Sam Raimi has cast his long time friend, frequent star and sometimes whipping boy Bruce Campbell in his currently in production Wizard Of Oz prequel Oz, The Great And Powerful.
Fan favorite Campbell announced the news on twitter a short while ago –
Of course, if you’ve ever seen Campbell at a convention discuss cameos in Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and point out how he is the only person to have defeated the superhero in those movies, you probably know to take his claim that the role will be “PIVITOL” with a grain of salt.
Since the pair broke into the film industry together with the cult favorite Evil Dead, Campbell has often appeared in Raimi’s films, either as a lead actor, supporting player or sometimes in just a small cameo role.
