If this does well enough, perhaps Raimi will finally get his chance to do The Shadow. <br /><br />3. Intriguing that 2013 will mark the tenth anniversary of the 2003 Peter Pan film.

What's more, even L. Frank Baum himself never really went into great detail about what happened when the Wizard arrived in Oz for the first time.
