Big news on a totally different Oz movie coming up. Spill just posted a blog about Dakota Fanning being casted in an upcoming live-action movie sequal to the original Wizard Of Oz movie. In the report(see the original report)Fanning is supposed to Dorothy's modern day granddaughter. This is being produced by Todd McFarlane(creator of Spawn), but whether this has any relation to his Twisted Land Of Oz line of action figures from a few years ago is unknown.
This would make for the 4th movie in planning inspired by the Oz books. One is Dark Oz based on the comic book series from the 90s. Another is Dorothy Of Oz based on the book by Roger S. Baum(great-grandson of the original author). The other is an all CGI-animated movie by Action Synthese which is a present day remake of Wizard Of Oz.

Hi. The Marvel series will be done by the same team for Marvelous Land Of Oz as they are doing for Wonderful Of Oz. If you mean the graphic novels that Hungry Tiger Press did, they're still in print of Land Of Oz, Ozma Of Oz, andEmerald City Of Oz, even though they were printerd originally sometime in the early 1920s or 1930s.
