OZ:THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

Hello!!
Happy New Year again!

Today I'd like to talk about a film which is going to be released on the 7th of March: Oz:the Great and Powerful , directed by Sam Raimi.
I'm becoming very curious about this film for many reasons.

First of all, I love the story of Oz and everything that is related to it: " Over The Rainbow " sung by the incredible Judy Garland is one of my all time favourite songs. It's such a beautiful song and I love to hear it in all its different versions,but this one is definitely the best.


Then I've always liked the plot and I'm curious to see how they will develop it with the Wizard arriving to Oz.
Finally,in this film there are many talented actors and among them there are James Franco and Michelle Williams,who I like very much.

So here is a description of the film according to the official website:

Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. 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.

A lot of promotional images have been released,mainly about the main characters and the landscapes of Oz.













Then recenlty four other images have been released, which allow us to focus on the splendour of the costumes, realised by Gary Jones.


What do you think? Do you like them??

Here is another trailer I found on YouTube:


So? Are you as excited as I am??
I really hope this film won't disappoint me!!!

Thank you for listening and stay tuned.
