A  few months ago, I had to read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz for class. I asked myself “why hasn’t a steampunk movie about this been made?” This is a good start!

Almost insignificant spoiler:

They should have kept true to the Oz books and kept the silver shoes at the end. I’m just sayin’.

thedailywhat:

Lights Out: Atlanta-based boutique film company Whitestone Motion Pictures presents Heartless — a stupendous, surreal, steampunk-ish, live-action quasi-musical based on the tragic — and tragically little-known — backstory of L. Frank Baum’s Tin Woodsman.

Check out the film’s website for more info, song downloads, and making-of featurettes.
