ZACH BRAFF SIGNS ON FOR 'WIZARD OF OZ"

Zach Braff signs on for 'Wizard of Oz' prequel



With names such as James Franco and Mila Kunis already attached to the prequel to The Wizard of Oz, set to be released in 2013, Scrubs star Zach Braff is now being added to that cast list.



It was made official this weekend, according to CNN.



The prequel will feature James Franco as Oz, a lost magician mistaken for a wizard, with Zach Braff as his assistant Frank, according to Deadline.



The film, set before the 1939 film, will show Oz’s time before becoming the wizard, as well as the wicked witch of the west, before she was a wicked witch. Mila Kunis will be portraying the latter.



Filming begins in July, with Spiderman director Sam Raimi, for the 3-D epic beginning to the Oz saga.
