CREATURE FEATURES, your one-stop shop for out-of-this-world movie & TV memorabilia, celebrates the art of screenwriting with our latest offerings of rare, unproduced, and hard-to-find screenplays!This week, we're offering the superb teleplay from the 1990 TV movie THE DREAMER OF OZ starring John Ritter as L. Frank Baum, the author and creator of THE WIZARD OF OZ.
This ultra-rare 107-page script was penned by renowned author and fantasist Richard Matheson (I AM LEGEND, SOMEWHERE IN TIME, TWILIGHT ZONE'S "NIGHTMARE AT 20,000 FEET, with co-story credit going to the film's producer, David Kirschner.
The NBC-TV telefilm depicted how Baum came to create THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ while undergoing and eventually overcoming professional and personal failures. The story is interspersed with the famous Oz story, shown at certain points when Baum is writing down his ideas. It is shown that Baum was originally telling this to a group of kids, who asked him the name of this location, to which he looks at a file cabinet with one drawer marked O-Z and decided "Oz". Another idea Baum had thought of was to say Dorothy was born in the Dakota Territory, only to scrap that sentence in favor of Kansas.
