Welcome To The O.Z., Bitch!! TIN MAN Trailer Hits YouTube!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
“Tin Man” is a SciFi miniseries, loosely based on Lyman Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” from the veteran TV writing team of Craig W. Van Sickle and Steven Long Mitchell (“The Pretender,” “She Spies”).
It’s about a Kansas girl named “DG” who finds herself transported to a surreal and dangerous alternate dimension called “The Outer Zone.” It stars Zooey Deschanel as “DG,” Neal McDonough as titular character “Cain,” Alan Cumming as the brain-deficient “Glitch,” Raul Trujillo as the hairy telepath “Raw,” Kathleen Robertson as the wicked “Azkadellia,” and Richard Dreyfuss as the great and powerful “Mystic Man.”

“Tin Man” hits the SciFi channel in December.

I'll check out zooey

A small, meaningless, sad little victory. But a victory nonetheless....It's been a rough week, okay?
-
Mr. Baum is doing pirouettes in his grave.
-
Been meaning to get around to it by December.
-
For a dream music AGAIN! First in a rap song, then in every movie trailer, not a sci fi tv show trailer. I hope Clint is getting paid.
-
Though why does every trailer nowadays make ACTUALLY VIEWING something irrelevant? Did they leave any surprises? Regardless, Zooey and
Alan Cummings have got my ass in the seat. -
just in the trailer! Just call it Oz for frak's sake.will probably just FF to all Zooey appearances...
-
anybody noticing how much the music (or closely copied variant thereof) from Bourne Ultimatum/Supremacy/Identity is showing up all over the place? It was in Chuck last week, and a couple of other places in the last couple weeks that I just can't recall now.....
-
I think this could be a good prog. It has talented actors in it. It also has talented people behind the scenes. So why are they seemingly giving all the marketing jobs to the college student there on work experience?
-
Let him throw the mighty shield!
-
I'm afraid this is going to be uber cheesy. "D.G." Sounds like a horrible attempt to hip it up. I'll probably watch, though, cuz, why not?

