Will the Sci Fi Channel’s “Tin Man” have “Wizard of Oz” fans up in arms? “Tin Man” is a new take on “Wizard of Oz,” and promises to be an interesting adaptation – but don’t expect any musical numbers.

Zooey Deschanel, who stars as DG in “Tin Man” says,“It’s postmodern, more like Indiana Jones than a fairy tale.” Deschanel will take on the role of a motorcycle-riding/waitress version of Dorothy. Preview after the jump.

According to Deschanel, “It’s a coming-of-age story. Here’s DG acting out in a teenage way before she gets swept up by the storm.” The tornado transports DG to O.Z., or Outer Zone. “Then she’s forced to grow up a little bit and find out how brave she is and how smart she is. On this journey, she becomes an adult.”

“Tin Man” is a six hour miniseries, airing December 2 through December 4, and co-stars Neal McDonough, Alan Cumming, Raoul Trujillo, Blu Mankuma, Kathleen Robertson and Richard Dreyfuss.
