Did Entertainment Weekly spoil the ending of

The upcoming “Wizard of Oz” prequel film “Oz the Great and Powerful” features three new characters, all witches — played by Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, and Mila Kunis — all of whom, based on the trailer, seem to play for the side of good.

Entertainment Weekly, though, may have spoiled the suspense as to which of them grows up to be the Wicked Witch of the West, with a cover featuring the recognizable face of one of the three under garish green makeup. (Click at your peril — or if you don’t care about the plot twists of “Oz.”)

A look at the film’s IMDB page, though, reveals that “Oz the Great and Powerful” isn’t being overly protective with its plot secrets: one actress is listed as playing a dual role, both a good witch and “Wicked Witch of the West,” while another ends up playing Glinda the good witch.

In early February, an Entertainment Weekly headline gave away the identity of a key character in the upcoming “Star Trek” film — a character whose identity is believed to be an important revelation in the film.

  • In Gezi Park since March 31st, this protester, originally caught off-guard by the Government’s teargas and water cannons, went out and bought a Russian army mask from WWII, preparing for what was to come.

  • This rambunctious boy seems to be enjoying the chaos. After taking this picture he threw a stone at the already destroyed building in the background.

  • Forming a line, the police face off directly with protesters in Taksim Square. After a while, they retreated and there was a general cheer – a back-and-forth dance that has been common since the beginning of this protest.

  • An elderly woman in Gezi Park reads the news. The tent community occupying the park was violently destroyed on June 16th.

  • Many different groups had set up booths to promote their cause in Taksim Square and Gezi Park. Standing in front of one, this man waves his flag while posing with conviction.

  • Many home-remedies are used to minimize the effects of tear gas. This woman has put a milky solution on her face, removing her mask after the tear gas dissipated. Before sunrise, the police came again for another round of teargasing.

  • People capitalize on the uprising -- selling flags, beer, gas masks, sky lanterns and spray paint to name just a few of the popular items.

  • The authorities seem to be most aggressive in the night, pushing protesters away from the square and park. After being teargassed this young woman catches her breath with other protesters on Siraselviler Street.
