Russia finally did what Hollywood feared: made Oz actually magical again.
Ellie lives in a distant city. One day, the evil witch Gingema conjured a hurricane that took Ellie and her dog Totoshka to the country of the Munchkins. To return home, Ellie and her friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion will set off along the yellow brick road to the Emerald City in search of the Wizard who will grant their cherished wishes.
Practical Effects
Creature designs that feel like someone weaponized childhood dreams.
Production
Emerald City as brutalist fantasy architecture—actually built, not rendered.
Costume
Gingema's hurricane couture deserves its own fashion week.
