ET's Mark Steines spent time exploring the incredible, imaginative production of the Sam Raimi film — with 28 different sets occupying seven sound stages in Detroit — and talked with Mila Kunis, who plays one of the film's three witches, and Oz himself, James Franco!

"In the original L. Frank Baum books there are many witches and creatures, many more than were in the original [Wizard of Oz]," says James. "This Oz is a little different. You get to see a lot more of who this Oz is... The search for [his heart] is one of the main themes of this movie."

"I do think it captures the magic of the original," says Mila, who read Baum's Oz books as a child in Russia. "But it's completely different. In my opinion, a little bit darker, a little more grounded. There is no singing, there is no dancing."
