Welcome back to Oz. The way you've never seen it before. Disney has unveiled the first official teaser poster for their big, magical new adventureOz: The Great and Powerful, being directed byEvil Dead'sSam Raimi, starringJames Francoas the young magician Oz. We have yet to see an actual trailer or any first looks yet, but they have been showing footage at Disney presentations like D23 andCinemaCon. I expect a trailer is coming very soon this summer, and this poster is just our very first tease. Everything looks colorful and fun, until you notice themultipletornadoes ravaging Oz. Take a look at the full teaser poster just below.

When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (Franco) pulls one flim flam 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.Also features the three witches Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams). Disney's fantastical adventure Oz The Great and Powerful, directed by Sam Raimi(Evil Dead, Dark Man, Spider-Man, Drag Me to Hell), imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. From a screenplay by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire. Disney will be sending us back to Oz onMarch 8th, 2013next year. See you then!

Hopefuly this is good! The cast and director behind it are fantastic. I always wondered why the other Oz books never got film adaptations.

it makes me all giddy inside

Producer is also largely responsible for a movie's success/failure. Joe Roth, producer of Oz, was also one of the producers of Burton's Alice in Wonderland. That movie was a big disappointment, the story, writing, and even the 3D sucked. So I still have reservations about Oz. I'm still hoping for something extraordinary, but expecting something less.
