Walt Disney Pictures and iTunes have revealed the first teaser trailer for next year's Oz: The Great and Powerful. Director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man 2, Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn) brings his bold imagination to this fantasy adventure, which re-imagines the backstory behind the legendary motion picture The Wizard of Oz.
Rather than focus on Dorothy, the character that Judy Garland immortalized in that 1939 screen classic, Raimi's film shifts its attention to the Wizard himself (James Franco, 127 Hours), a traveling inventor and magician who journeys from Kansas to Oz, where he finds himself an unwitting participant in the conflict between Glinda, the Good Witch of the North (Michelle Williams, My Week with Marilyn), and Evanora, the Wicked Witch of the West (Rachel Weisz, The Fountain).
