New Sleeping Beauty 'Maleficient' film images!

Thanks to 'The Hollywood Reporter' the first images for Disney's new 3D version of 'Maleficient' which is going to be the updated 21st Century version of 'Sleeping Beauty' with a difference.

This new film will show how 'Sleeping Beauty's' villian which Angelina Jolie will be playing became the villian by showing what happened with the sorceress 'Maleficient' to harden her heart and curse Aurorer who get's put to sleep on a permanent basis on her 16th birthday...great! just what every 16 year old wants on their birthday!

MALEFICENT Angelina Jolie Still - H 2012

Anyway....this picture are just the start of what I'm sure will be many publicity shots or other things from behind the scenes of the movie which I have just read in 'The Sun' Showbiz column today is being shot in Buckinghamshire at the moment.

As you can see from this image it is clear to see that this film has taken a leaf out of the classic Walt Disney animated version that I grew up with like so many other people around the world...and if I remember correctly this is the classic look of the sorceress who on Aurorer's 16th birthday is this scene in the animated version here Aurorer goes up some steps into a room where there is a green hue that she's curious about and she finds that the green hue is coming off of a spinning wheel and as she goes up to it she pricks her finger and then falls asleep and the three pixie fairies which in this film will be played by Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple ('Year One' and 'St.Trinians' the first one)and Lesley Manville ('Another Year') try and do their best to look after her while she is asleep.

Sharlton Copley will star in the film as Stefan the half-human, half-fairy bastard son of the human king (who you'll recognise from 'The A Team' as Murdock who for me had the scene of the movie when there is the scene where 'Hannibal' and 'BA' are at the hospital and are waiting for a pilot to get them out of mexico they get chased to the helicopter on the roof and Murdock jumps on the blades of the helicopter and says the classic line 'You Spin Me Right Round Baby Right Round').

Ellie Fanning will play Aurorer who you may or may not recognise from the film 'Somewhere' that has the soundtrack done by Phoenix who sang '1901'


And if you haven't got their album 'Wolfgang Amadeus Pheonix' I strongly urge you to get this this is amazing and all the tracks are amazing!

Anyhew...I digress this film will mark the directorial debut of Robert Stromberg and will be released on March 4th 2014.
