I'll Get You My Pretty....

"I'll get you my pretty....and your little dog too!"

(cackle, cackle) Does that movie line even need to be credited? I mean who among the living has not seen "The Wizard of Oz" ?!
Well guess what's blowing in on the wicked North Wind in March of 2013? (Assuming we have not all perished from this earth in the great 2012 Mayan Apocalypse of course) We will be treated to the latest adaptation of the much beloved movie classic, ala Disney Pictures...."Oz, The Great and Powerful"! "This new take on L. Frank Baum's beloved stories comes at us from director Sam Raimi and stars James Franco as Oz, Michelle Williams as Glinda the Good, Mila Kunis as Theodorah, the Wicked Witch of the West and Rachel Weisz as her sister Evanora." It explores "How the Wizard arrived in Oz and became the ruler. A prequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."
No, folks...we're not in Kansas anymore with this re-telling. "Raimi's Oz isn't the same one we know from Victor Fleming's classic "Wizard of Oz" film and certainly doesn't look as kind a setting. From the haunting music to the dangerous creatures, this Oz doesn't seem like it's going to be a friendly place for our favorite man behind the curtain."
Ooohh! Sounds and looks frighteningly fabulous! I especially love the 'Olde Carnivale' feel of the trailer. Can't wait to see this one. And apparently there are 3 witches this time around....Glinda, Theodora and Evanora! Here is the storyline as taken from the IMDb website....

"Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. At first he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking. That all changes, however, when 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."

It's got Witches in it....so that alone means I'll go see it! Hope you all have a great weekend!
