2/22 Zach Braff Visits Live with Kelly and Michael to Promote the Film “Oz the Great and Powerful”
Zach Braff paid a visit to the Live with Kelly and Michael show on Tuesday to promote his dual role in the upcoming film, Oz the Great and Powerful. With a backdrop of Cinderella Castle as the show was set this week in Walt Disney World, Braff talked about the two characters he plays in the film after the audience watched a clip of his character Finley.
"Just like The Wizard of Oz, if you remember when Dorothy was in Kansas, people from her other life….morph into characters in the Land of Oz. In Kansas, James Franco plays the Wizard of Oz. I'm his assistant, he's a magician. When we go to this magical land of Oz, I become this little flying monkey that you just saw".
When asked by Kelly Ripa what attracted him to the film, Braff answered, "Well, the director's amazing. Sam Raimi made all the Spiderman movies, and the cast is James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz…it was such a no-brainer why I'd want to be a part of it." Braff continued to say that the film had the best 3D effects he's ever seen.
