Raimi Nixes Oz Return For Sequel

Director Sam Raimi told Bleeding Cool that even though Disney has plans to return to the world he helped create in Oz The Great and Powerful he won't be coming back to call action.

"I haven’t planned on directing the sequel. I did leave some loose ends for another director if they want to make the picture... I was attracted to this story but I don’t think the second one would have the thing I would need to get me interested."

The Mouse House has already hired screenwriter Mitchell Kapner to start working on the sequel script.
