Oz The Great And Powerful coming soon to theaters (Photos)

Walt Disney Pictures has set a release date of March 8, 2013 for the movie Oz The Great And Powerful. The Oz The Great And Powerful movie plot captures the origins of Frank Baum beloved character, the Wizard of Oz.

Did you know? Frank Baum was famously remembered for his children's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Did you know? The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the novel was reproduced several times as The Wizard of Oz, turned stage play in 1902 and later feature film in 1932 starring Judy Garland.

Nevertheless, according to many this current Oz film of 2013 features Oscar Diggs (James Franco), an unknown circus magician with questioning ethics, Oscar was flung away from dusty Kansas to the lively Land of Oz. In the beginning he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune is his for the taking. That all changes, conversely, when he encounters three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz), and Glinda (Michelle Williams), they are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Unwillingly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its occupants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Using his magical talents 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 individual as well. The trailer for the film is attached. Why not give your opinion as to whether or not you are interested in seeing the film?

Did you know? James Franco auditioned for the role of Peter Parker in Spider-Man (2002), but was given the part of Harry Osborn.

Did you know? Michelle Williams was first known as bad girl Jen Lindley in the television series Dawson's Creek.
