Released in 2013 and running long at 130 minutes,Disney studios has filmed a life action/animation "prequel"to the classic 1939 "Wizard of Oz ",reviewed on this blog,and I'm quite conflicted about THAT and the films storyline as well.The casting is just ok as is the acting but the FX is worthy and well,darn,Dorothy DID dream it all didn't she?? So how could there be a prequel without her character??Anyhow there is enough to hold some interest.Still see for yourself,its worth one view at least.Trailer follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.
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. Written by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
