Directed by Sam Rami / Starring Johnny Depp

Robert Downy Jr. Quits as Lead Role

Mila Kunis Picked to Play Wicked Witch

Really?

(And, concerning the ridiculous idea of a WoO remake as well; Zemeckis apparently is not taking up the project. It doesn't mean a remake isn't still in store, though. WTF, man. W-T-FUCKING-F.

)

"Hollywood production budgeted at $105 million was approved for a $40 million tax credit."

But aside from that...WTF? They should have gotten Tim Burton to wreck this one to while they're at it. If you're going to do some effed up stuff, you might as well go all out. Where's my prequel to Beetle Juice? Where's my Prequel to any movie that was made when I was alive? Why don't they just make fantasy movie, and not relate it to something else? Ugh...thanks for the news.

Okay, this tops horrible movie changes since Spielberg went and edited out the guns in ET, changing them out for walkie talkies to cheer up then heartbroken Drew Barrymore after her divorce from Tom Green.
