This fantasy adventure film is the prequel to the infamous story; The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. It will be directed by Sam Raimi (who directed the Spider-Man trilogy 2002-2007) with the estimate budget of $200 million. It is the story of how Wizard of Oz came about to Land of Oz in the first place.
James Franco (Your Highness) will play the character of Oscar Diggs, otherwise known as Wizard of Oz. The 3 witches are played by Mila Kunis (Ted) as Theodora, Rachel Weisz (The Bourne Legacy) as Evanora and Michelle Williams (Shutter Island) as Glinda.
Oscar who is a small time circus magician has lost his way to the Land of Oz and was reluctantly drawn into the problems of the land. The witches was not convince that Oscar is not the great wizard that everyone is expecting and now Oscar must find who is able to help him.
Looking at the trailer and knowing that the film is by Walt Disney, be prepared for a massive usage of computer-generated imagery, and tho I was hoping the film to be more darker theme, it still has to carter for the younger ones.
I always have that something for Mila ever since I fell in love with her exotic look in That 70's Show. Now that she's Theodora, Wicked Witch of the West, I really hope to see her outshine herself, if not better than her role in Black Swan.