I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL..... Mystic Man?
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
What the FUCK is going on with those shitty names?
-
I think it looks great... I will watch...
-
...as doing so strips all of the hope out of me that this could be a creative and fresh adaptation.
-
Definitely no thanks.
-
Only worthwhile part of HHGTTG was her. She makes me warm.
-
*cues music* and yes zooey D. is as dreamy as they come.
Matthew Mcconoughy for Capt. America (why not everyone else seems to think pitt could do it) -
so why is it called that? will the story focus on him mostly or something? because the trailer sure doesnt indicate as much.. or did they just wanna use a different title than the book and couldnt think of anything better?
-
Wizard of Oz In Name Only.
-
??!?
-
Why Zooey? Why?
-
the Flash Gordon talkback, as Flash Gordon is listed in red at the end.
-
That alone ruined the trailer for me. He should do a "Son of the Mask" sequel.
-
so whose the dam tin man.!?! i wasnt paying that much attention with all the o.z talk in the trailer.
-
It's really sad when guys who are over 40 try to write something "hip," "edgy" and "extreme." The "O.Z."? Please.
-
Neal McDonough would make a good Duke for G.I. Joe... but the way that project seems to be going, I'm not sure I want them to make such a smart decision. And yeah... calling it "The O.Z." is retarded.
-
I can't believe that's seriously a show.
-
In this version, when they get to the Emerald City, Schillinger shanks Tin Man and makes the scarecrow his prag.
-
And I love OZ stuff. I shake my head at you, TIN MAN.
-
i want to give this a chance...i really do..but this looks pretty crapy.
-
because they couldn't get the rights to the comic book series "The Oz Squad" because that was pretty cool. So was the synthesizer concept album "The Wozard of Iz" So were Eric Shanhower's beautifully illustrated Oz graphic novels. And Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's "Lost Girls" with Dorothy, Alice and Wendy. Not to mention The Wiz. And Star Wars. (Picture Chewie as the Lion and C3PO as the tin Man, with Luke singing "we're off to see Darth Vader..."). Sure, updating OZ might be a fun idea, but really, it's kinda been done.
-
What? Yes, I checked out the trailer. so if the iron Man movie trailer used the Black Sabbath song, why didn't this have "Tin Man" by America? "No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Oh, right, first they'd have to translate it into English from Gibberish.
-
"No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man that he didn't, didn't already have. And cause never was the reason for the evening and the tropic of Sir Galahad." Oh, that's right, first they've have to translate it into English from Gibberish.
-
with Fairuza was the best version.
-
Dammit.
-
it doesn't seem ass-rapingly bad straight of the bat.
but i'm pretty sure it will be once you start watching it.
-
...The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch by Gregory Maguire - excellent novel made into highly successful Broadway musical and ultimately the inevitable film adaptation will be announced (if it hasn't already)... and of course there is Todd McFarlane's Twisted Land of Oz line of naughty toys... also with a planned film adaptation. So yes, Napoleon you are more than right, this is a dead horse of many colours that has no one seems to ever stop beating...
-
I left in a superfluous "has" in my last post... like some kind of Lollion "I can has courajj?"
-
That Sci Fi Channel Miniseries looks like a Sci Fi Channel Miniseries.
-
Is awesome in my book. All Hail the O.Z.
-
theatrical releases of the rest of the Oz books. They can keep the original film as the first book and then release the Land of Oz. Fantasy films are making a comeback and here you have one of the most recognizable fantasy franchises ever, and no one is taking advantage except for The Sci-Fi Channel.
-
...and my post. EVERYBODY has been taking advantage!!! Poor Dorothy's been about as well used as Madonna!
-
Hmmmmm? Not convinced.
-
Looking out for number 1
California here we come
Right back where we started fro-om
CALIFOOOORNYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HERE WE COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!! -
would be the main character. heard of appointment tv? this is disappointment tv.
-
when he signed up to do this shit?? The Mystic man???
-
It could be argued there's a precedent.
From what I heard, L. Frank Baum himself came up with the name 'Oz' from the alphabetical label O-Z on his filing cabinet.
That said, 'the O-Z' should never ever EVER have been uttered. Not once.
-
shark
-
tin man was once human, look him up wiki
-
the character looks look uninspired, the cgi looks bland, the "lost in oz" show that never got aired was deffinately a better approach. i realize people who think it looks good are really stretching to find something good about this because they want a good adaption of these books done for the modern era, in a series that they can look forward to for a while, but if you step back and forget your "girlfriend" zooey is in it, or whatever other reason you're holding onto it so dealy, and take a good look, you'll realize it isn't.
-
tinman is much cooler and creepier.
-
http://tinyurl.com/2xnuxa weird. that show was fun.
-
That they'll keep using names slightly different from the real ones? Its very jarring and could get annoying. Otherwise looks pretty good.
-
What will start off with promise will be rediculously slow, poorly shot and edited, but the costumes and actors will look great. Typical of virtually all of SciFI's huge multi-night endeavors.
-
No words. They should have sent a poet.
-
The show isn't actually called "The O.Z.". That was a clever headline. The title is Tin Man.
-
I'm talking about is expanding the story, not just rehashing the first book. L. Frank Baum wrote something like fifteen books, not all of them starring Dorothy, and I'm sure someone can figure a way to get them right on screen, much like Return to Oz. It would be like people making different versions of the first Harry Potter film and ignoring the sequels.
-
was supposed to produce a Wizard of Oz show? I could have sworn I heard these rumors years ago. I wonder what happened. If I remember correctly they were supposed to be closer to the books.
-
"the O.Z." = "the OC"

