The next classic movie that's getting a remake is The Wizard of Oz. It was previously revealed that Kenya Barris is writing and directing a new take on the classic story for Warner Bros., and in a new interview with Jimmy Fallon for The Tonight Show, the filmmaker opened up about the project.
In 1938, when Garland was sixteen, she was cast as the young Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz (1939), a film based on the 1900 children's book by L. Frank Baum. In the film, she sang the song with which she would be constantly identified afterward, "Over the Rainbow".
Glinda then ordered the winged monkeys to carry Dorothy's companions back to their new homes in Oz after Dorothy's departure, and then to simply cease to bother people and not play pranks on them anymore. She then gave the winged monkeys the cap as their own, breaking the curse and setting them free.
Although typically-inflated studio publicity later claimed there were thirty-six “on-screen” Winged Monkeys, only a dozen or so men actually performed in those classic (and classically chilling) WIZARD OF OZ roles.
Who do the flying monkeys in Wizard of Oz represent?
Winged Monkeys. According to some writers, the Winged Monkeys of Oz represent Native Americans in the West in the late 1800s. Baum himself had clear attitudes toward American Indians and some of his earlier writings about Indians are very similar to his descriptions of the Winged Monkeys found in Oz.
For her contribution to The Wizard Oz (1939), Terry the dog (Toto) earned $125 per week, while the actors playing the Munchkins were given just $50 a week.
In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy was played by Judy Garland, who received an Academy Juvenile Award for her performance. Since she was sixteen years old at the time of filming, Garland's maturing figure was bound into a figure-hiding corset.
The Wizard of Oz was filmed entirely on stages at MGM's Culver City studio at 10202 Washington Boulevard. The studio still stands today and offers visitors a look behind the curtains to see where the magic happened, as part of the Sony Pictures Studio Tour.
W. C. Fields was originally chosen for the title role of the Wizard (after Ed Wynn turned it down, considering the part "too small"), but the studio couldn't meet Fields' fee. Wallace Beery lobbied for the role, but the studio refused to spare him during the long shooting schedule.
What happened to the cast of Wizard of Oz while filming?
The pipe, fitted to look like a broomstick, exploded during filming, sending Danko to the hospital for 11 days and scarring her legs permanently. Additionally, Margaret Hamilton's copper-based makeup was highly toxic and her green complexion took months to fade.
There's the famous 1939 film starring Judy Garland, which arguably eclipsed the original books, but there's also the 1978 reimagining The Wiz starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, the blockbuster musical Wicked, based on the 1995 book of the same name by Gregory Maguire, Return to Oz (1985), an unofficial sequel to ...
The cast will feature Jason Manford playing The Cowardly Lion and Ashley Banjo as The Tin Man with Gary Wilmot in the title role of the Wizard. They'll be joined by Georgina Onuorah as Dorothy, Dianne Pilkington as Wicked Witch of the West, Louis Gaunt as The Scarecrow and Christina Bianco as Glinda The Good Witch.
Glinda the Good stepped down from her ruby throne to give the little girl a good-bye kiss, and Dorothy thanked her for all the kindness she had shown to her friends and herself.
Jack Haley was a movie and vaudeville actor who is always remembered as the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz (1939). The Tin Man role was originally was going to Buddy Ebsen, but due to allergic reaction from the aluminum powder makeup, Ebsen was taken out of the casting and Haley replaced him.
