Oz: The Great and Powerful Movie Trailer

Get ready to experience a fantastical world as you walk down the yellow brick road yet again with Oz: The Great and Powerful. Who could ever forget the amazing story of Dorothy and Toto out of Kansas and into the magical world of Oz? This March 8th 2013, Oz will take movie goers to a new adventure directed by Sam Raimi. This movie is inspired by the 1900 novel: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and is set before The Wizard of Oz movie in 1939. Starring in this upcoming movie is James Franco as Oscar Diggs or commonly known as the Wizard of Oz and how he came to be the Wizard. Oz: The Great and Powerful also features Rachel Weisz as Evanora, Mila Kunis as Theodara and Michelle Williams as Glinda. Oz is going to be released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2D and 3D formats. Check out the latest news on this new movie, Oz: The Great and Powerful.

“A Closer Look At Oz: The Great and Powerful Movie

SAN DIEGO — Hot off its Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, the “Oz: The Great and Powerful” trailer has made its way online courtesy of Disney.

The new take on L. Frank Baum’s beloved stories comes at us from director Sam Raimi and stars James Franco as Oz, Michelle Williams as Glinda the Good and Mila Kunis as Theodorah, the Wicked Witch of the West. All three were on hand to talk to MTV News about the movie following the panel, and we’ll have more from that interview over the next few days. But for now, we’re breaking down the “Oz: The Great and Powerful” exciting new trailer:

We’re Not In Kansas Anymore

Raimi’s Oz isn’t the same one we know from Victor Fleming’s classic “Wizard of Oz” film and certainly doesn’t look as kind a setting. From the haunting music to the dangerous creatures, this Oz doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a friendly place for our favorite man behind the curtain.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

With that being said, we do get one very familiar sight: the yellow brick road. In fact, the scene that shows Theodora and Oz staring off into the distance at the Emerald City is markedly familiar to the shot of Dorothy and her three companions staring the same way in “The Wizard of Oz.” The interesting implication of this scene is that the Emerald City was around before the Wizard was its ruler. If that’s the case, then who was in charge before him? The plot thickens.
A Love Triangle at Play?

If we aren’t mistaken, Oz looks like he’s getting a bit close with both Glinda and Theodorah in this clip. Somehow we doubt that Theodorah, who Oz meets first, is going to be pleased about his interest in the Good Witch of the North. Maybe that’s why she sounds so mad when she says, “Aren’t you the great man we’ve been waiting for?”

A War Unfolds

Oz might be a land of mystery and wonder, but there’s also a lot of fighting going on. Flying monkeys descend from a Wicked Witch’s tower, soldiers march to war, and even Glinda looks like she’s getting in on the action. So who’s fighting who here? Somehow we doubt the Good and Wicked Witches get along. But there likely is more of a conflict happening in Oz than we can see in this trailer.”
