"I am the great and powerful Oz"
Not only a giant head, a giant disembodied head. It looks as if the airplane is some sort of bow tie. Or that the plane is being piloted by a giant head.
I'd think that something like DiCaprio sitting in the cockpit of a plane would be a more appropriate, and easily marketable, image.

The R1 cover just has Leo's big fat head.

I know it's fashionable to rail against "big head" covers, but if it's done right, occasionally I think it can work out, like in this case.
I just like it a lot better than that one. But I do agree with you that the same folks who whine when the one-sheet isn't used on the DVD should be happy when it is. It's just that this one-sheet is much nicer and more cerebral.
