Movie Poster of the Day: In the upcoming prequel to the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz, James Franco stars as Oscar Diggs, “a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics” who finds himself in the Land of Oz, where he thinks he’s hit the jackpot. That is, until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who aren’t convinced he’s the great wizard everyone’s been expecting.

Oz: The Great and Powerful is out March 8, 2013.

Marketing Campaign of the Day: As if it weren’t enough that North Carolina already doesn’t recognize same-sex unions, the state votes next Tuesday on a ballot measure that reads: “Constitutional amendment to provide that marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized by this State.”

This ad campaign, by Winston-Salem agency The Variable, plays on segregation-era discrimination to shock voters into voting down the offensive legislation, called Amendment 1: “On May 8th, make history. Don’t repeat it.”

Yes, please.

You Bet Your Soul of the Day: The Game Show Network announced today that it has tapped Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? host and redneck taxonomist Jeff Foxworthy to present a bible-themed quiz show called The American Bible Challenge.

According to GSN’s press release, the show is “designed to acknowledge and celebrate the Bible’s continuing importance in contemporary life and culture,” and will feature teams of contestants representing “worthy faith-based organizations.”

Chiming in, Foxworthy said The American Bible Challenge offers an “opportunity to present the Bible in a fun and entertaining way.” 

The show is being produced for GSN by RelativityREAL, a company best known for producing the arguably illegal Showtime reality series Gigolos.
