New OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Poster Features Flying Monkeys

Disney has released a brand new poster for Sam Raimi's epic-looking fantasy film Oz, The Great and Powerful, which stars James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, Zach Braff, and Bruce Campbell.

The new poster features many of the fantasy elements from the story, such as our first real look at the evil flying monkey. I wish there was a better quality image of the poster, but this is what came straight from Yahoo. This is the second of a three panel poster. Click here to see the first.

What do you think about Raimi's vision of Oz so far?

Here's the synopsis:

Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) pulls one flimflam too many, he finds himself hurled into the fantastical Land of Oz where he must somehow transform himself into the great and powerful Wizard—and just maybe into a better man as well.
