Just like Walter White, she maintains the qualities we actually liked about her: She's very loyal to her friends, and at the same time she has that Kansas gumption. At first I was really afraid of it because she is such a beloved character, but I like the idea of taking someone you love and turning them a little darker. The title ( Dorothy Must Die) came to me first, and then the idea of her being dark just stuck with me. That's actually how I've been describing it to everyone: "Yeah, it's like Breaking Dorothy." When did you first get the idea to break Dorothy bad?Ī.
It's fun to figure out how to make something new out of something you already love. I love having created Amy, but for me writing Dorothy as someone different has been such a joy. What's been your favorite aspect of writing this new take on the Oz mythos?Ī. And check out an exclusive excerpt from No Place Like Oz. In her first interview about the project, which is in development to become a CW TV series, Paige, who is 38 and lives in New York City, talks with USA TODAY. It doesn't take long for her to quickly feel the need to return to that wondrous landscape, but what she finds there twists her into something new and very different. So, how did Dorothy go from good-hearted kid to someone who could give the Wicked Witch of the West a lesson in evil? Paige sets the stage for what's to come in the e-book prequel novella No Place Like Oz (available Tuesday), which catches up with 16-year-old Dorothy two years after she arrives home from her first trip to Oz. Amy is recruited by the formerly wicked witches to nab the Scarecrow's brain, rip out the Tin Man's heart, remove the Lion's courage and take out Dorothy once and for all. However, Oz isn't much of a magical place anymore - it's now under the iron fist of Dorothy and her henchmen, the Tin Man and his pals. The first book, Dorothy Must Die (out April 1), introduces Amy Gumm, a pink-haired, modern-day Kansas teenager who, like Dorothy years earlier, gets transported via tornado to Oz. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz books and the classic 1939 movie turns villainous at the hands of debut young-adult novelist Danielle Page with her planned Dorothy Must Die trilogy (HarperCollins). Dorothy Gale is making a home on the dark side.
Roll out the welcome mat, Darth Vader, Professor Moriarty and Walter White.
