I’m a huge fan of The Wizard of Oz, mainly the Judy Garland version. I have watched quite a bit of films and shows based on the Victor Fleming tale such as The Wiz, The Muppets Wizard of Oz, Oz the Great and Powerful, and Tin Man. All are quite different from the original story and the 1939 film but I liked them all for the most part. The Steam Engines of Oz is another different adaptation and it isn’t the fairytale that you are used to.
Based off the graphic novel of the same name, years after Dorothy changed Oz with the click of her heels, a young engineer named Victoria joins forces with scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion’s son, and the industrious munchkins, to stop the Tin-Man from destroying Oz with industry and mechanization.

How is it that Craig Brewer, the "gritty" director of Hustle & Flow and Black Snake Moan get reduced to directing a remake of Footloose? Oh, yeah: I know! I know! Pick me, pick me! It's because the mediocrity of Hustle & Flow was obscured by a remarkable performance from Terrence Howard and a brilliant soundtrack. And Black Snake Moan was just a terrible fucking misogynistic movie that exploited cheap and easy Southern stereotypes.
And that, folks, is why Craig Brewer is not just directing a remake of Footloose, but a remake that isn't even worthy of Zac Efron and Chace Crawford (both of whom dropped out). Instead, they get Kenny Wormald in the lead. Who? Exactly.
And here's an image from the set, tweeted by Mr. Brewer yesterday, featuring the guy taking over Kevin Bacon's role and Julian Hough (again, who?) as the love interest. Let's all cut footloose right...
