Lea Michele To Lend Voice For Animated Wizard Of Oz Film

Summertime Entertainment's animated 3D musical "Dorothy of Oz" has snagged Lea Michele of "Glee" to voice the lead part and provide vocals on several original musical numbers.

"Dorothy" marks Michele's first work in features following Broadway roles in "Spring Awakening" and "Les Misérables" and the breakout success of "Glee."

Story, penned by Randi Barnes, Adam Balsam and Barry Glasser, is an update on "The Wizard of Oz" and centers on Dorothy Gale returning to a tornado-devastated Kansas and then being transported back to Oz to help her friends.

Jim Belushi as the Lion
Dan Aykroyd as the Scarecrow
Kelsey Grammer as the Tin Man
Oliver Platt as Wiser the Owl
Megan Hilty as the China Princess
Hugh Dancy as as Marshall Mallow
Martin Short as the Jester -- Dorothy's arch-nemesis.

Bryan Adams is writing the first songs and lyrics for the film along with writing partner Jim Vallance.

Summertime is aiming at completing "Dorothy" by the end of next year with distribution not yet set. Veteran animation producer Bonne Radford ("Curious George," "The Road to El Dorado") is producing with Dan St. Pierre ("Everyione's Hero") directing.

"Dorothy" is based on the writings of children's author Roger S. Baum, great-grandson of "Wonderful Wizard of Oz" author L. Frank Baum. Summertime -- headed Ryan Carroll and Roland Carroll and exec VPs Neil L. Kaufman, Rene Torres and James A. Jones -- is aiming to make several more pics based on Roger Baum's stories.

But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
