If the Wizard of Oz was re made today, who would you cast as the characters?

Question:Dakota Fanning as Dorothy
Johnny Depp as the scarecrow
Nicole Kidman as Glenda the good witch
William Shatner as the wizard
Wil Smith as the tin man
Jack Nicholsen as the lion
Cher as the wicken witch of the west

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Dakota Fanning as Dorothy
Johnny Depp as the scarecrow
Nicole Kidman as Glenda the good witch
William Shatner as the wizard
Wil Smith as the tin man
Jack Nicholsen as the lion
Cher as the wicken witch of the west

I don't think there is a movie studio going who wouldn't go after Miley Cyrus for the part. She would sell tickets. For the scarecrow, I see Brad Pitt with that shaggy blonde hair like straw. For the Wicked Witch - Catherine Zeta Jones would put a sultry twist on the wickedness. And by all means, Johnny Depp for the Wizard. Pax-C
