Distressing news....(not really important)

Ihave a sad thing to report. This is a direct quote from American McGee's website:

"Oz Film
Oz film rights have been optioned by Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney Films. Development has begun. No further info is available at this time."

i found it on his FAQ last night:
http://www.americanmcgee.com/blosxom.cgi/faq/

How much does that suck? We finally get a shot at a movie that might be like the game Alice, and its going to be made by Herry Bruckheimer and Disney?!?!


Just sad.....

Could've been one of the creepiest movies of all time. Sad indeed.

The whole lookk and feel they made with alice just begs for gore... I am not a huge gore fan, but if it is called for, it needs to be there.

plus, it is supposed to be DARK. Alice was a tragic game, and i am sure Oz will be too. A movie made from them should be too.

I guess it depends on the procuction team in question, but it's not as though it's not in Disney to churn out decent films...they HAVE put out some films I like...
The black cauldron
Spy Kids
Fantasia
Return to Oz
Holes
Pinocchio
Hocus pocus
Pirates Of The Caribbean
Legend of sleepy hollow
James and the giant peach
Nightmare before christmas

I dunno about Jerry tho...I suppose he's done a few decent shows, but yeah, this pretty much says the film is never gonna be as dark as it could/should be.
