Emerald City has found its Dorothy
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Adria Arjona (Person of Interest) has been cast as Dorothy in Emerald City, NBC’s dark reimagining of the Wizard Of Oz. Arjona, who also appears in the upcoming season of True Detective, will portray a “beauty scarred by past experiences” who escapes from the cops with a K9 police dog and is transported to Oz. There, she encounters Poochie-fied characters like West, a “drugged-out virtuoso filled with self-loathing;” North, a “Type-A manipulative perfectionist;” and the Wizard, a politician whose showmanship “conceals a dangerous, and perhaps deadly, seriousness.” Also, the Tin Man is probably a serial-killing robot, because why not?
