A Wizard of Oz remake is in the works at New Line Cinema.
Nicole Kassell is directing the film, an adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s beloved book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Baum’s story has been retold on the big and small screen many times over the years; the most memorable being the classic 1939 musical starring Judy Garland.

This may be true, but when you look harder, it can be an inversion of the proverb where the bad apples in the barrel can spoil the apple that it surrounds. Nothing could be closer to this than Killer Therapy, a film produced by Rellik and distributed by 4Digital Media where a child’s development grows out of control as nurture triumphs over nature.
