Uh, whut?
http://scifipedia.scifi.com/images/thumb/1/13/Tinman-cast-1.JPG/300px-Tinman-cast-1.JPGTin Man is the SCI FI Channel's twist on L. Frank Baum's classic novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a six-hour miniseries premiering on December 2, 2007.
A sometimes psychedelic, often twisted, and always outrageous take on the book, SCI FI's Tin Man is the epic tale of DG (Zooey Deschanel), a young woman plucked from her humdrum life and thrust into The Outer Zone (the O.Z.), a fantastical realm rife with wonder, but oppressed by dark magic. In the adventure of a lifetime, DG discovers her true identity, battles evil winged-monkey-bats, and attempts to fulfill her destiny. Her perilous journey begins on the fabled Old Road that leads to a wizard known as the Mystic Man (Richard Dreyfuss).
http://scifipedia.scifi.com/images/thumb/6/67/Tinman-cast-2.JPG/300px-Tinman-cast-2.JPGAlong the way, she is joined by a decidedly strange trio of companions—"Glitch" (Alan Cumming), an odd man missing half his brain; "Raw" (Raoul Trujillo), a quietly powerful wolverine-like creature longing for inner courage, and "Cain" (Neal McDonough), a heroic former policeman (known in the O.Z. as Tin Men, for their tin badges) seeking vengeance for his scarred heart. Ultimately, DG's destiny leads her to an emotional and terrifying showdown with the scintillatingly wicked sorceress Azkadellia (Kathleen Robertson), whose ties to DG are closer than anyone could have imagined. DG's life, as well as the very future of the O.Z., hangs in the balance.
Tin Man is executive produced by Robert Halmi, Sr. and Robert Halmi, Jr. Co-writers Steven Long Mitchell and Craig Van Sickle (Medical Investigation, The Pretender) also serve as executive producers on the project. Nick Willing (Jason & The Argonauts, Alice in Wonderland) directs.
The SCI FI Channel original air date: December 2, 2007.

Ok, either this has epic fail written all over it or it has just kinda fail. Oh, wait. It's a mini series..... Perhaps it has some promise after all.
Or not.
Oh, Richard Dreyfuss, what have you become?
