>Dorothy & Alice. From Netflix. Should it be live action or animation?
(Pic Not Related.)
>Netflix has tapped up-and-coming screenwriter Anna Klassen (When Lightning Strikes) to write Dorothy and Alice, which follows the fantastical friendship between two of literature’s most iconic characters — Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, and Alice from Alice in Wonderland.
>The original script found Dorothy Gale haunted by nightmares of Oz’s impending destruction. Sent to a home for others like her who experience troubling, vivid dreams, she soon befriends Alice, a mysterious girl who involves her in a perilous quest to not only save the worlds of imagination, but the world as we know it. However, Collider has learned that the plot has changed since the announcement about the initial spec sale, as Netflix and Unkeless want Klassen to take the project in a different direction, which, naturally, is being kept under wraps.
>Klassen is a former entertainment journalist who worked at Bustle, Newsweek, The Daily Beast and BuzzFeed. She was able to leave her job to pursue screenwriting full time after her cleverly-titled J.K. Rowling biopic When Lightning Strikes was voted to the 2017 Black List and the 2017 Hit List. The unauthorized script chronicles the true story of 25-year-old Joanne Rowling as she weathers first loves, unexpected pregnancies, lost jobs, and depression on her journey to create Harry Potter. Talk about a juicy role for an A-list actress! Klassen’s script earned her numerous meetings around town, and clearly, she won over executives at Netflix, where she is developing a second project as well. She’s represented by manager Bash Naran at Write Large and an all-female team of agents at WME.

I love Oz stuff so I'm interested in this. Watch it be shit though since no one has ever managed to make a proper adaptation of the book(s).
Mason Evans
Hopefully there is no influence from Lost Girls.
Gabriel Miller
Preteen girls usually experiment at that age, so yes.
Oliver Price
>my two earliest childhood crushes are going to get paired up in a series together
They damn well better!
Samuel Anderson
No, they will have a harem of handsome boys to drool over.

It's been a minute since I saw Alice in Wonderland, does she have a leitmotif like Over the Rainbow?
Definitely an animation. Dorothy is so firmly associated with Judy Garland and it's always tough to re-cast that kind of role with a new face. I'd much prefer to see some animator's take on the character. And besides, Animated Alice a cute.
And Judy Garland was a massive lesbian, so if they make Dorothy gay, that's already one minority checkbox checked.
Zachary Watson
But she wasn’t, she was a gay icon but she herself loved the D

I once heard some say Alice in wonderland is technically an isekai, So I assume the same would apply to The wizard of OZ. Anyways what's the best version of alice and what's the best version of dorothy out side the original books in your opinion?
No but since it's a Netflix show they'll both fuck black guys by the third episode.
Kayden Walker
Actually sounds really good!

Wonderland is a legit just make believe world. Oz is an entire land hidden by magic that Dorothy and her Aunt and Uncle moved to at one point. Lumping them together is absolutely disrespectful to the living beings in Oz. Neverland and Slumberland are closer to Wonderland that Oz is to any. This is propaganda following the steps of the MGM continuity's coattails. Bet those fuckers are making the Wivked Witch. Of the the West green with two eyes and Dorothy's shoes red too.
