Oz: The Great and Powerful - New Theatrical Trailer

Walt Disney Pictures has issued a new theatrical trailer for director Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful, due in theaters in 3D and 2D early next year. The film's latest trailer reveals some of the finer points of screenwriters Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire story, which weaves the origin tale of L. Frank Baum's beloved Emerald City wizard. Raimi's The Wizard of Oz prequel makes its U.S. theatrical debut on March 8, 2013.

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 has 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 a great and powerful wizard but into a better man as well.
