FIRST TRAILER For Oz the Great and Powerful

Oz the Great and Powerful Teaser Poster

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.

Breaking: First Official Poster for Oz The Great And Powerful

Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.
