Well you're in luck, as one of the greatest films ever made has got a fresh new update, and the fans of The Wizard of Oz will finally learn just how the 1939 movie's titular character ended up ruling Oz.

Lucky man James Franco has landed the role of the much beloved screen icon in the new Disney prequel 'Oz The Great And Powerful'.

The part has been linked to Robert Downey Jr and Johnny Depp in the past, but it it is Franco along with Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis, playing the three witches, who will bring the story to the big screen next spring.
