Video game creator American McGee, who most recently brought a twisted retelling of "Alice in Wonderland" to gamers, has turned his imagination on The Wizard of Oz, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Walt Disney Pictures have optioned the movie rights already, and other media deals are either signed or pending. There"s no time frame for the first film of what will be a trilogy, McGee said, but screenwriters Kevin and Dan Hageman are attached.
McGee said games, books and other projects featuring his unique vision of "Oz" also are being developed.
