The film will be a telling of the tale of the wizard and how he came to be the great man of Oz.
The blurb:
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 and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

From the Visionary Director of the Spider-Man Trilogy...
ReplyDeleteNothing against Sam Raimi, but what makes him so "Visionary"? I remember the posters for "Watchmen" also described as being from "The Visionary Director of 300". Do we just use the term "visionary" to describe someone whose movies employ a number of special effects?
