First Look! A Flying Monkey From Oz: The Great & Powerful!

Wow! This gets us pretty excited for this flick!
Disney‘s prequel to the Wizard of Oz, titled Oz: The Great and Powerful, which stars James Franco as the man himself, is well into production, and a Perezcious reader sent us this really neat photo that an extra posted on Facebook – with a flying monkey!
Ch-ch-check it out (above)!
Pretty cool make-up and effects, right? Not to mention the wingspan on that thing!
We can’t imagine how cool it’s going to look in the finished product!
UPDATE: We’ve been informed that this photo was taken at Oz special makeup effects artist Howard Berger’s Halloween party – not on the film set.
