Next Spring, we'll be getting a rather cool film. Oz: The Great and Powerful will be coming from Disney on March 8, 2013, unless the Mayans were correct and the world ends on December 21, 2012. Barring an unlikely doomsday scenario attributed to a long-dead civilization, we will be returning to the Land of Oz with a prequel to The Wizard of Oz.
Here's a new poster to remind us how great this film will look.
The film stars James Franco as the Wizard of Oz and tells the story of how he found himself in that peculiar land so far from Kansas. It also tells how one of the three witch sisters, played by Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, and Michelle Williams, comes to be the Wicked Witch of the West. This poster is our first glimpse of the wicked witch and shows off a bit of the production design for the film. I think it's safe to say that with the talent involved (it's directed by Sam Raimi, the guy behind the original Spider-Man trilogy) and the look of the production design so far, that this will be one of the highlights of Spring 2013.
I really hope the world doesn't end before we can see this one.
Are you excited for a prequel to The Wizard of Oz? Do you think this will turn out to be Raimi's Alice in Wonderland? Let me know in the comments below or on Twitter!
