After an initial teaser for Sam Raimi‘s upcoming fantasy blockbuster, things have been relatively quiet on the Oz the Great and Powerful front. But now Disney is gearing up for a spring release and have plans to release a trio of posters featuring our witches in the film, Glinda (Michelle Williams), Theodora (Mila Kunis), and Evanora (Rachel Weisz).
The first has arrived today, and while Yahoo Movies aren’t revealing if it is Kunis or Weisz, a quick zoom indicates it is more likely the later as we get a greater look at this world. As we know, this prequel follows the magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) as he’s transported into this world of Oz. Check it out below for the film also starring Zach Braff, Joey King and Bruce Campbell, and we’ll update when the remaining two posters arrive.
Synopsis:
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.
Oz the Great and Powerful arrives on March 8th, 2013.
