Aintitcool is posting that French filmmaker John Boorman (The Exorcist II) is creating a CG animated retelling of Frank Baum's classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I don't really know enough about Boorman's work to guess what his take on the story would be. The filmmaker is supposedly going back to the original source material, which is a potential gold mine from an artistic and storytelling standpoint. Remakes tend to be disappointing, but this artistic snob has to admit some of the concept art is intriguing, like the above image of the Witch's castle.
No word if this film will be created using mo-cap or traditional animation.
