB story, this rumoured film is the backstory of the Wizard rather than the Witches.
