The Chin to appear in Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The great Bruce Campbell recently revealed on his Twitter page that he'll be reteaming once again with Mr. Sam Raimi in his next picture, Oz: The Great and Powerful. Along with a Behind the Scenes Picture from Evil Dead 2 (Hey, that's my job, Bub!) he put this statement out there:

"I. Am. In. Oz. Sam Raimi refuses to tell me what character I will portray. Just know that the role is PIVOTAL."

Tiny role or starring, it's always great to see those two team up, especially with such a good cast Raimi already has in his Wizard of Oz prequel... Mila Kunis, James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz et al.

Sounds like such a blatant prequel/franchise starter, and really, is the world that curious about the origins of the wizard in Oz?
Damn you Tim Burton, and your financially successful Alice In Wonderland movie!

He would be perfect casting. A stranger in a strange land, just like in Army of Darkness. It would be awesome to see Dorothy with a chainsaw as lower arm. "Hail to the Queen, Toto." (Hell, if they're going to remake Evil Dead, they might as well do this one).

But yes, even you noble director can be redeemed. Ever since Spider-Man 3 your stance as a director has crumbled. Don't care what the critics told you about Drag Me To Hell but that movie sucked worse than CABIN BOY! Please do us all a favor and reclaim your glory and just make another fucking EVIL DEAD movie already! That is what the fans want, not a FUCKING remake! You do a remake your going to add another movie to your list of I'm not creditable as a director list! Now OZ, WTF happened to you man! You have the power to at least get a 40 million production for a movie and you make Drag Me To Hell! This might be a FUCK YOU, but I think it is a GOOD FUCK YOU! Come back to you core audience and make a film worthy of your talent, fuck OZ!

Maybe they both enjoy the quirky cameo thing, but I would really like to see Campbell get a simple, decent, substantive role in a high-visibility film, even if it's a supporting role. It would be fun to see that at this stage.
Judging by the approach he describes in his original auto-bio book (which I own), he's probably getting the exact amount and type of work he wants in life. But he's a cool enough guy and does entertaining enough work that more is always better to me.

Make it so.
I agree with the comments below, IT HAS TO BE SUBSTANTIAL.
Oh and if you mention BC's (JC's) book, it can only be under its proper given title,
If Chins could Kill, Confessions of a B-Movie actor.

Campbell is playing Ash again, and this time he gets to fight Deadite flying monkeys. He also has to wear the ruby slippers, and in trying to get home he loses count and clicks them together four times instead of 3 times.

W.W. Denslow illustrated the first Oz book, and his art heavily influenced the MGM Oz movie. The later Oz books were illustrated by John R. Neill, and he wasn't nearly the artist Denslow was.
Here is an example, for all who are curious, as to what Denslow's wonderful art looked like:

In any case, I hope to hell the characters in Disney's Oz won't look like they were designed by Tim Burton. That's totally the wrong aesthetic for the Oz stories.
