Futon Critic Reported: Steven Long Mitchell and Craig Van Sickle (“The Pretender,” “The Tin Man”) are developing a new four-hour mini-series at the cable channel which puts a sci-fi twist on “The Wizard of Oz.” The project centers on Dorothy, a young girl who gets lost in an alternate universe policed by law enforcement officers known as Tin Men and tries to find her way home with the help of three strangers she meets in the mysterious land known as Outer Zone, or O.Z. The pair will write and executive produce the mini-series, which is still in the early stages of development.
