| zarx said: I don't think this movie is meant to have any connection with the old movie, comming from a different studio and all, besides the movie was already quite different from the book. I belive that this movie is bassed on the non cannonical (written posthumously, different author) Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which is already a prequel, so I guess that in a way this is an original adaption. |
Well it isn't given a citation, but wikipedia suggests otherwise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oz:_The_Great_and_Powerful
"The film, adapted from L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is intended as a prequel to the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz."
I am aware that it may not be accurate, but I don't have the patience to go looking for confirmation or refutation of the claim, given that it's not something I care enough about (I'd rather forget that this film exists).
