Great and Powerful Oz Will Make History

[Alan Smithee]

Hyperbole aside, I'm a big Sam Raimi fan and think his what-are-smoking? audacity in filling in the wizard's story as a prequel will be a great movie. I think Peter Jackson has wrung the Tolkien goose elf to death but Raimi is going to hit the sweet spot with "The Great And Powerful" and, hopefully, direct JLA with Mark Millar mashing it and sickest entertainment ensues. Ya'll know you want it.

From all appearances of the Trailers so far, I would have to agree that this film looks like a hit. And it looks to me from the poster of the wicked witch that was weleased (ahem, released) that the wicked witch we know from the old film will be the role played by spoilers:

Rachel Wiesz

end of spoilers.

I'm also really excited for this movie. MGM's Wizard of Oz was one of the first movies that I saw with my parents as a toddler and I've been an Oz fan ever since. I enjoy the Wizard of Oz comics from Marvel and Scottie Young along with SyFy's mini-series Tinman. I've also shared the new trailer for Oz: The Great and the Powerful with my sister and father and they're also excited for the movie. I'm also a Sam Raimi fan.

Since Disney and Marvel are now together I wonder if they will release a Oz: The Great and the Powerful prequel comic like they did for The Prince of Persia movie.

Only if Scottie Young draws it

No, a lot of guys on this forum are attracted to green chicks. I'm more into Beast Boy and Hulkling myself but I digress.

I'm curious if it being Disney will have any nods to "Return to Oz"? That was a pretty cool/freaky sequel of sorts that they did.

I don't want Mark Millar within a million miles of the JLA movie. Raimi? I dunno. I doubt he'd be interested.

If you know the classic names then you'd know that Wiesz will be playing the spoilers:

future wicked witch of the east (the one who gets Dorothy's house dropped on her) Evanora, while Mila Kunis will be playing the future wicked witch of the west Theodora, the one who gets melted by water in the Judy Garland version of the Oz universe. I've read some plot synopsis' that state that Wiesz is the big bad for this movie, but toward the end of the movie tables turn and Theodora

end of spoilersbecomes the green witch we all know and love.

I've always been amused by the posters who go on blog forums where pretty much everything is about spoilers etc. but demand for spoiler tags, as opposed to you know simply NOT reading the thread in the first place. But oh well, here's your spoiler tag.

Uhm... Spoiler tags? Yeesh!

Oddly enough I've always found some kind of hidden beauty from the original wicked witch underneath all that wickedness.

Horror movie for sure but a superhero film. No, no, and no.
