After revealing the intriguing new movie poster for Oz the Great and Powerful starring James Franco, Disney has now released the first trailer, shown yesterday at San Diego’s Comic Con. Oz the Great and Powerful tells the story of how Oscar Diggs went from simple Kansas man to the great Wizard of Oz.

 

I’ll just say five words: We’re not in Kansas anymore! 

 

 

 

What did you think? Definitely much darker (as anticipated, I think) than we are used to seeing from this familiar storyline. More “Wicked” than “Wizard of Oz” I believe. Oz the Great and Powerful will land in theaters in March of 2013.
