James Franco and Mila Kunis have officially joined Sam Raimi's Oz, the Great and Powerful. Franco will be seen next on screen in the fantasy film Your Highness, followed by another sci-fi fantasy-prequel-sequel-beginnings story, the Rise of the Apes.



From coming soon.net,
"Walt Disney Pictures confirmed today to ComingSoon.net.,
Both recently rumored to star, Kunis will play a witch, Theodora, and Franco the titular lead in the Sam Raimi film, a prequel to the 1939 The Wizard of Oz. Robert Downey Jr. was originally slated to play Franco's part (the Wizard from the original film, who winds up in Oz following a balloon accident) but he left the project a few months ago."
