During a recent appearance on Hot Ones, Daniel Radcliffe recounted a bizarre pitch from the height of the Harry Potter fame, where he, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint were approached for a remake of Wizard of Oz. Radcliffe would have played a karate-kicking Cowardly Lion, a concept he recognized as a "bad idea" even at 14. Thankfully, the project never came to fruition, while the trio’s only collaboration remains the original Harry Potter series. Radcliffe’s insight into the odd proposal highlights the unusual nature of Hollywood pitches.