In the books, the origins of the character are rather gruesome. Originally an ordinary man by the name of Nick Chopper.
, the Tin Woodman used to make his living chopping down trees in the forests of Oz. The Wicked Witch of the East enchanted his axe to prevent him from marrying the girl that he loved.
The enchanted axe chopped off his limbs, one by one. Each time he lost a limb, Nick Chopper replaced it with a prosthetic limb made of tin. Finally, nothing was left of him but tin. loooks like they'll use the "unable to feel love" staple, i.e.; reese in the terminator logan in xmen. marv, and to a lesser extent, leeloo from 5th element. -
"looks like they'll use the "unable to feel love" staple." as opposed to the robot concept that they could have done.
-
And you know, maybe actually has a man made of tin in it. Jesus, this looks horrible.
-
Has never been in anything good. He is the kiss of death.
-
save OZ from the fly'n Monkeys? -TS
-
This doesn't look nearly gay enough. We all know that The Wizard of Oz is a critique of masculinity and assertion of archetypal female power. What? You didn't? Well, neither do the people who made this crap, apparently. They should have hired a drag queen as a consultant.
-
in "What About Bob", but that's about it. Not a very good batting average.
-
...yes, the title is not The O.Z.--but if you watch the clip, they use that phrasing.
Really stupid phrasing.Are you down with the O.Z.?I'm not. -
....he already has the clock and metal hat, and can say "the O.Zeeee, boieeeeeeee!"
-
Close Encounters and Jaws
Two great movies that are fixtures of great 70's cinema. -
...this is why we've never seen The Land of Oz... in which the hero is basically a male to female transsexual...
-
...by hen's eggs... symbolic of whithered patriarchy being overcome by the most basic form of female fertility... It just goes on and on... Males are weak and ineffectual in the Oz books, females both Good and Evil are uber-powerful...
-
... and attempt to be male, Tip and Jinjur both in the Land of Oz for example... do they become ridiculous and are defeated by mice...
-
..."A storm is coming..." Give me a fucking BREAK! That is one lazy-ass overused line. This Tin Man looks...average. Also, maybe I missed a token, but are there no black people in the O.Z.? Or is the Wizard just a front for white supremacists?
-
Dreyfus has never been good in anything ?
Huhuh. I guess this means you've never seen American Graffiti, Jaws, Close Encounters, The Goodbye Girl, Down and Out In Beverly Hills, Tin Men, Stake Out, Always, What About Bob, Lost In Yonkers. I bet there are more films in which he was great. -
... but i forget already. anyway he should of been a lion man, and the scarecrow should actually look like one (without all the martial arts), and i hope the tin man aint an android but a man turns into one after falling in love with that midget. this re-imaginaing isn't what i would imagine. it looks more like a watering down. porobly to save costs. and they should say 'outer zone' not o.z.
-
...books at all. I may be wrong, if so please correct me. this is probably why there are no white people in The Wiz (although when I saw the film version years ago... some little kids sitting in front of me said when Lena Horne as Glinda appeared near the end "She's the only white person in this movie!") L. Frank Baum was not a white supremacist per se, but he did advocate the genocide of Native Americans.
-
why would you call your own world the outer zone. if that's what o.z. stands for.
-
..."I'd say brownish gold." "I saw it. It's a Lion! It's huge!" >:3 get in the car!
-
OK, I'll give you American Graffiti on a technicality because the music was so good it carried the emotional content of the movie. Jaws was absurd and poorly acted. Close Encounters was a bunch of hippie bullshit. The Goodbye Girl, give me a break, are you a woman? If not, you should be ashamed of yourself for even mentioning The Goodbye Girl. Good grief, I'm trying to take you seriously. Anyway, at that point I started avoiding Dreyfus movies until "What About Bob" which I previously admitted was uncharacteristically good for a Dreyfus movie.
-
You may have found the Deep Secret of the plot: Outer Zone implies an Inner Zone [cue Ominous Music and Sinister Laughter--O.M. and S.L.]
-
..."O.Z." thing? Based on that clip, Zoooooooey is the ONLY reason to record it, and FF to her scenes.
-
Right after I posted that list I thought; hey the guy was probably just kiddin' sayin Dreyfuss had never been in anything good. Guess I was wrong. No need to get into a discussion with you, and yeah, you're right, I'm a woman. Lookin for a date Johnny ? Maybe we can watch The Goodbye Girl together while you suck my tits and eat me out. When it's finished we'll watch Close Encounters and What About Bob and do it all over again. Do we have a date ? XXX
-
I'm gay.
-
Who keeps giving these people money?
-
I already knew that, it's alright.
-
You made me laugh. But I still don't like Richard Dreyfus.
-
Cheap bastards.
-
By far the most faithful film version of TWOOz made to date was done by the Muppets. Pity they couldn't have hired someone to play Dorothy who could act...
-
Great name for a show on SciFi, eh? Or substitute it for Originals: "Saturday night, on a new SciFi Unwatchable: Species 46--The Hurling"
-
a shit storm. Pass.
