The ‘Oz the Great and Powerful‘ promotional machine was in Moscow yesterday pimping the new film, which is set for a US release on March 8. It made it’s world premiere in L.A. last week, so if you missed those red carpet pics, check them here. The film stars James Franco as Oscar Diggs (a.k.a. “The Wizard of Oz”). Mila plays the role of Theodora, Michelle Williams as Glinda, and Rachel Weisz as Evanora.

On a separate topic, how convenient was it that Michelle Williams decided to breakup w/ boyfriend Jason Segel just a week before her new film hits theaters? The Hollywood publicity machine always finds ways to create buzz, so we shouldn’t be all that surprised. Maybe they’re saving the mysteriously “leaked” Mila Kunis nude pics from her cellphone for around March 5th or 6h. Or who knows, maybe Mila & Mr. Douche Bagshton will breakup to further fan the flames of buzz?

While we wait for the next bit of news, check film’s plot:

Raimi’s film is set before the events of the 1939 film. 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 he’s hit the jackpot, with fame and fortune his for the taking… that is, until he meets the witches Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz), and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s 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 really evil before it is too late. Putting his “magical” arts to use through illusion, ingenuity, and even a bit of wizardry, Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.[Source]
