A Wicked Gallery of Wizard of Oz Fan Art
The Wizard of Oz has been on my mind recently for two reasons. For one, I was talking with some co-workers at happy hour about the whole Dark Side of the Moon syncing up with the movie thing (it sort of works for a bit, actually). The second is that I recently read that Sam Raimi is set to direct a prequel to the movie.
Honestly, I’m not quite sure how I feel about that. I don’t hold The Wizard of Oz to be some holy, untouchable movie that can never be reinterpreted, and I think Return to Oz is actually a really good sequel. But a prequel? Will it be a musical? Will it be based on “Wicked?” I have some faith in Raimi; I just hope it doesn’t get the Tim-Burton-on-Alice-In-Wonderland treatment.
Anyway, take a look at some artists’ interpretations of Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and other Oz characters in the gallery below.
