While Sam Raimi may be serving as producer on the new Evil Dead remake, his current directing job is a prequel to L. Frank Baum’s book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Titled Oz the Great and Powerful, the film stars James Franco as a small-time magician for a traveling circus with “dubious ethics” who finds himself transported to the land of Oz where he eventually becomes the “Wonderful Wizard” from Baum’s original classic story.

Also starring Rachel Weisz, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, Zach Braff, Abigail Spencer and Joey King – the film just started principal photography in Pontiac, MI this week at Raleigh Michigan Studios. You can read the official plot synopsis (which, by the way, reveals the real name of the “Wizard”) within the press release after the jump!

The final trailer for Rupert Wyatt’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes was unveiled at the San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, which features a montage of action footage from the climactic final act of the film. While the action is cool, I have to say that I was much more impressed with the third trailer that debuted a couple of weeks ago that featured more of the character moments with Caesar, played by Andy Serkis (Gollum, from The Lord of the Rings). If you have not yet seen that trailer, click here to check it out, because I have the feeling that it gives us a better idea of just how great this film could be. If you already have seen it, then hit the jump to view the final, action-packed trailer for the film!

The third production video is now online for The Hobbit films, currently being filmed in New Zealand by Peter Jackson. In the video, the cast and crew talk about their first few months of filming. We get a great, and often times comedic look at all of the dwarves, and we see some great footage of Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins) working with Andy Serkis (Gollum) in Gollum’s cave. The video will be embedded here when it becomes available, but for now, it can be found at The Hobbit Facebook page. This has got to be the best Production Video they’ve released so far, especially since there are a couple of surprise guests that stop by to pay the set a visit! Click here to check out the video!

Update: The video is now embedded below. Hit the jump to watch!

The first trailer for Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man has debuted online a bit early. This is essentially a reboot of the Spider-Man franchise, retelling the origin story of Marvel’s web-slinging superhero. Interestingly enough, the trailer focuses more on Peter Parker’s parents and how Peter came to live with his Aunt and Uncle – something that Sam Raimi‘s Spider-Man films never really elaborated on. I’m not too sure the darker tone they’re going for suits Spider-Man, and the Spider-Man P.O.V. sequence at the end could use a bit more rendering. But, the film does look good, and also different enough from the original 2002 film to make it worth watching. Check out the trailer after the jump!
