The Oscar-nominated host of the Academy Awards is in early talks to star in Oz, the Great and Powerful , Disney’s prequel-ish take on The Wizard of Oz tale being directed by Sam Raimi . The Oz role has been a hot one since Robert Downey Jr . fell out two and a half weeks ago. Johnny Depp was then in discussions for the role but after several meetings ultimately passed last night. Franco may be, at first blush, an odd choice to topline the tale of a young illusionist with a grandiose attitude who is forced to flee a traveling circus. His hot air balloon is swept up by a tornado to the land of Oz, which is run by two magical wicked witches. But from acting pinned to a rock in 127 Hours to a cameo as a drug lord in Green Hornet to his stint on General Hospital, Franco is showing he is not following anyone’s playbook, but his own. Sources caution that no dealmaking has begun and many issues would need to be ironed out, but if the stars align, Franco would be back working with Rai

Movement is beginning again on the long-in-development adaptation of Elmore Leonard‘s “ Freaky Deaky ” with a new actress boarding the project. The Playlist has learned that Camilla Belle (”10,000 B.C.,” “From Prada to Nada”) is attached to star in the film, with reps for the actress confirming her involvement. Based on Leonard’s 1988 novel, the Detroit-based narrative features a twisty plot involving a bomb-making ex-couple with radical politics who reunite for a score worth millions, while a cop with bomb squad experience tries to take them down. And while the crime-and-police milieu is familiar ground for Leonard, the bomb-making plot adds a twist to the author’s usual terrain. The project first started picking up steam during TIFF last year when William H. Macy signed to the film, and we presume he’s still involved (reps didn’t return inquiries at press time). A number of names are said to be circling the project at the moment, but two rumored actors— Sam Rockwell and Hayd
