[glow=red,2,300]Oz The Great And Powerful[/glow] - Sam Raimi

> Sam Raimi’s film that digs into the origins of the Wizard Of
Oz is due next March. And the first poster has just turned up…
>
> Interestingly, just as The Amazing Spider-Man is opening in
cinemas, Disney chooses this moment to release the first poster
for one of its upcoming films, Oz The Great And Powerful. It’s
interesting because Raimi was originally going to making
Spider-Man 4 for Sony, having directed the previous three, but
that was before the studio delayed the return of Spidey for a
year, and went with Marc Webb’s reboot instead. Which came out
this week.
>
> Still, Oz The Great And Powerful, which explores the origins
of the Wizard of Oz, looks really quite strong. The cast
includes Mila Kunis, James Franco, Rachel Weisz, Michelle
Williams and Zach Braff, and with the release of this poster, we
wonder if a teaser trailer might not be too far behind….

[glow=red,2,300]New ‘Oz: The Great and Powerful’ Poster Takes
the Kitchen-Sink Approach, With Hideous Results[/glow]
--- Quote ---
> One of the most intirguing aspects of Sam Raimi‘s Oz: The
Great and Powerful has been its eye-popping aesthetic. Earlier
posters and the trailer were filled with dazzling color and lush
landscapes — which, okay, were more than a little reminiscent of
Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, thanks to the involvement of
production designer Robert Stromberg. But the visuals weren’t
really the big problem with that movie.
>
> The latest poster retains the same fairy tale feel, but then
cranks it up way, way too high. There’s a little bit of
everything here, from flying monkeys to teapot houses and a fat,
happy munchkin, but the slapdash way they’re thrown together
makes the poster makes it look less like a professional piece of
work than a slapdash collage assembled by a hyperactive kid
emulating Lisa Frank.

I'm so sick of ugly-ass posters, I haven't seen anything I want
to hang on my wall in years-- and I'm in need of some new
display.
Saw the trailer in 3D today for the first time in front of
Wreck-It-Ralph, and it was... mokay. Saw it before, but it just
looks like Alice in Wonderland. Which I didn't care for. Plus
I'm still so over prequels and being the chosen one who's got to
save the strange new land he's stumbled into and so on.

I feel like I've seen all the creatures before. Nothing here
looks new or particularly exciting, and while it may be
old-fashioned, it's not like "it was always there and we never
knew it" like I feel it should be.
All I'll say, and this thought keeps popping up when I hear
about new movies, is "we're making 20th century movies in a 21st
century world."

If it weren't for the fact that they say right up from that this
is a Sam Raimi film, I would have guessed this was another Tim
Burton production. I'm really not sold on this yet. A lot of eye
candy for sure, but it's gonna come down to story and
characters. I think this is a wait and see approach for me. Will
wait till the reviews start pouring in from film-goers (not paid
critics). I know I won't see this in the theater, but will put
this on the maybe for 'Waiting For DVD' list.
