There has been much a buzzing about casting Angelina Jolie as the villainous title character in the big screen variation of Sleeping Beauty, most of it good. The majority of opinions sway towards an intrigued excitement over the prospect of seeing Jolie take this iconic role by horns.
We now have this new official image of Maleficent (beyond the concept image that surfaced online earlier this year) courtesy of the newly released one-sheet via the film’s official Facebook Page.
Disney also announced we can look forward to a first look trailer will hit tomorrow at 9am EST.
Here is the film’s official synopsis:
“Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal — an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom — and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well.”
Maleficent is set for a May 30, 2014 release.
