Oz The Great And Powerful reaches cinemas on March 8th, and Disney is keen that we don’t forget that, releasing a new poster for the movie, featuring Rachel Weisz as a green-skinned evil witch called Evanora. Previous pics have shown that she’s got a more normal hue for at least parts of the film, so presumably the movie will show us how she goes green.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Disneys fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful, directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baums 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 hes hit the jackpotfame and fortune are his for the takingthat 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 everyones 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, ingenuityand even a bit of wizardryOscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.’
