Since it was announced in 2009, Angelina Jolie has been attached to star in the title role of the live action vision of Maleficent - based on the popular sorceress from the Sleeping Beauty story. Much more recently, Disney hired a director for their take on the story. Now, Jolie herself has suggested that the movie may be her next acting project.

While speaking at a crowded press conference Saturday at the Berlin Film Festival, Jolie brought up Maleficent when asked about the future of her career.

"I haven't acted in two years, and I haven't done anything else since this [In The Land of Blood and Honey]. The next thing I am looking at is a Disney movie," said the actress. Jolie also expressed interest in starring in the film a couple months ago, when she said that her kids wanted her to make it.

Robert Stromberg (production designer for Avatar) will helm the project in his directorial debut. Do you think Angelina Jolie is a good choice for the title role in Maleficent? Share your thoughts below in the usual place.

she needs to gain some weight she's unbelievably thin. But this should be interesting but it looks like re-imagining fairy tales is the new craze in hollywood(Snow White and the Huntsman looks promising, minus kristen stewart obviously).

I have known about this film way before it was posted on here....

AND, I am so happy!

By far the BEST Disney movie!
And, I hate HATE Disney! But, Sleeping Beauty was amazing, if I may say!

If they add the great "Beauty"....TAMSIN EGERTON MUST PLAY HER:




I also would not mind Emma Watson!
I would like to see a Brit take on the role!

That's perfect casting. ANgie has gotten older and Skinnier, so she's almost creepy now,but still hot. Perfect for an ageing bitch.

Shit , i hope this doesn't detour her as a possible candidate to play Evil Lynn in the "EVENTUALLY GONNA HAPPEN FOLKS" He-man & The Masters of the Universe movie....been envisioning her in that role for a while.

Stupid sleeping beauty movie, blah.....Nuff Said !

Angelina Jolie would be good as Maleficent but I think Michelle Pfeiffer would be perfect.

You can thank myself an Tweeeekies for this project.

Make the 3 fairies cool and we got ourselves a blockbuster!

@headlopper...We caused this to happen...We are Gods!

Just sayin'...Everyone is now jealous!

I think the "fairies", should be more like wise women, who can see the future, or give "gifts...Not gay fairy women haha!
And, I also had the idea, where they go from older to younger!
Like, having someone old olay the wisest, someone middle aged play the kindest, having someone young play the fun loving one...

Angelina Jolie would be great as Maleficent. I hope she works out a deal.

@tweeeeenkies I haven't heard of her until you mentioned her. I could see her as Sleeping Beauty though.

@tweeeeenkies3- H-haaa! We are worthy!

About the fairies- that's a very good suggestion!
To be honest, I couldn't figure out what to do with them, but that suggestion would work.
Yeah, make the human-like, with enchanted powers and different personalities. Sounds good!
We're off to a good start here!

Are you listening Disney?!!
