<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rachel Weisz is set to play the evil witch in ‘Oz: The Great and Powerful’.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The ‘Constant Gardner’ actress has entered negotiations to star alongside James Franco as the titular wizard and Mila Kunis as her sister Theadora.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rachel would play Evanora, a powerful witch who intends to rule the land and attempts to get her sister on side to help her.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sam Raimi is directing the project, which is being seen as Disney’s take on a prequel to the classic ‘Wizard of Oz’ story about a girl from Kansas who is swept away to the magical Land of Oz<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rachel – who last year announced her split from ‘Black Swan’ director Darren Aronofsky – was last seen in ‘The Lovely Bones’ but has a number of projects coming up.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition to ‘The Deep Blue Sea’, which is released this year, Rachel is also working on Fernando Meirelles’ ‘360’ alongside Jude Law, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Ben Foster.<\/span><\/p>\n
