At some point today, we’re going to get a trailer for Oz: The Great and Powerful, the highly-anticipated film that asks the question: “Hey, how did that dude behind the curtain get to run that crazy land anyway?” Starring James Franco and directed by Sam Raimi, the prequel to the classic, The Wizard of Oz, introduces us to Oscar Biggs, who is whisked away to the magical land and decides that he can really make a difference by conning everyone into thinking he’s a wizard.
Standing in his way, though, are the three witches – played by Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, and Michelle Williams – and they’re not really buying his BS. Williams will play Glinda the Good Witch, and I’m predicting that Weisz will play the Wicked Witch. That leaves Kunis as, I’m guessing, the Smoking Hot Witch. At least that’s how my whole casting process would go. That’s not to take anything away from Weisz, who is also quite the looker, but she’s had a kid, so I assume she’s cranky.
Speaking of Kunis, here’s a clip of her talking about Oz. I’d probably watch her talk about paint drying. And after the jump, you can check out Entertainment Tonight’s rehind behind-the-scenes look at the film, which hits theaters next March.
UPDATE, MY PRETTIES: Here’s the trailer for Oz.
(H/T to The Daily What.)



I don’t know, Kunis seems way less hot now that she’s dating that retarded buffoon Kutcher. Like an oh-shit-that-hot-chick-has-a-dead-puppy-tied-to-her-head level of offensiveness.
She’s dating Kutcher?
Oh, honey, no. You are way too cute and charming for that d-bag.
I’m not so sure that we need another grown up Oz prequel when we already have Wicked, but this could be okay…? Maybe somebody finally figured out a way to make something darker without going all generic ~dark and edgy~
Hmm, this is probably the first time I’ve heard Franco speak where he’s completely lucid, down to earth, and dare I say, reasonably intelligent. I’m so warped by Dicknose that I kept waiting for him to pull a jar containing each of his toenail clipping with the words “10 Francs” written in a highlighter on the side.
“Well uh…this is the centerpiece of my new exhibit premiering at Agora this fall. I also have an exhibit where I took 3400 pictures of my taint from slightly different angles and arranged them in such a way that when viewer’s eyes adjust, they can see its a recreation of Picasso’s Guernica. You know, but with taints instead of paints. Oh…I have to write that one down.”
Never mind Oz, what’s with this Vawlerie Walery? I had no idea my penis spoke broken English.
I hope they keep it true to the books. Why only three witches? There should be four! Wicked and MGM have really warped people’s vision of Oz so much we can’t even get a proper reboot!
Did…errr…did anyone understand a single word she just said? Cause I don’t want to be all xenophobic, and I may have started drinking heavily at lunch, or just before, but WE SPEAK ENGLISH IN THIS COUNTRY WOMAN! IF YOU CAN’T BOTHER TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE AT LEAST TAKE OFF YOUR TO….whoa, whoa, whoa there, sorry about that. I meant to say, welcome to the land of plenty my lady.
Yonna Hoxha was a hero in the Albanian resistance mov… what’s that, John Hawkes? Never mind.
Sounds like Mila Kunis is playing the Wicked Witch of the West, given how she refers to the character’s “iconic” status. Now, I know Burnsy didn’t specify which Wicked Witch Rachel Weisz would be playing as it pertains to a compass rose AND I don’t want to be the guy to start another Burnsy pile-on, but I have to ask…
Burnsy, which witch is which?
Where the hell is Adebise? This looks like it’s going to be terrible.
This looks like a dammed Nancy show to me.
