Disney Corp’s supersized Wizard of Oz prequel trailer just appeared and while it is tempting to compare it to the recent Tim Burton helmed Alice in Wonderland, the more apt comparison, I think is the Naria series. You could still see the Burton-isms all over his foray into Disney tentpole territory, however, I fail to see (at least from trailer below) how this is actually a Sam Raimi film. I must admit to a distinct lack of curiosity as to how a con-man conjurer tricks his way into being Oz the Great and the Powerful, that wasn’t adequate in its implication from the 1939 MGM version of the story. I hope there is something sinister or wonderful beyond the vanilla over-baked CGI surface here.
