Robert Downey Jr Out, Johnny Depp Maybe In for Oz, The Great and Powerful
The Iron Man star has born out of the Oz prequel, and Disney is looking at to Captain Jack Sparrow to fill the void.
Henry M. Robert Downey Jn. was in place to leading in Disney's Oz, The Great and Powerful, a prequel of sorts to the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz. The moving picture tells the whizz's backstory, favourable the magician from his travelling circus career to his empty talk balloon escape valve to the res publica of the Oz. Downey has recently coated out of the project, going The Great and Powerful without its Wizard of Oz. Disney is now eying their stalwart Reb Depp to step into the role.
Even if he doesn't jibe to seem in Oz, Depp bequeath be a busy boy in 2011, as he has Sorry Shadows coming upwardly with frequent collaborator Tim Burton and The Lone Ranger for Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski. Shadows begins shooting this spring, and Ranger, another Disney labor, is not quite a as far along. The Hollywood Newsman notes that "Disney clearly would love for Depp to do some, but if he commits to Oz, that pushes Forest fire fighter back," not to mention the rumored Pirates 5 and 6.
Disney and Depp are creating quite a relationship: He stars as Maitre d'hotel Sea do Dunnock in the studio's wildly flourishing Pirates of the Caribbean films, and helped make Alice in Wonderland as one of the studio's unprecedented three films to gross over one billion dollars last year. Oz, the Great and Powerful will be directed by Sam Raimi (The Ugly Dead, Spider-Man, Drag Me to Hell), but, with this casting setback, has neither a product part date nor a release date.
