This idea has been stewing in my head for a while.

It is the perfect mix of fun kids movie and creepy-as-all-get-out horror.

I can see it now…

A young girl on a long journey learns the value of true friendship and the importance of a place to call home. From the creator of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory comes an adventure over the rainbow:

-OR-

From the mind that brought us Edward Scissorhands, A Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow and Big Fish comes a tale so terrifying, it’ll leave you wanting to be no place but home:

The Wizard of Oz.

Starring:
Christina Ricci as Dorothy.
Johnny Depp as the Tin Man.
Adrian Brody as the Scarecrow.
Joaquin Phoenix as the Cowardly Lion.
and Helena Bonham-Carter as the Wicked Witch of the West.
