Disney has commissioned a sequel to Oz The Great And The Powerful, according to a report. Show
Oz The Great And The Powerful opens in cinemas today (March 8) and is conceived as a kind of prequel to 1939’s classic The Wizard Of Oz starring Judy Garland. In the new movie, James Franco stars as Oscar Diggs aka The Wizard Of Oz, while Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis play witches of varying degrees of goodness.  Mitchell Kapner, who co-wrote the Great And The Powerful script with David Lindsay-Abaire, was hired “several months ago” to pen a follow-up, Variety reports. Plot details are currently unknown, though Kipner will be able to draw inspiration from L Frank Baum’s classic children’s book The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz, upon which the Judy Garland film is based. However, anything added to the story by the makers of the 1939 movie will be off limits,
Variety points out, because Warner Bros owns the rights to it. Logo text With expectations of a box-office bonanza this weekend, Disney is already planning a sequel to Oz the Great and Powerful, THR has confirmed. Mitchell Kapner has been hired to write a script for the follow-up, which would continue the adventures of Oz, played by James Franco. PHOTOS: ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’: How Sam Raimi Brought the Legend Back to Life Kapner came up with the concept and ideas for the origin story of Oz, basing it on the classic L. Frank Baum books, pitching it to producer Joe Roth, who set it up at Disney, and writing the initial drafts. He shares screenwriting credit with David Lindsay-Abaire, who came on board later in the process. Roth would be back as producer. The movie stars Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams. Sam Raimi directed the fantasy tentpole, which, despite getting lukewarm reviews, is tracking to open at in the $80 million to $90 million range this weekend. That should go a long way toward off-setting the mega-budget, which was far north of $200 million. Before Oz, Kapner wrote The Whole Nine Yards and Days of Wrath, and also worked on the action movie Romeo Must Die. He is repped by Gersh and Fineman Entertainment. Planning for sequels to tentpoles has become increasingly the norm in Hollywood, with movies ranging from Snow White and Huntsman to comedies such as the Hangover series engaging in the practice.
