Telling & Teasing A Tale Of The Dark Fairy...





So we've now got a idea of what the world of "Maleficent" reveal to us...

And it looks a lot like the animated film. "Sleeping Beauty".  Only in live-action.  The one sheet we got yesterday was just a head shot of Jolie with horned headgear on full display.  The trailer was much more expansive, revealing a detail and quality that hopefully will be backed up by an equally impressive script.  And as that script was worked on by Paul Dini I have hope that it will be great considering Dini's strong stories involving female characters.

Time will tell...

Looks terrible. And with dini and woolverton on it, it's sure to be humorless and dreary. I hope they find an effects budget, 'cause this trailer ain't cutting it.

I agree - to me it looked just like Sleeping Beauty with live actors. The teaser line that Yahoo gave with it was about how we would see why Maleficent is so bad, but the trailer showed no such thing. I hope the story is not just a repeat of the classic cartoon.
