From roller derbies to somewhere over the rainbow, Drew Barrymore is to direct a Wizard of Oz sequel.

The actress - who marked her directorial debut earlier this year with Whip It - is set to go behind the camera for Surrender Dorothy, a project she was originally set to star in eight years ago. Although the film - based on a script by Zach Helm - appeared to have been shelved in October 2002, it has now been resurrected by Warner Bros, though it unclear whether Drew is still planning to act in it too.
