AncalagonTheBlack Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Here's the first trailer for NBC's modern Wizard of Oz series Emerald City.The first two episodes will debut on Jan. 6 on NBC. Quote NBC has been pushing back Emerald City — a modern (and darker) reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s classic Wizard of Oz tale — for a while now, but the series will soon be here and the first trailer has finally arrived. And yep, we’re definitely not in Kansas anymore. The 10-episode event series from visionary director Tarsem Singh (The Fall, Immortals) stars Adria Arjona (Person of Interest) as a thoroughly-modern Dorothy Gale and Daredevil’s Vincent D’Onofrio (who’s almost unrecognizable in the role, what with the full head of dark hair and beard) as The Wizard. Oliver Jackson-Cohen (A World Without End, The Raven) plays the show’s hunky version of the Scarecrow (Dorothy finds him on a cross covered in dirt and straw) named Lucas. Emerald City also features new takes on the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man and basically just about every Oz characters. Even Toto got a makover. In the blink of a tornado's eye, 20-year-old Dorothy Gale and a K9 police dog are swept into a world far removed from our own - a mystical land of competing realms, lethal warriors, dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy. Starring Vincent D'Onofrio (Daredevil, Jurassic World) as the guileful Wizard and directed by the visionary Tarsem Singh across three European countries, this is Oz completely reimagined - a place where familiar characters show up in fresh, unexpected ways, and where an unsuspecting young woman holds the fate of kingdoms in her hands. And as Dorothy navigates this dangerous world and uncovers her true destiny, we'll see there's no place like... Oz.

polishgenius Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Well, it's going to look amazing, anyway. Immortals doesn't sell me on Singh's ability to actually do story though. Although I'm yet to see The Fall which has better reviews on that score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Looks nice, but if it's all a dream, who gives a shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetyrPunkinhead Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 This looks a lot more interesting than I expected. I'll show up to check out the first episode for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel4s-JonSnow Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I have a real love hate relationship with Tarsem. The guy makes movies that if you take a screenshot of them, they are beautiful, amazingly beautiful. But the guy should never move out of filming perfume adverts. He has no idea how to tell a story or give a sense of scale to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
