The beloved story of is the latest film to be up for remake.
Can you improve on a classic? The latest remake will be led by director Nicole Kassell.
Kassell has won a whole host of awards for her work on the series and also directed in 2004 and back in 2011.
The director shared a statement, announcing: “I am incredibly honoured to join Temple Hill and New Line in bringing this beloved classic to the screen"
"While 1939 musical is part of my DNA, I am exhilarated and humbled by the responsibility of re-imagining such a legendary tale. The opportunity to examine the original themes — the quest for courage, love, wisdom and home — feels more timely and urgent than ever.”
"These are profoundly iconic shoes to fill, and I am eager to dance alongside these heroes of my childhood as we pave a newly minted yellow brick road.”
The novel that inspired the films, was published in 1900.
It was so popular there were 13 follow-up books.
The 1939 Judy Garland musical is the best-loved version on the silver screen. Fans are hoping that this newest version won't be a disappointment, and they've got a lot to match up to.
It's still very early days for the project so far, and there's no news just yet of a cast or crew.
