We’re Off To See The Wizard…Again!
December 25, 2009 by Gay Agenda News Team · Leave a Comment
It’s not a yellow brick road, but Dorothy and her friends are living a new adventure on the pavement of Bank Street.
The past two weeks have brought an unusual amount of nighttime activity — lights and cameras and fog machine, oh my — to downtown Bridgeport, where a film production crew is shooting a “Wizard of Oz” spin-off supposedly set in Manhattan.
In a part of the city where streets are usually deserted after nightfall, “The Witches of Oz” has brought to life flying monkeys, a screaming wicked witch and a grown-up Dorothy during the filming of some of its most dramatic climax moments.
Saturday night will be the crew’s last night filming in the city for this month, before they take a Christmas break and return for one day in January, then move on to other spots in the state, including Norwalk and Easton, said Director Leigh Scott. They have already filmed a bit in Norwalk and Stamford.
Scott said he’s “called in a lot of favors” to make the low-budget movie with some well-known actors he’d worked with before, including Christopher Lloyd, Billy Boyd and Lance Henriksen. He’s hoping for a small theater release in late spring or early summer 2010.

The movie about Michael Jackson’s final months will run in theaters worldwide for only two weeks starting on Oct. 28, according to Sony Pictures.
The feature-length film — titled This Is It — will feature rehearsal footage from a planned series of London comeback concerts as well as videos from the “This Is It” shows shot in the days before the King of Pop’s June 25 death.
Tickets for the flick go on sale Sept. 27, Sony stated in a news release Thursday.
“Audiences will be given a privileged and private look at the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, and genius as he creates and perfects his final show,” Sony said.
It will also offer select sequences in 3-D and feature interviews with some of Jackson’s closest friends and creative collaborators.

What if the Russians attacked the U.S.? What if Rob Schneider was our last hope? What if he was naked? I’ll tell you what — a naked, frolicking good time is what happens!
Rob Schneider, Mena Suvari, and Vinnie Jones star in a raw and uncut remake of Red Dawn. Only this isn’t Colorado and these aren’t high-schoolers. This time the battle has traveled a little farther south than the heartland and landed right in America’s crotch. Witness Naked Dawn!
