Oz Wars

12/15/10 – Variety reported that Vanguard Films has tapped Mike Johnson to helm its CG/stop-motion feature Oz Wars.  Script, written by Rob Moreland and Athena Gam, is a transformation of the Oz narrative, with Dorothy caught up in a whirlwind of warrior witches, black magic, martial arts and monsters against a contemporary backdrop.  "Oz Wars is an animated action-adventure story, but unlike most animated films, it's not just for kids," Johnson said. "The Land of Oz will be reimagined using stop-motion to create a world that's dark, slick, sexy and dangerous."
