Oz The Great and Powerful New Trailer

“Are you the great man we’ve been waiting for?” “I think I could be,” answers Oscar Diggs (played by James Franco) in Walt Disney Pictures’ Oz The Great and Powerful. Set before The Wizard of Oz, this fantasy adventure delves into the past of the Wizard of Oz. Directed by Sam Raimi, Oz The Great and Powerful stars Franco, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, and Mila Kunis.
 
The Plot:
 
When Oscar Diggs, 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 and powerful wizard but into a better man as well.
