    Rachel Weisz May Join Kunis As "Oz" Witch

    Early last month, we reported that Mila Kunis had signed on to play a witch in the upcoming Disney film "Oz: The Great and Powerful." Now, Rachel Weisz is reportedly in talks to join the cast along side Kunis.

    "Oz" is a prequel to the 1930's film "The Wizard of Oz" and takes place before the events of L. Frank Baum's classic story. James Franco, who is slated to fill the Wizard's shoes, will help chronicle that character's beginnings as a snake-oil salesman.

    Art Attack Is Back On Disney

    If you were watching Disney in the 80's and 90's, you might remember Art Attack. This was a show in which the host, Neil Buchanan, created murals and art using items found in everyday life. Coming soon, a new generation of Disney fans can see the revived version of the show on Disney Junior.

    The show gets an updated host (Jassa Ahluwalia), but will retain the same premise. In addition, "Big Art Attacks" will be featured much as they were in the past. Viewers tuning in can expect to see new characters and sets.
