I’m a little late in posting this one but here’s the first trailer for Disney‘s upcoming Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, the follow-up to Maleficent, which pretty much kick-started the Mouse House series of live-action remakes of their classic animations.
This one doesn’t release until October, but I’m liking what I’m seeing so far. Here’s the official synopsis:
“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” is a fantasy adventure that picks up several years after “Maleficent,” in which audiences learned of the events that hardened the heart of Disney’s most notorious villain and drove her to curse a baby Princess Aurora. The film continues to explore the complex relationship between the horned fairy and the soon to be Queen as they form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within. The film is directed by Joachim Rønning from a story by Linda Woolverton and a screenplay by Linda Woolverton and Micah Fitzerman-Blue & Noah Harpster, the film is produced by Joe Roth, Angelina Jolie and Duncan Henderson with Matt Smith, Jeff Kirschenbaum and Michael Vieira serving as executive producers.
I’m a huge fan of Harris Dickinson who is in the film as Prince Phillip. You may have seen him in the brilliant break-out Beach Rats a couple of years ago. If you haven’t seen it, I urge you to do so. He is superb in that movie.
The trailer for Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil is playable below. Look out for the film in cinemas from 18th October.
