Oz Movie Archives - A Day in Motherhood

See the NEW Oz The Great and Powerful Clip #DisneyOzEvent

I am on pins and needles waiting to go see Oz The Great and Powerful in 3D again on March 8, 2013. The movie was AMAZING when I saw it at the World Premier in Los Angeles last week! It is one you will want to see more than once!

To help get us there while we wait, a new clip has been released! Check it out below:

When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) pulls one flimflam too many, he finds himself hurled into the fantastical Land of Oz where he must somehow transform himself into the great wizard—and just maybe into a better man as well.

My Oz the Great and Powerful World Premier Experience at the Amazing El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood #DisneyOzEvent

As I stepped out of the van with 12 other bloggers onto Hollywood Boulevard, I had to pinch myself. Surely I was in the wrong place. The dress I was wearing was really my typical TShirt and I was home, typing away on my computer, listening to my children play, living the experience in a dream.

But as I walked over star after star on Hollywood Boulevard, a sidewalk I have only seen on television, the reality hit me that I was, in fact, about to walk the Yellow Brick Carpet for the premier of the highly anticipated prequel, Oz The Great and Powerful. And I could not have been more ecstatic!

As I walked to the amazingly beautiful El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, I was taken in with the spectacle I was approaching. The Oz Balloon was on display, marking the event to be as large and colorful as it really was. As we approached, we passed the actual stairs that the stars climb on Oscar night. We could not resist so 25 bloggers click clacked up for a shot of a lifetime. I am way in the back but I don’t care. I have a photo on the stairs of the Dolby Theater where the likes of Katherine Hepburn and Richard Gere and Julia Roberts have walked.

We then headed to the main event. The Red Carpet where the likes of James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, Zack Braff, Joey King and Rachel Weisz were walking and smiling and having their photos done. I was sure that we would miss them all as we waiting for our tickets and badges, but I was thrilled to be there and planned on striking and “who is that crazy girl with the stupid smile’ pose as I sloooowwwwllllyyyy walked the carpet.

Imagine my incredibly surprise as I walked right past Mila Kunis striking a post and one of my favorite actresses on screen today, Michelle Williams looking delicate and regal all at once. I snapped my photos, suppressed my squeals of excitement and savored every moment. Things like this you want to remember when your 90. And I wanted to imprint it deeply. It seemed like the fastest three seconds in my life but must have taken ten to get all the way down and into the amazingly beautiful lobby of the famed El Capitan Theatre.

There was history here and I could sense it all around me. Plush rich colors, architecture from old Hollywood and the classic and regal decor of a theatre that has shown more classic movies than any other I can think of in Hollywood. I settled into the seat that Audrey Hepburn once sat in – well, I have no actual proof, but I just knew – and drank in the amazing sights in front of me.

The beautiful and colorful rich interior boasts an intricate Indian design. At the time it was built, the Theatre was said to have cost $1.2 million to design. Chump change these days, a steep price tag back in 1926. Closing in at 100 years old, the Theatre stands the test of modern tastes with the classic elegance of Hollywood past. If you are in Hollywood and want to experience the amazing film, Oz the Great and Powerful, see it at the El Capitan Theatre and experience it like no where else!

See the NEW OZ The Great and Powerful Trailer

March 8, 2013 may seem far away but the day that OZ The Great and Powerful movie hits theaters is right around the corner. Get a sneak peek at it now with the NEW trailer!

Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When 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—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three 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 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.

“Oz The Great and Powerful” is produced by Joe Roth and written by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire (credit not final). Grant Curtis, Philip Steuer and Palak Patel are serving as executive producers. “Oz The Great and Powerful” opens in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2013.
