Dakota Fanning is to star in the sequel to The Wizard Of Oz.


The actress is speculated to land the lead role in the follow-up to the classic 1939 film.


Producer Basil Iwanyk said: “It will be set in the present day and feature Dorothy’s granddaughter.”


Co-producer Todd McFarlane added: “You’ve still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she’s much closer to the Ripley character from Alien than a helpless singing girl.”
