Disney's Maleficent has a new trailer and its visually stunning but the real stand out is Angelina Jolie playing the role of Maleficent. She is dark, mysterious, and evil. But despite her evil nature you are instantly drawn to her beauty and mystery. I like the fact that they took a different route with Sleeping Beauty. They went from the point of the villain and gave insight into her and played the movie with her as the focal point. Which I thought was absolutely BRILLIANT!
Here is the full plot of Maleficent:
Maleficent explores the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty and the elements of her betrayal that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. Driven by revenge and a fierce desire to protect the moors over which she presides, Maleficent (Jolie) cruelly places an irrevocable curse upon the human king's newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Aurora (Fanning) is caught in the middle of the seething conflict between the forest kingdom she has grown to love and the human kingdom that holds her legacy. Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to peace in land and is forced to take drastic actions that will change both worlds forever.
