Oz the Great and Powerful

I was very excited to see the trailer for new Disney film Oz the Great and Powerful this morning.   The Wizard of Oz is my all time favourite film so this  is a definate 'must see' for me.

Synopsis

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.

Set for release on 8th March 2013, the film is from the producers of Alice in Wonderland and the  visionary director of the Spiderman Trilogy, so it is sure to be a blockbuster.  I for one cannot wait to see it.
