Sam Raimi has officially committed to directing Disney’s Oz: The Great and Powerful, a prequel to The Wizard of Oz. This basis of the movie will be “an origin story about the infamous Wizard of Oz” and will be “following his story from the time he was a circus wrangler on earth to his crazy fantastical journey via a tornado to Oz.” Robert Downey Jr. is rumored to be playing the Wizard of Oz, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. The film is set to be released in 2013 in 3-D.

I really hope they do this well. The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies, and I’d love to see a good prequel for once.
