Disney has released poster art for "Oz: The Great and Powerful," a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz" that's scheduled to premiere in theaters on March 8, 2013.
The film is directed by none other than Sam Raimi, (of the "Spider-Man" franchise), who knows a thing or two about big movies. James Franco signed on to play Oz, with Michelle Williams appearing as Glinda and Rachel Weisz as Evanora, and Mila Kunis as Theodora. The budget for this one is reportedly $200 million, so expectations are high. I don't know about you, but I can't wait. The potential for hit or miss seems equally great. But hey, that only adds to the suspense.
