So I just saw a trailer for
Oz: The Great and Powerful (to be released next year) and somehow it escaped me that it's being directed by our beloved Mr. Raimi.
The trailer is visually stunning and quite EPIC but I am skeptical because:
- Disney
- Produced by the same company that did Burton's Alice and Wonderland, which I thought was pretty but ultimately without substance
I'm intrigued, though. It's the kind of thing that I would
like to see succeed as I do enjoy a good fantasy movie (and my Dad read the Oz books to me when I was a wee lass so of course there's the nostalgia element too).
Thoughts? Reactions?
I'd prefer that Raimi go back to his horror roots, but I hope this is enjoyable.
