DESCHANEL TO PLAY SCI-FI DOROTHY
ZOOEY DESCHANEL is set to play a DOROTHY-like character in the US Sci Fi channel’s upcoming miniseries based on L FRANK BAUM’S classic book THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ.
The ELF star will play DC, a young woman plucked from her normal life and thrust into the Outer Zone (O.Z.), a fantasy realm that also has a dark element.
Deschanel will star opposite ALAN CUMMING, who has been cast as GLITCH, a scarecrow-like character in the show, which is tentatively titled TIN MAN.
The six-hour miniseries is scheduled to begin production next month (MAR07) in Vancouver, Canada and will premiere in December (07).
