These punchlines will just write themselves…
Angelina Jolie will be tapping into her inner homewrecker for a turn as The Wicked Witch of the West in one of three Wizard of Oz spinoff hitting theaters over the next few years.
Tinseltown tattles tell PopEater’s Naughty or Nice Column that the do-gooder is attached to play the ghoulish character in the Warner Bros. project, which will reportedly be directed by another Hollywood notable. Last week, Drew Barrymore allegedly signed on to direct the Wizard of Oz sequel, titled Surrender Dorothy. The movie follows the great, great granddaughter of Dorothy who has to learn how to use the power of her ruby red slippers to keep the Wicked Witch of the West from taking control of Earth and Oz.
One loose-lipped Hollywood casting exec says: “Angelina as the Wicked Witch would be perfect casting. She is not only the biggest movie star in the world, but Angie is also a brilliant actress who isn’t afraid to play someone evil.”
