There have been many film remakes this year, from SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN to THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. However, OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL is not going to be a remake of the 1939 classic, THE WIZARD OF OZ. Instead, the film is about Oz himself and his mysterious journey from a circus in Kansas to an interesting and magical land over the rainbow.
This movie will be directed bySam Raimi and stars Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, Mila Kunis, Zach Braff and James Franco. Although this film is not a remake, there is familiar imagery that you can probably pick out from looking at the movie poster, including the famous yellow brick road and the glimmering Emerald City in the distance.
Expect to see this interesting film in March 2013. In the meantime, what do you think about Raimi’s twist on the classic? Are you excited to see the movie? Tell us what you think!
