Disney is in talks with Rachel Weisz to join James Franco and Mila Kunis in the Sam Raimi-directed Oz: The Great And Powerful. I'm told the Oscar winner will play Evanora, the meaner older witch sister of Theodora (Kunis). Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire wrote the script, and Joe Roth is producing. Production starts in the summer. Weisz is repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners

GLEE GOES OZ
So I Guess There is trouble in Oz and Dorothy A.K.A. (Lea Michelle) is needed! With Glinda’s help, she and Toto return to Oz. Joined by her old friends the Scarecrow(Dan Aykroyd), the Tin Woodman(Kelsey Grammer), the Lion(Jim Belushi) as well as exciting new characters, Dorothy sets out on a perilous journey to stop the crafty Jester(Martin Short) from using the power of the Wicked Witch of the West’s wand to turn the people of Oz into puppets. That seems to be the least of Dorothy’s problems as her travels lead her straight into a treacherous maze, a cave full of very hungry dragons and an evil spell that could destroy the Yellow Brick Road. Dorothy has the daunting knowledge that it is up to her to stop Jester’s terrible plan. Audiences will welcome the return of the old Oz favorites and will love meeting new friends like Tugg a gruff a talking boat and Wiser(Oliver Platt) the owl with an unlucky attraction to molasses. Written in the whimsical style of L. Frank Baum, “Dorothy of Oz” is sure to delight Oz fans old and new as they journey once again into the magical land of OZ.
