Robert Downey, Jr. was originally the protagonist in Sam Raimi's upcoming film "Oz: The Great And Powerful". However, Downey has dropped out of the project. Disney Pictures is now hoping Johnny Depp will take Downey's place. Depp has yet to report whether or not he will accept the role. "Oz" focuses on an illusionist who gets swept into Oz while on a hot air balloon. If Depp acepts, Disney is planning on starting production this year.
I was disappointed by reading this. Johnny Depp is a good actor, but he seems to be an overrated actor in the 21st century. I would have loved to see Downey in a production related to The Wizard of Oz. Maybe he declined because he's working on an Iron Man 3. I think Downey is underrated, and trumps Depp any day.
