from the director of The Woodsman, but she also directed episodes of: The Americans, Better Call Saul, The Leftovers, Watchmen, etc.

Will it finally be more faithful to the book, instead of riding the Garland movie's fame?

I liked the Watchmen, the graphic novel, the movie and the show.

I don't really know what they'll get out of rebooting one of the most prolific movies of all time though.

I don't remember reading anything about Dorothy's sexual orientation in the Baum books, especially as how once she lives in Oz permanently she stops aging

It's also funny how in some ways Turkish Wizard of Oz was more faithful to the book than the 1939 version.

I'm not familiar with the books, but that's really interesting, tbh.
