NORWALK, CT, April 22, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- With shooting complete, Blackthorn Pictures begins post-production on its first feature film, "The Witches of Oz 3D". Written and directed by Leigh Scott, the film stars Paulie Rojas as Dorothy Gale, Billy Boyd as Nick Chopper, Eliza Swenson as Billie Westbrook, and Christopher Lloyd as the Wizard of Oz - also featuring the acting talents of Sean Astin, Ethan Embry, Mia Sara, Lance Henriksen, Jason Mewes, Jeffrey Combs, Noel Thurman, Barry Ratcliffe, and Sasha Jackson.
In Leigh Scott's most ambitious project to date, his story takes a fresh angle on L. Frank Baum's classic "The Wizard of Oz". "The Witches of Oz in 3D" is a fantasy/comedy that follows the exploits of Dorothy Gale, now a successful children's book author, as she moves from Kansas to New York City. Dorothy quickly realizes that the dreams on which she based her books were actually childhood memories, and that the wonders of Oz are very, very real. When the Wicked Witch of the West appears in Times Square, Dorothy must find inner courage to stop her.
Principle photography for Witches... began in December 2009 and wrapped in early February 2010. It was filmed on location in various cities in Connecticut including Hartford, Norwalk, Bridgeport, Easton and Ridgefield as well as utilizing studio space at Palace Digital Studios and the Connecticut Film Center. Major portions of the film were also shot in Manhattan.
Producers include Leigh Scott, Eliza Swenson of Blackthorn Pictures and Christopher Campbell, owner/operator of Palace Productions and the creative force behind Rabbit Ears Entertainment.
