Just yesterday, the poster for Disney’s “Maleficent” starring Angelina Jolie was revealed. As of today, Nov. 13, 2013, the trailer has now been revealed and it is rather awesome.
The official synopsis for Maleficent:
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.
I saw Maleficent with my family the day it was released into theaters. It was very different from the original cartoon film, with death, battles, betrayals, etc. Yet, it was such a well casted and well made movie that it didn’t matter how unalike the two films were. It was a great movie and I look forward to more Maleficent in the future!
