\"\"<\/a>Zach Braff is in talks to appear in Sam Raimi’s Oz: The Great And Powerful<\/strong>. According to Deadline<\/a>, he’ll be playing Frank, “the loyal but under-appreciated assistant to Oz (James Franco), a charismatic circus magician who is treated as a powerful wizard after his balloon blows off course into Oz and the townsfolk want him to eradicate a Wicked Witch and bring peace.”<\/p>\n

Best known for his work on the comedy series Scrubs<\/em>, Braff’s filmography has been mostly in the indie world, most famously writing, directing and starring in 2004’s Garden State<\/strong>. To be honest, I’m not much of a Braff fan. Scrubs<\/em> never struck me as all that funny and I didn’t flip for Garden State<\/strong> as much as others. Hopefully, Raimi and company have seen something in him for the role that will be worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The GARDEN STATE star will assist the Great and Powerful Wizard.<\/div>\n
