These visually stunning photographs promise a great deal of new imagining in this prequel of
The Wizard of Oz. The official synopsis says:
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.
I'm looking forward to see what this great cast and director Sam Raimi will bring forward in
Oz: The Great and Powerful.
