Michelle Williams has signed on the dotted line to play Glinda in the Sam Raimi directed OZ, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, which is housed over at Disney. The film already boasts an impressive cast with the likes of James Franco cast as the Wizard, as well as hot properties Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis (BLACK SWAN).
Kunis is playing Dorothy, while Weisz is playing the evil Wicked Witch in the film. Williams’ character Glinda is also known as the White Witch (the good Witch). That’s a lot of ‘witching’.
Shooting on this project kicks off in Michigan in July. Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire wrote the script.
Williams was last seen in the superb BLUE VALENTINE.
