That does sound awful. Probably would’ve killed their careers before they were done with the Harry Potter franchise.

Given his track record, it being too weird probably wasnt why he turned it down

Radcliffe:
>”One of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard, during Potter, somebody came to us and I think asked, like they wanted to cast all three of us, me, Emma and Rupert, in a remake of ‘Wizard of Oz,’ where Emma was Dorothy. I can’t remember what Rupert was, and I just remember that I was gonna be the lion but also he knew karate.”
>”I was like a karate kicking cowardly lion. And I remember I was like 14 or 15 and I was like, ‘I don’t know a lot about the world, but this is a bad idea and it should not be made.’”

This sounds diabolically bad and I wish it existed so I could watch it.

It doesn’t surprise me that some producers are really that dumb, yet are able to still fail upwards.

Still a better idea then rebooting Harry Potter this soon

He should really see if he can get it going again. I understand being a rising star to turn it down back then but he has done so many unique movies now I think a karate lion would be up there with Guns Akimbo and Swissarmy man.

Mr. Radcliffe, I respectfully disagree.

I always thought the Wizard of Oz needed more karate!

They should absolutely do this now.

I often feel bad for the comic book movie actors because afterwards the studio industry treats them like action figures.
Dan has it worse. But at least he appears to have a ton of fun with his indies and cameos.

That article title sounds like a story Radcliffe would be saddled with on a Would I Lie to You episode.

There are some movies that should not be made. There are some movies that absolutely should be made. And there are some movies that should be made tongue-in-cheek. This is one of those movies.
Mostly serious, but occasionally a wink and a nod to the absurdity of it all. Not a comedy per se, but an acknowledgement that it’s not at all serious.

Would watch.
