Robert Downey Jr. to play Oz the Great and Powerful?


Robert Downey Jr. is now the "front runner" to play the Wizard in Oz the Great and Powerful, according the Los Angeles Times. Sam Mendes (American Beauty) and Adam Shankman (Bedtime Stories) are the front runners for the job of director. Oz the Great and Powerful, originally called Brick, is written by Mitchell Kapner. The plot proposes a hypothetical situation in which the Wizard of Oz is transported back to Kansas with Dorothy. The movie will also focus on how the Wizard rose to power in Oz. This movie does sound intriguing. If Robert Downey Jr. plays the Wizard and Sam Mendes directs, this movie could potentially be amazing! However, if Adam Shankman directs, who knows what will happen.
