Are you excited to see James Franco as the Wizard of Oz?

What do you think of James Franco starring as the Wizard of Oz, in next year’s release of Oz: The Great and Powerful?

From the producer of “Alice in Wonderland” and the director of the Spider-Man trilogy, the 2013 Disney release imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz.

When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) pulls one flimflam too many, he finds himself hurled into the fantastical Land of Oz where he must somehow transform himself into the great and powerful Wizard—and just maybe into a better man as well.
