[volfan6782]

Here's the first trailer for Oz The Great and Powerful. It's a prequel of the Wizard of Oz. Doesn't look too bad.

Yep, a lot of folks do not know that. Stay on the yellow brick (gold) road. Dorothy's slippers were originally silver.

The Emerald City is a farce...green shaded glasses made everything appear green...the illusion of fiat money.

Just saw a clip on Leno.

Ehhhhh I'll wait for it on DVD. The clip really made me not want to see it.

I had a college professor who taught american history from the 1860's to the 1910's using the Wizard of Oz as an allegory. it was some pretty good stuff to be honest.

I read this is the first of NINE Oz adaptations headed to theaters. I'm unclear if they are part of a single series or if different studios are making various versions.

I wonder when we get to Dorothy, who will play her? Emma Stone? :lol:

I just don't think James Franco is a good fit here. I haven't seen it, and maybe when I do I'll change my mind, but to me, he's not this kind of actor. He makes me uncomfortable in the trailers. Anyone seen this?

there is also a scene where one of the set riggers is killed while filming is taking place, if you pay attention, you will see him hang himself

I always thought that was an urban legend. Kind of like the ghost boy behind the curtain in Threemen and a Baby.

For those interested I just noticed there is a Temple Run: Oz game that was just released for iOS and Android. Graphics look nice but I don't want to pay for another endless runner when so many other ones (including the original Teme Run) is free.

I think that's been debunked, but not 100% sure

perhaps so, but if you watch the scene in question, it looks as if someone accidentally hangs themself

I thought it was confirmed that it wasn't a suicide.

Saw the movie today in 3D. It wasn't half bad and I'm no fan of any of the actors in it either.

 

[Vols520]

Terrible. It's a kids movie.

Franco is so bad and Kunis sucks also. She is hot though.

Made by Disney... What were you expecting?

Complete urban myth.

You are right.

Franco was horrible...but I thought Mila did a good job, made her character believable....the visual effects were amazing in 3D but some scenes almost made me a little sick....the waterfall scene esp...I think we were sitting too close though..
