@TVMoJoe @HeyheyDRA Oz was referenced in the Once pilot. If/when we go there is up in the air. But no immediate plans.

This looks good, better then Once at least they will keep the main characters together. Once is getting to the point were they need to drop Snow and David, since we now have Hook, Belle, and Rumble to many people sharing the lime light in my opinion. Snow is my favorite but getting tired of all the new people coming on board if they would have started with say Belle, or Hook it wouldn’t matter to me but they started with Snow White but have lost their direction in my opinion. I am also sick and tired of everyone being related to each other 🙁
CW In Talks For ‘Wizard Of Oz’ Drama
EXCLUSIVE: The summer of Wizard Of Oz continues with another sale of a high-profile Oz-themed drama project. I’ve learned that the CW is in negotiations for Dorothy Must Die, a drama from the Heroes trio of creator/exec producer Tim Kring and exec producers Adam Armus and Nora Kay Foster. Written by Armus and Foster with Kring supervising, I hear the project is based on the upcoming young adult novel Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige. It is a revisionist take on the classic tale set in present day, 80 years after Dorothy Gale supposedly came home. In reality, the magically-ever-youthful Dorothy has stayed in Oz, presiding over a now fascist fairyland with her perfectly manicured iron fist and the help of her henchmen – the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. But when another young woman from Kansas is swept up in a tornado and magically dropped into this war-torn Oz, our hero discovers a revolutionary underground of witches and enchanted beings only to learn that she is destined to lead their people in the fight to reclaim Oz from a power-hungry Dorothy’s ruthless clutches. The book will be published next April, with digital prequel novella, No Place Like Oz, available now.
Dorothy Must Die, which is yet to be laid off at a studio, is the fourth Wizard Of Oz TV project sold in the past two months. It joins NBC drama Emerald City, a dark reimagining of the classic tale of Oz in the vein of Game Of Thrones from writer Matthew Arnold, CBS’ Dorothy, a medical soap inspired by the characters and themes from The Wizard Of Oz, and Syfy’s miniseries Warriors Of Oz from director Timur Bekmambetov, a fantasy-action reimagining of the classic story. The great interest in Wizard Of Oz is not entirely unexpected as the title has been getting a lot of attention in conjunction with the upcoming 75th anniversary of the 1939 feature, which will include a 3D re-release of the Judy Garland starrer. It also comes on the heels of the success of Oz The Great And Powerful earlier this year.

The great interest in Wizard Of Oz properties this year comes on the heels of multiple Sleepy Hollow and Beauty And The Beast projects getting developed the last two development seasons. Both times, one of the projects, CW’s Beauty And The Beast and Fox’s Sleepy Hollow, went to series. In addition to Dorothy Must Die, Kring has another project with a writing duo in the works at the CW, a drama about illegal abilities-enhancing pills in American high schools. Heroes alum Zach Craley and Jarrett Conaway are writing. Kring, who most recently created/exec produced Fox drama Touch, and Armus and Foster, who serve as co-exec producers on Fox’s The Following, are with WME.

Note: I would have started a separate thread but thought it would be easier to keep the OZ stuff together.
@LaurGianni not true
— Adam Horowitz (@AdamHorowitzLA) September 6, 2013
Again I agree with KFC ^—-Nothing would make a person hate you more if you didn’t tell them the truth especially in this case. Hook had a relationship with her boyfriend’s mother.
I wonder if Emma or perhaps Rumble will see that photo of Milah that Bae saw? Emma wouldn’t know that was Rumble’s wife if she did see the photo but Rumble might not be very happy with that photo. Also, Snow and David don’t know the story about Hook and Rumble, I wonder if they will ask?
It does not seem like something you would want to hide either unless you had less than truly honorable intentions in the relationship.
Yea, I kind of wonder that too.
If that is Bae’s sword do you think Hook told Emma the truth including the fact that he was with Bae’s mother? I know Rumble wouldn’t provide that detail to Emma, but Hook I don’t know hmmmm.
