James Franco stars in the film, about a young circus magician whose hot air balloon is blown off course and lands in Oz, where the citizens believe he is a real wizard. Mila Kunis is set to co-star as the Wicked Witch of the West, one of the three witches who control Oz.

Filming begins in late July in Michigan.
