Director Sam Raimi is attached to a few projects right now, including the Worlds of Warcraft adaptation entitled, Warcraft. Now, Walt Disney Pictures is ramping up production on Oz: The Great and Powerful, which will definitely be Raimi’s next project. The Warcraft movie is being put on hold until Raimi returns from Oz.

Deadline reports that Walt Disney Pictures has hired Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire to rewrite Oz: The Great and Powerful, and although he has not officially signed on to the project, “it’s looking good” for Robert Downey Jr. to join the project as the title character.

Oz: The Great and Powerful is slated to hit theaters in 2013.
