    James Franco Up for Oz: The Great & Powerful

    DateSat, February 5, 2011

    James Franco is trying to become the 1990s era Johnny Depp.

    Think back those of you old enough to remember. Few of Depp's films during that time were rocking the box-office charts. But people looked on in curiosity. There was no way to gage what he was going to do next. Same thing going on with Franco these days.

    As per Heat Vision, his journey continues as Disney is eyeing the soon-to-be Oscar host for Oz: The Great & Powerful for the title role. He doesn't jump to mind for a big $200 million tentpole. But again neither did Depp for Pirates of the Caribbean, and see how well that worked out.

    Talks between Franco and the studio are so early at this stage he hasn't even met with his former Spider-Man helmer Sam Raimi just yet. So this could easily fall apart.
