sergebroomComing in December, the SciFi Channel has something that's not about mutant sharks, or mutant insects, or mutant arthropods. The mini-series Tin Man sounds interesting. It looks interesting.
Here's what http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910812/ has to say:
"...The miniseries is a sometimes psychedelic, often twisted and always bizarre take on The Wizard of Oz. It centers on 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. DG discovers her true identity, battles evil winged monkey-bats and attempts to 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 "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"), who is seeking vengeance for his scarred heart. Ultimately, DG's destiny leads her to a showdown with the wicked sorceress Azkadellia, whose ties to DG are closer than anyone could have imagined..."
Richard Dreyfuss as the Wizard(*)? Alan Cumming as Glitch? Neal McDonough as the Tin Man? This does sound too good to be true. Who know? They're the network that airs Eureka, one of my favorite series. Maybe this mini-series will actually be so good that I'll grow frustrated as I wait for the DVD.

(*) No doubt a kindly wizard who'll put Frank Morgan's to shame as extremely rude. Right.
