This winter, Sci Fi is putting a new spin on The Wizard of Oz. The network's six-hour miniseries, "Tin Man," is a dark reimagining of the classic story set in modern times. Zooey Deschanel plays DG, a girl with a fairly boring life who is suddenly thrust into a magical realm known as the O.Z., filled with odd creatures such as Glitch (Alan Cumming), who's missing half his brain, and Raw (Raoul Trujillo), a wolverine of sorts who longs for courage.
Pop and I got the scoop on "Tin Man" over the summer, but the trailer is finally online for all to see, and I have to say, it looks pretty cool. The special effects are spellbinding even on the tiny YouTube player, and Zooey seems like just the right choice for the shell-shocked DG. I'm planning to give it a look when it airs in December; what about you? To check out the trailer, just read more

a) i love the wizard of oz, b) i will watch anything with zooey in it, and c) alan cumming is fantastic!!!
1This looks really cool, but I HATE the way they refer to OZ as "The 'O' 'Z'"!!! That was a tad annoying and jarringly unnecessary!!
2Does Zooey look thinner here? She looked a lot better before!
3Well, The Wizard of Oz fan in me is torn. I hate remakes of it, but at least this seems original enough, so I'll probably check it out.
4I will most definitely be watching!
5I always liked the wizard of oz..I can't wait to catch this remake..even if I hate it..
6I love Zooey so that will probably draw me in more than anything ele
7Might be interesting...I'll check it out when it airs.
8i love zooey
9Is that Callum Keith Rennie in a part? It flashes by too fast. Neil! Callum! I'm in!
10i LOVE her!! this totally might be something the boyfriend would be into....
11I have the biggest crush on Alan. I think i have watched "The Anniversary Party" about 10,000 times.
12I do too Caterpillar Girl!!! I don't see a problem with having a crush on a gay man...it's pretty similar to crushing on a married Hollywood man...hey, they are both unobtainable!!! :roftl:
13Zooey seems like the perfect actress for this type of role.
14i just don't think this looks good. the acting looks terrible for one. i'm into magic realism and all but this is just boring looking - very bad dialogue!
15It looks interesting and I love Zooey but I can't stand them calling it the OZee!
16Is that Claire from 90210 as the Wicked Witch?
