Movie Buzz: "Oz" and "The Lone Ranger"

Disney always seems to have several movie irons going in the fire, so here is some recent buzz surrounding some of its upcoming films.

First off, word on the street has it that Michelle Williams may be coming on board "Oz: The Great and Powerful" as Glinda the Good Witch. James Franco and Mila Kunis are already set to star in the picture, and talks are still continuing with Rachel Weisz to bring that actress into the project as well. Willliams is a two-time Oscar Nominee who is known for her work in "Blue Valentine" and "Brokeback Mountain."

Next, "The Lone Ranger" now has an actor to take on the lead role. Reports say Armie Hammer, who played a dual role in "The Social Network," is now set to play the Ranger himself. Look for Hammer to play the Ranger along side Johnny Depp's take on the sidekick Tonto. Also involved in the film are director Gore Verbinski and executvie producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
