Franco, who's got about dozens of projects in a variety of formats already in the works, is in early talks to take on the lead role in Sam Raimi/Disney's Oz, The Great and Powerful.
Previous actors who were up for the role include Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp, who officially passed on the project last week.
If cast in the role, Franco would play "a young illusionist with a grandiose attitude who is forced to flee a traveling circus. His hot air balloon is swept up by a tornado to the land of Oz, which is run by two magical wicked witches."
