A few sources that have seen the film have confided to me that Sam Raimi's
Oz: The Great and Powerful is actually a really good movie, although I still remain skeptical based on my abhorrence to a film that relies so heavily on computer-generated characters in key roles. But, these are trusted sources so I tend to believe what they are saying. As for the pictures below, I am intrigued to see Michelle Williams in a black and white image with James Franco. So we'll see her in a scene or more in Kansas, and not just the Land Of Oz. The second image is more of a
spoiler as it shows her two sisters, Theodora (Mila Kunis) and Evanora (Rachel Weisz), about to attack a defenseless Glinda. Them witches be bitches.

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. The film lands in theaters March 8, 2013!
