Disney Drops The First Clip For ‘Maleficent’

Robert Stromberg’s MALEFICENT hits cinemas later this month, and following tonight’s star-studded screening in London, which Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attended, we have the very first clip from the Disney film.

“Maleficent” explores the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 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 cruelly places an irrevocable curse upon the human king’s newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Aurora 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 the land and is forced to take drastic actions that will change both worlds forever.

MALEFICENT also stars Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville, and arrives in UK cinemas from 28th May, and US cinemas from 30th May.
