Tin Man Premieres on Sci Fi This Weekend

BuzzSugar — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 11:00:00 PST

This weekend, we'll get our first look at Tin Man, Sci Fi's trippy new take on The Wizard of Oz. Starring Zooey Deschanel, Alan Cumming, Richard Dreyfuss, and Kathleen Robertson, the three-night miniseries centers the classic story in a land called the Outer Zone (or OZ).

Deschanel plays DG, this version's Dorothy, a Midwestern waitress who gets suddenly thrust into another dimension. Instead of a cowardly lion and a tin man, this version has characters like Glitch (Cumming), who's missing half his brain. But it still has a wicked witch: Azkadellia (Kathleen Robertson), who rules the OZ with an iron fist.

So far, reviews have been mixed - USA Today said this alterna-OZ was a bit too grim, while TV Guide appreciated its absurdity - but my TiVo's still set. I'll take my Deschanel anywhere I can find her, and I want to see what kind of special effects Sci Fi has cooked up. To watch the trailer and a clip from Sunday's first episode, just

Zooey and Her Ruby Red Pumps Premiere Tin Man

Molly — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 10:30:22 PST

Zooey Deschanel looked perfectly adorable and wonderfully pretty at the LA premiere of her new Sci Fi miniseries Tin Man in LA last night. While her character is named DG instead of Dorothy, Zooey was in the requisite ruby red shoes with a stunning red dress to match and little Toto in her arms. I've been looking forward to this series since learning about it over the summer and getting a first look, and that was before I realized how much I would miss her on Weeds this season. Zooey recently described the new take on a classic story saying, "It's postmodern, more like Indiana Jones than a fairy tale." While they had me the moment they cast quirky Zooey, I genuinely can't wait to see the first episode this Sunday.

Zooey D Is Following the Yellow Brick Road

Who knew I would be interested in watching yet another remake of The Wizard of Oz? At NBC's TCAs, the SciFi network was allowed to crash the party with what is bound to be their biggest hit of the season, Tin Man. The adorable Zooey Deschanel will star as Dorothy in the six hour miniseries which had amazing special effects and an updated look and feel. The cast also includes Richard Dreyfuss (who was not there), Alan Cummings as the scarecrow who graciously attended via satellite - so Alan of him, and Kathleen Robertson as the wicked witch (you know, Clare Arnold from Beverly Hills 90210). This show is for someone who enjoys a great classic with a modern twist and excellent production value. Here are a few highlights from the panel:

When Zooey was asked about playing two iconic characters like Dorothy and the upcoming (if it ever really happens) Janis Joplin movie. Her response was, "Well, that's a stretch... I mean they're both women. They have brown hair."
Alan Cummings was asked, Which is the hotter babe? The Wicked Witch or Dorothy?" His response that made the filled room laugh, "It's like a psychological thing. I think Dorothy and the witch represent the good and the bad and, you know, the darkness and the light. And so actually, it would be a good thing would be to have a combo."

I really had no idea about this show until today but it's definitely worth watching out for. As for Zooey, well we will always have her recent duet.

Zooey, Rumer & Marcia Make An Odd Party Trio

Molly — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 15:45:14 PDT

Yay Zooey! Miss Deschanel was up in Vancouver with a few other Hollywood faces like Marcia Cross and Rumer Willis, to celebrate the opening of a Holt Renfrew department store. Dave Navarro was also in the house, officially making this the most random celebrity party ever. What would those four people ever have to talk about? Also, Alan Cumming was there. As usual Zooey was super cute while Rumer is totally stepping it up fashion-wise these days. She's totally going to be a "celebrity designer" within two years.
