Can you count the number of times you've seen the 'Wizard of Oz' movie?

Most of us can recite the dialogue and sing along with every song, but does anyone know where this wonderful wizard came from?

We'll find out next Spring when the prequel comes out, 'Oz: The Great and Powerful.' The trailer premiered recently at Comic Con.

James Franco plays the circus magician who is transported to Oz and becomes it's leader. The movie also features Mila Kunis as the Wicked Witch of the West, Rachel Weisz as the Wicked Witch of the East and Michelle Williams portraying Glinda the Good Witch.

The trailer shows some similarities to the original, it starts out in black and white and turns to color and a tornado is used to transport a character to another world.

Sam Raimi,who did the 'Spiderman' movies, is directing the prequel which is scheduled to hit theaters in March of 2013.
