Walt Disney Picture's OZ The Great and Powerful Teaser Poster

Walt Disney Pictures has released their teaser poster for OZ: The Great and Powerful, directed by Sam Raimi.  Scheduled for release March 8, 2013, OZ is the story of the magical land’s most famous ruler (James Franco) and his journey as he goes from Kansas commoner to the powerful wizard and the bevy of witches he encounters along the way played by Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams and Mila Kunis. The teaser poster seems to show Professor Marvel’s balloon descending upon the emerald city of OZ on the tail end of a blustery storm of turmoil and debris (and a well placed broomstick). What do you think of this teaser and are you looking forward to the film? Leave your comments below.

About OZ: The Great and Powerful: 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.
