Michelle Williams to Star in Sam Raimi's 'Oz: The Great and Powerful'

Talk about a hell of a cast for a Sam Raimi / Disney magical Wizard of Oz re-imagining. Variety is reporting that Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain, Synecdoche New York, Blue Valentine) has been cast as Glinda, the good witch, in Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful, in the works at Walt Disney Pictures. As the good witch, she will face off against her evil sisters, played by Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis, in a power struggle for control of the magical land of Oz. In addition, James Franco is set to play the snake oil salesman who becomes the great Wizard of Oz. Shooting on the massive fantasy film will begin in July in Michigan.

This project has been in the works at Disney for a few years, but it looks like they've finally pushed hard enough to get this into production before any of the other Wizard of Oz related ...
