Frank Baum (writer), Joe Roth (producer),

Plot: Oscar Diggs ('James Franco' (qv)), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. At first he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking. That all changes, however, when he meets three witches, Theodora ('Mila Kunis' (qv)), Evanora ('Rachel Weisz' (qv)), and Glinda ('Michelle Williams (I)' (qv)), 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.

Quotes:

Cowardly Lion: All right, I'll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch, guards or no guards, I'll tear them apart. I may not come out alive, but I'm going in there. There's only one thing I want you fellows to do.::Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow: What's that?::Cowardly Lion: Talk me out of it!

Auntie Em: Now you go feed those hogs before they worry themselves into anemia!

Miss Gulch: [stopping bicycle and getting off] Gale?::Uncle Henry Gale: Well, howdy, Miss Gulch.::Miss Gulch: [comes into the Gales' yard] I want to see you and your wife right away about Dorothy!::Uncle Henry Gale: Dorothy? Well, what has Dorothy done?::Miss Gulch: What she's done? I'm all but lame from the bite on my leg!::Uncle Henry Gale: Oh! You mean she bit you?::Miss Gulch: No, her dog!::Uncle Henry Gale: Oh, she bit her dog, eh? [Uncle Henry tries to shut the gate, but it hits her on the backside]::Miss Gulch: [exasperated] No!

Dorothy: It really was no miracle. What happened was just this...::Dorothy: [singing] The wind began to switch / The house, to pitch / And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch / Just then the Witch / To satisfy an itch / Went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch!::Munchkin: And, oh, what happened then was rich!::Munchkins: [singing] The house began to pitch / The kitchen took a slich / It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch / Which was not a happy situation for the Wicked Witch!

Dorothy: Now which way do we go?::Scarecrow: Pardon me, this way is a very nice way.::Dorothy: Who said that? [Toto barks at scarecrow] Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk.::Scarecrow: [points other way] It's pleasant down that way, too.::Dorothy: That's funny. Wasn't he pointing the other way?::Scarecrow: [points both ways] Of course, some people do go both ways.

Zeke: [to pigs] Get in there, before I make a dime bank out of you.

Professor Marvel: Better get under cover, Sylvester. There's a storm blowin' up - a whopper, to speak in the vernacular of the peasantry. Poor little kid, I hope she gets home all right.

Cowardly Lion: [noticing the snow that fallen on the poppy field] Unusual weather we're having, ain't it?

Auntie Em Gale: Almira Gulch, just because you own half the county doesn't mean that you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years, I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!

Dorothy: Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh, my!
