Oz The Great and Powerful, Official Full Movie Trailer Released

The official full movie trailer has been released for the upcoming Sam Raimi (Spider-Man Trilogy) directed film Oz The Great and Powerful, a Disney prequel to The Wizard of Oz film (1939) that tells a tale of how the wizard Oscar Diggs (played by actor James Franco) came to be. Oz The Great and Powerful opens in theaters on March 8, 2013.

Official plot summary from Disney:

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, a spectacular world filled with colourful characters, and dream-like settings, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot — fame and fortune are his for the taking. That is until he meets three beautiful and mysterious 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 Oz the Great and Powerful wizard, but into a better man as well.
