Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz is in negotiations to play the villainess in Oz: The Great and Powerful, Disney?s?prequel-ish take on The Wizard of Oz tale starring James Franco and Mila?Kunis and being directed by Sam Raimi.

The movies stars Franco as Oz, a snake oil salesman who finds himself dealing?with real magic when his balloon carries him into a fabled land and he runs?into genuine witches.

Weisz would play Evanora, a powerful and evil witch who intends to rule the?land. She is the sister of Theadora (Kunis) and tries to seduce her to the?dark side.

The role would be a change of pace for Weizs, who despite having an eclectic?resume ranging from her Oscar-nominated work in The Constant Gardner to Wong?Kar Wai?s My Blueberry Nights to The Mummy, has never worked on a project of?this scale and never tackled what is sure to be a splashy role.

She is repped by CAA.
