Franco-mania is coming! "Oz the Great and Powerful" to premiere at PRM's Giant Screen Theater

The Peoria Riverfront Museum has just announced that "Oz the Great and Powerful" will be coming to the Giant Screen Theater on Friday, March 8, 2013. Here's what the movie is about:* James Franco is in some depressing place then puts on a weird hat which creates a tornado time warp sending him to a new land where he finds all kinds of weird creatures including some hot witches who've also starred in big movies. Obviously, the witches are suspicious -- they had seen Franco's performance as co-host of the Academy Awards -- but then Franco waves his hands, makes himself cry on command and gets all wizardy. In the end, his Franco-iness wins the day but then it is revealed that all along he's been in a post-apocalyptic America where apes rule the land and humans are cheap slaves.**

Tickets go on sale Saturday, March 2 at 10 a.m. Movie show times and days are available online at www.PeoriaRiverfrontMuseum.org. The GST has a screen that measures 52 feet tall by 70 feet wide and features RealD 3D, Hollywood’s preferred 3D provider. With the newest and brightest projectors available, visitors take in ultra-sharp, ultra-detailed images. A state-of-the-art audio system with surround sound and stadium seating also enhance the viewing experience.
