Angelina Jolie is set to play a powerful and captivating role as an evil witch in the upcoming blockbuster film Maleficent, scheduled for release next year. What makes this movie even more special is that Jolie will be joined by her daughter Vivienne, who will be playing the young Princess Aurora. Just recently, Disney, the film’s producer, teased fans with a sneak peek of what’s to come in this highly anticipated movie.
This movie is a retelling of the classic fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty”. The producer had initially planned for a budget of $200 million to ensure top-notch quality and stunning 3D effects. The teaser for the film had viewers hooked with its captivating scenes and the striking image of Angelina Jolie in her “devil face” pose. The tense exchange between Jolie’s “evil fairy” character and Princess Aurora added to the suspense, leaving viewers on edge.
The producers have specifically chosen Angelina Jolie to play the role of Maleficent in hopes of turning the movie into a summer blockbuster. By shifting the focus to the villain rather than the princess, Jolie will have ample room to showcase her acting skills and deliver a professional performance as a Hollywood star.
Robert Stromberg, who previously worked on production design for films like “Alice in Wonderland,” “Avatar,” and “Oz the Great & Powerful,” is making his directorial debut with the movie “Maleficent.” The film, starring Angelina Jolie, is set to hit theaters worldwide starting on May 30, 2014, and is anticipated to make a big impact. Check out some behind-the-scenes pictures of Angelina Jolie on set.
