Bruce Campbell is full of big announcements this summer. First, he confirmed that a remake of Evil Dead is officially in the works. (With Diablo Cody on board to help write the script no less.) And now, the actor has just tweeted that he will work with his long-time collaborator Sam Raimi once again in Oz: The Great and Powerful.
Just an hour ago, the actor Tweeted that he would definitely be featured in Raimi's prequel to the 1939 classic: "I. Am. In. Oz. Sam Raimi refuses to tell me what character I will portray. Just know that the role is PIVOTAL."
Campbell joins James Franco (who will play the title character) as well as Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz, who will play the three witches. Walt Disney Pictures has given the mega-budgeted movie a March 8, 2013 release date.
Cambell has worked with Raimi, whom he met in high school, on a number of projects including the Evil Dead series, the Spider-Man series, Darkman and The Quick and the Dead.
