As you can see from my post I think the upcoming movie that Drew Barrymore is doing called Surrender Dorthy has lal the potentional to be a disaster. Dont get me wrong it could be great but what I want to know is why dont they adapt one of the best Oz books out there that is not The Wizard of Oz.
The book is called Wicked:The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch off the West by Gregory Maguire.
As you can tell by the title it is a mock biography og the Wicked Witch of the West which by the way her name is Elphaba. It follows four time persiods: her childhood with her psychotic parents, her college days with her roomate Glenda the Good Witch, her politcial activism days, and he eventual run in with Dorthy. The way the author turns Oz on its hea d is fascinating. The Wizard is aking to Hitler, the witch is misunderstood and Glenda is a social climbing bitch.
It also has some great idea on the nature of good and eveil. This is fantastic book read it and somebodu should adapt it.
