Pretty munchkin Mila Kunis (Black Swan) is following the yellow brick road to director/producer Sam Raimi’s highly anticipated Wizard of Oz prequel Oz, The Great and Powerful. Kunis will play Theodora, the Wicked Witch of the West.

Penned as an origins story by screenwriter David Lindsay-Abaire, Oz, The Great and Powerful provides backgrounds on Oz’s wizard, played by James Franco (127 Hours), and its witches Glinda (Good Witch of the North), Evanorah (Wicked Witch of the East), and Theodora.

Kunis, a self described horror and true-crime fanatic, has starred in genre offerings such as The Huges Bros. apocalyptic thriller Book of Eli, John Moore’s video game adaptation Max Payne, Christian Duguay’s teen frightener Boot Camp, and Lionsgate’s 2002 sequel American Psycho 2: All American Girl.
