Well it seems we are getting a live action adaptation of
Sleeping Beauty from Disney..kinda. As you can tell from the title this will focus more on the villain of the piece, the wicked Maleficent - and we may well see the gorgeous Angelina Jolie play the part.
From Deadline..
Disney has tapped Robert Stromberg to make his feature directorial debut on Maleficent, the Linda Woolverton-scripted revisionist take on the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale that is being constructed as a star vehicle for Angelina Jolie to play the villainess.
Stromberg has no directorial experience but he has acted as production designer on
Avatar and
Alice in Wonderland, and will again on Disney’s upcoming
Oz The Great and Powerful. I'm sure Jolie needs no introduction! We also have two live action
Snow White movies heading our way so there may well be a trend forming. Could the likes of Rapunzel and Cinderella be on the horizon? What say you folks, could you get on board with this?
