Oz Casting News

Thanks for posting that article, Dr. Bombay!

As much as I love and as much as i'd want to see him have bigger roles in all the new movies I don't think he'd make a good Toto.

Before reaching Oz I suspect it's going to be quite boring without the Muppets and Pepe will be one of the only Muppets in the real world and I don't think Rowlf alone has that ability to make us laugh and entertain us as Pepe would.

So yes I do want to see Rowlf have a big part in this movie but not as Toto, I think Pepe is the ideal character to play that part but I do want some Rowlf in this movie.

My sentiments, exactly.

If Eric can do Piggy and Fozzie, why can't Steve do Rizzo and Kermit?

You're forgetting something... how often are the Wicked Witch and the Cowardly Lion in a scene together? Not until the end. Then, how many scenes are the Scarecrow and Toto in together? Almost all of them. It just wouldn't work very well.

Yea but I don't think that's really a problem, I mean Rowlf & Kermit were together alot in TMM aswell as Piggy & Fozzie, in TMTM Animal, Piggy & Fozzie were together quite a bit aswell as Rowlf, Kermit & Dr.Teeth and Janice & Scooter. So I don't think having Rizzo & Kermit together would be a real problem.

Actually, the Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man are all different incarnations of three farm hands in Kansas, so they would be in the movie before Dorothy and Toto go to Oz.

Actually, there were no farm-hands in the book; acccording to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum, it goes straight from her gray prairie life to the colorful world of Oz...no being knocked-out or anything. According to the book Dorothy actually went to the Land of Oz and then came home; the 1939 movie added the whole dream sequence and farmhands and is not correct to the book--my suggestion is to read the book.

There's at least 40 books in the actual Oz series, I think 14 by Baum, and more by Ruth Plumley Thompson.

Sorry, my observations have only been based off of the movie.
