Initial reaction: OH HELL NO. DO NOT FUCK WITH OZ. PLZ.
Calmed-down reaction: imagine what they could do with today's technology!!! 3D flying monkeys! Oz! The Haunted Forest!! I'm hesitant to wish for Burton since he gets everything and it would be too similar to Alice, but fuck he could do something special with this. And Alice is gorgeous so having something similar wouldn't necessarily be bad.
IDK. Gonna say I'm cautiously excited but it could go terribly terribly wrong.
I was trying to read the article with an open mind, and then I got to: It's only fitting that "Twilight" would somehow be connected to a potential teen hit.
No. Frankly. No.
I don't care if the cast of Twilight are sitting down to watch The Wizard of Oz while dressed as munchkins... it is never fitting to connect a franchise that has slaughtered the vampire genre and raised a bunch of 12yo girls on a girl giving herself to a man because hey her life sucks so rather than do anything about it she may as well become subservient to this guy who will suck her blood and therefore "own" her... you cannot connect THAT to the inspiring and imaginative Wizard of Oz that teaches children that there are amazing things in the world and great adventures to be had but "there's no place like home".
THANK GOD. I thought maybe I was still in a bitchy mood after they got the freakin actors from Twilight to present the Horror tribute at the Oscars. Because really wtf was that about. You've got an audience of the most talented people in Hollywood who have done a wide range of movies and you can't find people who have actually done a Horror movie.
Twilight has f**king sparkly vampires. SPARKLY VAMPIRES. Bram Stoker is turning in his freaking grave right now with how NOT HORROR this franchise is. I mean honestly. SPARKLY. FREAKIN. VAMPIRES.
Fail Oscars. Is all I'm saying. And fail 12yo girls who seem to be the catalyst for turning everything into a "we love Twilight" fiesta.
Did they not notice The Wolfman? Benicio and Emily would have kicked some serious arse.

As soon as I read, "Twlight producer Temple Hill," I wanted to smack a ho.
DO NOT TOUCH MY CLASSIC, PLEASE.
