Dakota Fanning to Star in The Wizard of Oz Sequel?!?

Dakota Fanning as the vampire Jane in New Moon? Awesome idea.

Dakota Fanning as Dorothy’s granddaughter in a sequel to The Wizard of Oz? Possibly the worst idea in cinematic history.

According to British newspaper Express, the young actress really is being considered for the starring role in an upcoming sequel to The Wizard of Oz, one that sources say would be "darker and more action-packed" than the 1939 original.

Said Todd McFarlane: "You’ve still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she’s much closer to the Ripley character from Alien [Sigourney Weaver] than a helpless singing girl.”

Really? A sequel to one of the most iconic movies of all-time? That's just wrong.
