The full trailer for Disney’s Oz The Great and Powerful is now out and oh my goodness it looks like it’s going to be a fantastic journey. I am not the biggest Wizard of Oz fan but I love being whisked away to a new and exciting land full of monsters and creatures and judging by the trailer, this Oz is full of them. I highly recommend you watch this trailer in fullscreen for the full effect, coworkers be damned! There is a place and time for magical things and that time is now. The movie is slated to open in theaters on March 8, 2013.
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, a spectacular world filled with colourful characters, and dream-like settings, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot — fame and fortune are his for the taking. That is until he meets three beautiful and mysterious 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 Oz the Great and Powerful wizard, but into a better man as well.
