OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL - New Bananas Clip and Photos
If you're not excited about Oz the Great and Powerful, you should be. If you're a fan of the original film and Sam Raimi then this is a movie you're sure to enjoy. Disney has released a new clip from the film featuring Oscar Diggs/The Wizard (James Franco) and Finley the flying monkey (Zach Braff) as they start start their journey to take down the Wicked Witch so that Diggs can claim the treasures of the Emerald City. I've also included a new Behind the scenes featurette, and a couple of new photos from the film that might be considered a spoiler.
The movie will be released on March 8th, 2013 and it's a movie that needs to be watched on the big screen, and in 3D, and that's coming from a guy that doesn't like 3D movies.
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, 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, Evanora and Glinda, 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.
When small-time magician Oscar Diggs pulls one flimflam too many, he finds himself hurled into the fantastical Land of Oz where he must somehow transform himself into the great and powerful Wizard—and just maybe into a better man as well.
