Contest Directions:  Dakota Fanning will star in the Wizard of Oz sequel. She will step into the Oz shoes of Dorothy’s granddaughter who will replace Dorothy in the new Oz plot.
While the Wizard of Oz sequel will still follow the general story of the original Wizard of Oz, the new Oz will be slightly more action packed and darker, according to a Warner Brothers executive. As reported, Wizard of Oz sequel co-producer Todd McFarlane revealed, "You’ve still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she’s much closer to the Ripley character from Alien [Sigourney Weaver] than a helpless singing girl."
So Warners tells us the new Oz be "darker and more action-packed" than the original 1939 musical. Let's help the studio create The Wizard of Oz sequel, by photoshopping it any way you wish.

| | This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” – a novel by American writer Lyman Frank Baum. The narration of Alexander Volkov “The Wizard of Emerald City”, published under his name is very popular in the Soviet Union.
The novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was published in 1900.
Interpretation:
The work is considered to be a sample of political satire: specific historical characters are guessed behind the mask of the scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. The author disguised the gold in an image of the “Yellow Brick Road”, leading to the Emerald City. The specialty of the Oz capital is that all its inhabitants wore green spectacles, because they believed that the city walls are built with precious stones. The power of the Great Goodwin is supported particularly by this belief.
The screen version of the novel "The Wizard of Oz" was made in 1939. The film bagged two “Oscar” awards.
Plot:
The girl Dorothy and doggie Toto are carried away by a cyclone along with her house to the fairyland Oz. There, she becomes the owner of magical shoes, which the wicked witch wants to snatch. Dorothy, doggie Toto and her new friends – the wise scarecrow, the tin woodman and cowardly Lion go along the “Yellow Brick Road” to Emerald City to ask the all-powerful wizard to help them get back home and for the friends to fulfill their treasured desires.
