Mitchell Kapner wrote an earlier draft.
James Franco will star as a circus performer named Oz, who is transported through a tornado to the mysterious land of Oz, where he must fight real magic and three witches (Theodora, Glinda and Evanora) battling for control of the land.
Mila Kunis will play Theodora, while Rachel Weisz will play Evanora.
Shooting is expected to begin in July in Michigan with a 2013 release date in mind.
Williams was recently in "Blue Valentine" and "Meek's Cutoff."
