Disney's Maleficent

[shadowDOESrock]

From Disney comes "Maleficent"—the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959 classic "Sleeping Beauty." A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well.

The film stars Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville.

"Maleficent" is produced by Joe Roth and directed by Robert Stromberg, with Angelina Jolie, Don Hahn, Matt Smith, Palak Patel and Sarah Bradshaw serving as executive producers. Linda Woolverton wrote the screenplay.

Well
That was a stupid comment.

[Hakudamashi]

Well I'm sorry, but Disney live action movies don't appeal to me. I'm intrigued by the synopsis, but my expectations are low.

[shadowDOESrock]

but...
Tron Legacy was awesome.

[Hakudamashi]

It was alright. for me, one of the better ones.

So is this a prequel or is it going to be like Alice in Wonderland where everything is just thrown out the window? Haven't seen the animated movie in years.

the imdb page says

The "Sleeping Beauty" tale is told from the perspective of the villainous Maleficent and looks at the events that hardened her heart and drove her to curse young Princess Aurora.

It sounds like a canon prequel to the original movie.


Alice in Wonderland was a reimagining by Tim Burton.

It was alright. for me, one of the better ones.

Oz the great and the powerful?
Oz the original?
Pirates of the Carribean?
Lone Ranger?
Herbie Fully Loaded?
Snow Dogs?
:V

I thought Malificent cursed Aurora cause she wasn't invited to her birthday party...

Out of all those, I only enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean... 2 of them anyway.
