* StuntCasting: The reason Richard Dreyfuss was cast as the Mystic Man. According to WordOfGod...
--> "For the part of the Mystic Man you want that really big name that everybody is going to know; and who’ll bring the great stuff that Richard brings to a role."


Added DiffLines:

** It was first pitched as a weekly TV series, but the Sci-Fi Channel instead requested a miniseries. It was originally just going to be four hours, but they liked the script so much they expanded it to six.

* HypotheticalCasting: When the series aired, the reaction from the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' fan list to Creator/NealMcDonough amounted to ''"How the hell did Zach Foxx end up in Oz?!"''



* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: Zooey Deschanel and Kathleen Robertson certainly look like they could be sisters in real life. Likewise Rachel Pattee who plays DG as a child, has a striking resemblance to Deschanel.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The story was originally going to have the Tin Man as the protagonist and be more about the police in the Emerald City, hence the title. It was then retooled into a re-imagining of the original story. The creators couldn't think of a better name, which is the reason for the ArtifactTitle.
