Zooey Deschanel, little sister of “Bones” star Emily Deschanel, and the last woman on Earth after our fair planet was obliterated in “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” to make room for an intergalactic freeway, will be slipping on Dorothy’s slippers and Sunday dress for the Sci Fi Channel’s new mini-series “Tin Man”, their “re-imagining” (re: unnecessary slaughter) of “The Wizard of Oz”. She’ll be joining Alan Cumming, with shooting to start sometime in March for a December 2007 premiere. Gee, I can’t wait. Well, yes, I can. You know what I mean. Read on…
Via Sci Fi Wire:
Deschanel will play DG, a young woman plucked from her humdrum life and thrust into The Outer Zone (the O.Z.), a fantastical realm filled with wonder but oppressed by dark magic. She joins Alan Cumming, who plays Glitch, one of the colorful characters trapped in the O.Z.
Tin Man is a psychedelic, often twisted and always outrageous take on the book. DG must discover her true identity, battle evil monkey-bats and fulfill her destiny. Her perilous journey begins on the fabled Old Road that leads to a wizard known as the Mystic Man. Along the way, she is joined by a strange trio: Glitch, an odd man missing half his brain; Raw, a quietly powerful wolverine-like creature longing for inner courage; and Cain, a heroic former policeman (known in the O.Z. as a Tin Man, for his tin badge), who is seeking vengeance for his scarred heart. Ultimately, DG’s destiny leads her to an emotional and terrifying showdown with the wicked sorceress Azkadellia, whose ties to DG are closer than anyone could imagine.
Um. Okay.
