Oz The Great and Powerful will see director Sam Raimi re-team with Rise of the Planet of the Apes star James Franco (who he last worked with on the Spider-Man trilogy) and an all-star cast which includes Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Zach Braff. Entertainment Tonight have revealed the following set visit, as well as confirming plans to release the first trailer for the film this Thursday.

"Oz The Great and Powerful" 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.

James Franco as Oscar Diggs/Oz
Mila Kunis as Theodora
Michelle Williams as Glinda the Good Witch
Rachel Weisz as Evanora

I have no idea what this film is about, nor do I want to.

Raimi's a masterful director. I cannot wait.

James Franco as OZ is the worst casting ever. Just doesn't feel right.

Cool. Can't wait for the trailer. Wish RDJ was playing Oz though. Still Franco is one of my favorite actors so he could be really good in this.

RDJ would have made Oz a pimp

This looks good so far...and a big Thank You to Raimi, and Mila for answering the question, this will not be a musical!!!...I'm all in now, bring on the trailer!!..Also, I like Franco as Oz, if it was RDJ all I would think about is Tony Stark...I had the same problem watching Sherlock Holmes...just couldn't get into the character...James will do a good job in this...@Greengo, there will be a lot of stoners going to see this movie, I think Franco will be just fine lol...
