We may only be in July but today we are looking ahead to March 2013 and the release of Oz The Great And Powerful.
Yes we are returning to Oz as Sam Raimi is back in the director’s chair for the first time since Drag Me To Hell in 2009.
And Raimi has given us a little taste of what we can expect from the movie as he unveils the first trailer for the film:
James Franco leads an all star cast that includes Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams and Zach Braff.
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.
Oz The Great And Powerful will be released March 2013
