Spellbinding First Trailer & Stills For Disney’s ‘Maleficent’

Yesterday brought the first sinister one-sheet from Disney’s dark, magical fantasy MALEFICENT. Angelina Jolie takes on the title role as the evil queen of the studios live-action adaptation SLEEPING BEAUTY. Making his directorial debut is Oscar-winning visual-effects legend Robert Stromberg, who breathes new life into the iconic fairytale which has been adapted for the screen by Paul Dini and Linda Woolverton.

Here we have the first spellbinding trailer and four new stills from the epic film slipping into cinemas from the 30th May 2014.

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.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
