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.

When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) 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.

Oz: The Great And Powerful is set to hit theaters March 8th, 2013.

Fantine - 7/4/2012, 9:25 AM

Joker08 - 7/4/2012, 9:31 AM

One ring to rule them all...

FireKnightRises - 7/4/2012, 9:31 AM

I want to see sam raime's the shadow, could be interesting

MovieMann - 7/4/2012, 9:32 AM

Don't really care about this movie as of right now.

But I'm Loving that Poster.

95 - 7/4/2012, 9:34 AM

Congrats Disney. I never cared for this film, but this (spectacularly drawn) poster has caught my interest. And that fact that it's Disney has me a bit more hopefully that it won't be (at the very least) "not-boring".

AsianVersionOfET - 7/4/2012, 9:35 AM

Pretty cool poster I guess.

subzero1077 - 7/4/2012, 9:37 AM

Very excited for this! Poster is absolutely beautiful.

PaulRom - 7/4/2012, 9:39 AM

For anyone who's doubting how well Franco can act, watch 127 Hours. He needed an Oscar for his performance.

JatevinM - 7/4/2012, 9:42 AM

I'd hang this up in my room so that is a great poster

MarkCassidy - 7/4/2012, 9:46 AM

Lovely poster, actually looking forward to this.

blvdnoise - 7/4/2012, 9:46 AM

I'm actually pretty interested in this picture..

Effusion - 7/4/2012, 9:48 AM

That's cool,definitely seeing this one

HavocPrime - 7/4/2012, 9:51 AM

Raimi is a good director, but a Visonary? I think he has a ways to go before reaching that title.

TheAbomination - 7/4/2012, 9:54 AM

Looks good, but I feel like this is gonna turn out to be an "Alice in Wonderland (2010)" rip-off.

misner89 - 7/4/2012, 10:27 AM

looks awesome love tHATS ITs drawing

eleven59 - 7/4/2012, 10:36 AM

But Who is playing Michael Jackson?

gambgel - 7/4/2012, 10:39 AM

cool poster

but..... visionary director?

Julesimanerd - 7/4/2012, 11:28 AM

its gonna be like Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland! but except...you know...good

JoeMomma29 - 7/4/2012, 11:44 AM

LOL you know it will not be like Alice in Wonderland because there is no Johnny Depp or Tim Burton's big headed wife!

MrZoolittle - 7/4/2012, 11:44 AM

I loved the Wizard Of Oz, I can't wait for this one!

JediJoker515 - 7/4/2012, 11:51 AM

I'm not sure if I'll be seeing this movie. But, that really is a beautiful poster. Leagues better than the overly shopped half-assed ones that I'm used to seeing.

MilitaryStormtrooper - 7/4/2012, 12:25 PM

Seriously.. 'Visionary'???

but otherwise amazing poster, you can also see James Franco in the air balloon

musashi - 7/4/2012, 1:24 PM

Visionary director? That's what they said about Zac Snyder

TheNameIsBetty - 7/4/2012, 2:03 PM

@Joker08 - That's not even funny dude. Make like a tree and get out of here

MJPETTY7 - 7/4/2012, 2:26 PM

The Emerald City looks like Kandor... Cool!

superotherside - 7/4/2012, 2:57 PM

Awesome. Can't wait! I thought this would be good.

CaptainObvious - 7/4/2012, 3:33 PM

For those questioning the 'visionary' title, have you ever seen Raimi's other films outside of Spider-Man?
Evil Dead trilogy, Darkman, A Simple Plan, Drag Me to Hell. Watch those movies and you will understand 'visionary.'

Joker08 - 7/4/2012, 5:44 PM

@Fartman:

It wasn't supposed to be funny. And I'm actually really excited for this film - I have been since it was announced.

But I guess with a username like Fartman, I should have known your sense of humor would be far too sophisticated for anything I could say anyway.

mgeoff88 - 7/4/2012, 5:54 PM

That's a cool poster. This could turn out to be pretty good.

Super12 - 7/4/2012, 6:00 PM

Love it. I'm stoked.
