The classic hit 1939 film starring Judy Garland has been confirmed for a new remake.

According to Variety, the film, adapted from the book written by L. Frank Baum will be directed by Nicole Kassell for New Line Cinema.

The studio promises a “fresher take” on Dorothy and the Land of Oz, adding that it can “draw on other elements” from Garland’s “Wizard of Oz” — like the prized ruby red slippers.

With the advancements in technology, including CGI (computer-generated imagery), fans can also expect a more realistic and less creepy version of characters such as the Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow.

I am exhilarated and humbled by the responsibility of re-imagining such a legendary tale. The opportunity to examine the original themes — the quest for courage, love, wisdom and home — feels more timely and urgent than ever.”

“These are profoundly iconic shoes to fill, and I am eager to dance alongside these heroes of my childhood as we pave a newly minted yellow brick road!” Kassel said in a statement.

The remake will not be a musical like its predecessor.
