Johnny Depp to Be the Great and Powerful Oz

Johnny Depp is no stranger to portraying iconic literary figures, and his next role is going to put him at the end of the yellow brick road. Depp is in talks to star in Oz the Great and Powerful after the studio's last choice for the part, Robert Downey Jr., dropped out.

Depp will play Oz in the prequel, which follows the regular man who becomes a wizard (the wonderful wizard) after dropping in on the magical land visited by Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Can you see Depp as the man behind the curtain - and do you think he's a better choice than Downey?

It was rumoured that Johnny would replace Robert Downey Jr. in Oz the Great and Powerful, but now it's reported he's passed on the role and the next candidate could be James Franco. Isla, in a bright blue strapless dress, had the night off from mum duty for the event, though judging from the trailer, little Olive probably would have enjoyed the show.

Watch More From Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

When we got to to see the first trailer for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film, On Stranger Tides, it felt like there was a little bit of the franchise's magic missing. Now we have trailer number two, and it's a bit more exciting than the first. As expected, it has more of Johnny Depp's one-liners as Captain Jack Sparrow, along with some sexy sparring with co-star Penélope Cruz. More importantly, we also get to see a bit more of the mermaid factor, and why they're such a big part of this sequel. One is needed to help the Captain Jack and his rival Blackbeard (Ian McShane) to get to The Fountain of Youth - the thin but interesting objective of the movie. Watch this new trailer and see if gets you any more excited for the latest Pirates installment when you read more.
