  • In 2013 Sam Raimi decided to try something a little out of his wheelhouse of horror or comic book movies and directed a Wizard of Oz prequel focusing on the great and powerful wizard. Starring James Franco (RIP), Michelle Williams, Milla Kunis and Rachel Weisz it details his arrival into the mystical land, the origin of the Wicked Witch of the West and how the wizard has always been a dog of a bloke. Not a bad one to be honest. Anyways, thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

    Fun story about this movie: i went to see it in theaters with my gf and it was release day and we were a little early. Bought the tickets, went to the door, went to walk in and a group of what I can only describe as Oz fanatics stopped us and said "uh, there's a line!" And it was probably about 5 people all in Wizard of Oz clothes just hanging out near the door. So we apologized and stood behind them until an usher led us all in. When the movie began, the only people in the audience were the 5 Oz superfans and us. They appeared dejected when the movie ended. I still think about that frequently.

    I'm still convinced that James Franco's role as the Wizard was written for Bruce Campbell (it is basically the perfect part for him) and the studios wanted to go for a younger, more recognizable face.

    When this movie was being made, there was a big push in Michigan for film studio incentives, and there was all this hype around it, like Michigan could be the next big thing in film making. So they built this huge studio in Pontiac, MI, and that's where this was filmed. During filming, they invited some state representatives to come and visit the set, to try and gain their support. I happen to be related to one of those representatives (first cousin once removed lol), and knowing that I was a big fan of film and animation, he reached out to see if I wanted to go with him. So I got to tour the whole place, walking right on to some of the sets. I was in a throne room with gold scattered everywhere, a dark forest with ten foot tall mushrooms, and a huge open warehouse like space, where they had the air balloon suspended on a wire that could "fly" across the set.
    At one point, we were standing just outside one of the sets, with around ten of the film-crew. A door opens, and Rachel Weisz walks out. She had just finished a scene, so she's in full wardrobe, looks incredible, and of course, everyone just turns to stare at her..
    She gave us an awkward, "Hey, guys!" 🙂
    We responded, "Hi..." 🥴
    Then she was swiftly taken away by golf cart.
    All in all, it was really fun experiencing something like that happening right here in my home state. Unfortunately, the incentives were cut when Snyder took office (same guy that was at least partially responsible for the Flint water crisis - great guy), and the Michigan film industry pretty much died after that.

    With regard to Oz the Great and Powerful - The Thing is one of my favorite movies. It has probably the best dog actor i’ve ever seen. It walks down a hallway, pauses and looks in each door - like an alien trying to figure things out. Basically, displaying uncharacteristically somber behavior for a dog.

    • @amityislandchum
      @amityislandchum Місяць тому

      Time for The Trivia! That's because it was a wolf-dog hybrid. The crew and actors all raved about how much better it was as an actor than a regular dog, because it would hit its marks and complete its directions so perfectly as to almost be robotic.
      The fact that it was a wolf-dog also caused all of the other dogs in the film (who were Siberian Huskies) to be naturally wary of it. In the scene where the ThingDog is first put into the kennel and lays down while the other dogs move away from it, looking terrified -- no training was given to the Huskies! They were actually just that uncomfortable with the wolf-dog.
      The wolf-dog's name was "Jed" and also starred in the "White Fang" movies! :)

    I remember really liking this film with the exception of James, Mila and why the witch turnes wicked. If they had Rachel Weisz as the Wicked Witch and Bruce Campbell as Oz along with giving her more agency as to why she turnes and not have it be she got tricked by her sister because a boy broke her heart it would have worked so much better. Having said that the ending to this film is great... and powerful.

That's a fun fact that I don't know how I know, but it feels kind of on-theme with the discussion about MGM owning the Wicked Witch's specific shade of green. If only the boys, or one of the boys knew about Milka and could make this comparison.

    It truly is a shame that whenever people talk about The Wizard of Oz, and other adjacent films, nobody EVER mentions The Wiz. And maybe I'm very attached to the movie because I'm African-American and it's a staple project within the Black community, but even aside from that, The Wiz was a technically impressive film within its own right. The music was incredible (which is to be expected when you have both Michael Jackson and Diana Ross playing the leads), the sets (especially the set piece under the Twin Towers which doubled for the Emerald City) were awe inspiring and the alternate take on the world is darkly beautiful with an urban twist.
    I wish UA-camrs would give more shine to The Wiz, because it truly deserves it (especially over films like Oz, the Great and Powerful). But I know they never will.

    Loved this breakdown - I always enjoyed this film. It's very Raimi, and I'll always take more Raimi in the world (and ... he's sorta stretching his aesthetic a bit? Taking some interesting risks, having been given some good funds to play with for the effects and overall production design), And, it was a shame Franco died when he did, cos he does show some good range in this, more than I'd seen him do in any other of his films. You're so right about Williams being so deeply wholesome and GOOD - she makes it way more than just one note - her glowing goodness and powerful innocence is so deep it's actually scary! Kunis - great as always. I wish she was in more films. I even watch Jupiter Ascending because of her!
