‘Oz the Great’ at Majestic
View(s):‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ American fantasy adventure film will be released at Superior, Majestic Cineplex from Friday, March 22. Based on L. Frank Baum’s Oz novels, the film is directed by Sam Raimi. Produced by Joe Roth, and written by David Lindsay-Abaire and Mitchell Kapner, the film tells the story of a small-time magician who arrives in an enchanted land and is forced to decide if he will be a good man or a great one. It stars James Franco as Oscar Diggs, Mila Kunis as Theodora, Rachel Weisz as Evanora and Michelle Williams as Glinda.
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.
‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ serves as a spiritual prequel set 20 years before Baum’s 1900 introductory novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and indirectly to the 1939 MGM film, The Wizard of Oz. ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ is a Walt Disney Pictures release.
