2 TV Spots for Sam Raimi’s Oz The Great and Powerful

Sam Raimi’s Oz The Great & Powerful is due out in March this year, & after a stunning first trailer back in the summer, it’s been one to look forward to ever since.

With just over two months to go before it hits the huge screen, Disney have more recently given us a brilliant new trailer back in November, followed by a familiar face in a new poster last month. And in celebration of the New Year, the studio have released two TV spots to get the anticipation rolling for Raimi’s latest blockbuster.

“When Oscar Diggs, 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 & fortune are his for the taking – that is until he meets three witches, Theodora, Evanora & Glinda, who are not convinced he is the tremendous wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz & its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is satisfactory & who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity – & even a bit of wizardry – Oscar transforms himself not only into the tremendous & powerful Wizard of Oz yet into a better man as well.”

James Franco tops a brilliant cast, starring alongside Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, Zach Braff (who moreover lends his voice in a dual role), Abigail Spencer, Tim Holmes, & Joey King.

Raimi is directing from a script by Mitchell Kapner (The Whole Nine Yards) & David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole), with Danny Elfman (Spider-Man) once more taking scoring duties for the director.

Oz The Great & Powerful will be released in 3D & IMAX 3D in the UK & US on 8th March, 2013, which is unquestionably going to be a date you ought to commit to memory. This is going to be brilliant. For now, here are the two new TV spots to enjoy. Happy New Year.
