Extended Movie Clip and Music Video for OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

"Oz the Great and Powerful" is currently enjoying a very successful theatrical run, but that hasn't stopped Disney from keeping the marketing machine going. So, today we have an extended clip from the film, which shows us a little too much of James Franco's arrival in the land of Oz. And, we also have a music video for Mariah Carey's song "Almost Home" which was written for the movie. Directed by Sam Raimi, "Oz the Great and Powerful" stars James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz.

New Trailers and Clip for OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

A new trailer, TV spot and movie clip for "Oz the Great and Powerful" have all been released today. The two trailers insist on aggresivley marketing the movie as a full blown action epic that seems to have more in common with this week's "Jack the Giant Slayer" than "The Wizard of Oz". Directed by Sam Raimi, the movie stars James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz. "Oz the Great and Powerful" opens on March 8, in 3D.

3 New Clips for OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

Three new movie clips have been released for the epic Disney movie "Oz the Great and Powerful". The clips show off the colourful visual effects and art direction of this prequel to "The Wizard of Oz" and I'm sure the movie will be a dazzling spectacle. I'm just not very sure it was entirely necessary. Directed by Sam Raimi, the movie stars James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz. "Oz the Great and Powerful" opens on March 8, in 3D.

Behind-the-Scenes Featurette for OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

The new behind-the-scenes featurette for "Oz the Great and Powerful" provides a detailed look into the incredible epic process of creating the world of Oz. Actually, they just sort of brag about how epic the whole thing is. The featurette doesn't offer too much behind-the-scenes details. The cast and crew tease some of the conceptual ideas about the sets, make-up, costumes, visual effects and last, but (hopefully) not least, the story. The film is directed by Sam Raimi ("Spider-Man" trilogy) and stars James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz. "Oz the Great and Powerful" opens on March 8, in 3D.

3 New TV Spots for OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

Michelle Williams as Glenda in Oz the Great and Powerful

A series of 3 new TV spots for Sam Raimi's "Oz the Great and Powerful" have been released and they tease the awesomeness of the prequel which stars James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz. So far it looks impressive, but it could turn out to be just another CGI-fest with no substance, just another attempt to cash in on the popularity of reimagining classic stories (e.g. "Alice in Wonderland", "Snow White and the Huntsman").

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (2013) - 5 New Posters

Official Synopsis: 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.

"Oz The Great and Powerful" is produced by Joe Roth and written by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire. Grant Curtis, Philip Steuer and Palak Patel are serving as executive producers.

Release Date: March 8, 2013 (US)
