Sam Raimi went old-school for the opening credits sequence of Oz The Great and Powerful, the story of how the Wizard made his way to the magical world of Oz. And in case you were either out of the theater or still finding a seat when the credits rolled – or just haven’t taken in a screening of this Oz prequel yet – Disney’s just released the 2+ minute opening credits sequence online.
The Plot:
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 wizard but into a better man as well.
