Disney’s showing off this new poster of James Franco, one of the stars of Oz The Great and Powerful. The caption: “Meet Oscar Diggs: A small-time magician with questionable ethics arrives in a land and must decide if he will be a good man or a great one.”
Directed by Sam Raimi and heading to theaters on March 8, 2013, Oz The Great and Powerful also stars Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, and Rachel Weisz.
The Plot: When Oscar Diggs (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 (Kunis), Evanora (Weisz) and Glinda (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 wizard but into a better man as well.
