ROBERT DOWNEY IN THE PREQUEL TO THE WIZARD OF OZ?




Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr is reportedly set to play the lead in a prequel to ‘Wizard of Oz’.

The original 1939 movie, starring Judy Garland, became a cinematic classic, while another film based on L. Frank Baum’s books, ‘Return To Oz’, was released by Disney in 1985.

The movie-makers are preparing to return to the big screen in a new picture, titled ‘Oz The Great and Powerful’.
The film will be a prequel to the Garland movie, based on Baum’s work, and will tell the story of a young circus magician who ends up ruler of the magical country after crash-landing there in a hot air balloon, reports dailystar.co.uk.


Filmmaker Sam Mendes is in talks to direct the picture.
