    Dunno. This is making it seem like him and Dorothy got to Oz at the same time in the twister (check the house following his balloon). The movie made it seem like Oz had been there for a long-ass time to gather up his power base. Or maybe I'm remembering wrong.

    Either way, I'm checking for it.

    I think this movie is based more on the books, which are pretty different from the original movie....I think? And this is a prequel.

    It was a tornado in a residential area. That wasn't necessarily Dorothy's house, could of been the Wizard's house or just some random house caught in the twister's wake.

    Movie does look pretty good though. It's a good idea for a movie too. Surprisingly, as many times as I've seen the Wizard of Oz, I've never considered a movie detailing the Wizard's past.

    When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’? the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz), and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

    Pretty sure that the house is included either as a simple homage, or as some Star Trek style temporal distortion where anyone transported to OZ can look around inside the tornado and see other travelers to Oz, past and future.

    yeah, the movie was just the first book, ? don't know there was 14 books.......Oz was a fully fleshed out world w/ history, geopolitics, Socialist economy, etc. and Dorothy's gang was out chea droppin bodies lol. It really does have more in common w/ LotR & Narnia than the film would have you believe.
