Maleficent

[magicbob]

I just did a google search to check the spelling of Maleficent for a post I just made on the firebreathing dragon thread and I stumbled across this:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587310/

Not a Disney production, but still looks interesting. Looks like a darker, grittier version of "Sleeping Beauty" along the lines of "Snow White & the Huntsman" or "Red Riding Hood" from a few years back.

Sleeping Beauty Wicked. Imitation and adaptation-- I'll watch it-- Maybe it will become a musical. Can Angelina sing? lol.

This reminds me of wicked. You know, the whole prologue, told from the enemy's side, you know?

I heard about it ages ago... then heard nothing. I was worried that they canned the project (Particularly with Angelina's recent problems).

But was glad to see it going ahead.

Oh, I remember seeing this months ago, but I haven't heard anything about it in a while. Looks amazing! I'll definitely want to see it when it is released. The set photos of Angelina are pretty cool--the horns are just like the ones in the animated film!

Youtube Video-New Malificent Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG5786fjozY

Shudder! Angelina Jolie is convincing as the Mistress of All Evil in the latest trailer released from Disney's upcoming dark fantasy, Maleficent, which was shared Friday, Jan. 17.

The actress, 38, stars as the iconic villainess who terrorizes Princess Aurora, played by Elle Fanning, in the live action reboot of Disney's 1959 animated film Sleeping Beauty.

The latest trailer includes footage from the original film compared against new scenes from the retelling of the classic fairy tale. There are fairies, stunning scenic backdrops, Prince Phillip -- played by hunky newcomer Brenton Thwaites -- who leans down for the kiss of awakening, and the terrifying Maleficent.

In the new trailer, Jolie makes her debut after a fairy gives Princess Aurora the gift of beauty. Clad in dark garb including a cape and horned headdress, Jolie's evil character first makes the candles flicker out in the castle's main room and eerily tells the king, "I, too, shall bestow a gift upon the child."

In another scene, a brave, innocent Aurora approaches Maleficent in a dark forest. "You've been watching over me my whole life. I know you're there," says Fanning. "Your shadow, it's been following me ever since I was small. Don't be afraid."

"I am not afraid," Maleficent responds as she glares through her evil eyes.

The trailer ends with Jolie's character giving the princess some pointers: "Aurora, there is an evil in this world," she says. "I cannot keep you from it."
Maleficent actually explores Sleeping Beauty from the villainess' perspective, revealing what hardened and darkened her heart.

It will hit theaters on May 30.

Nice post. As far as I know, Malificent is the wicked witch.

I'm really excited to see this. We finally have an official date!

Yes, this has been in the works for awhile.

AJ's kiddos are in the movie as well.

If you look at the IMBD site, you will see their names listed under the cast.

I can't wait for it to come out.

Looking forward to it; Sleeping Beauty is my younger daughter's favorite, but she has stated it is scary and won't watch it.

Went to see Frozen this weekend with DW and DD. The trailer for Maleficent played during the coming attractions. It looks awesome!

I'm glad Burton didn't end up directing; I didn't want to see Helena Bonham Carter playing Malificent.
