Dakota Fanning: heads for the yellow brick road?

Young actress Dakota Fanning is in the running to play the well-loved character of Dorothy in the remake of the classsic The Wizard of Oz.

Exactly 70 years after the 1939 movie launched the career of the legendary Judy Garland, Warner Bros has announced its plans for a remake of the classic tale. The remake, a branchild of producer Basil Iawnyck, will be darker and more action packed.

“It will be set in the present day and feature Dorothy’s granddaughter.”

“You’ve still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she’s much closer to the Ripley character from Alien [Sigourney Weaver] than a helpless singing girl.”
