from Ain't It Cool News (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/54837)Disney announced today that the production designer, Robert Stromberg... the man behind much of the look of AVATAR, Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND and Raimi's upcoming OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, is going to make his directorial debut with Angelina Jolie as the great Disney villian, MALEFICENT.

I love the Maleficent character as executed and designed in the classic Walt Disney animated SLEEPING BEAUTY - easily one of my favorite Disney films. I can see Angelina knocking this out of the park. This is being written by Linda Woolverton whose credits span BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, THE LION KING and Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

Disney says we'll see this on March 14th, 2014 and I have to say... I'd just kill to see Angelina in the classic Maleficent style costume and makeup. Her cheekbones are kind of perfect for this. So when do you think Disney will announce that this will be shot in 3D, you know they're going to.

So - is this a cartoon? CGI? Live actors? I'm intrigued. Maleficent is one of my fav's.

The director announcement is new... but I thought I'd heard about Jolie as Maleficent about a year and a half ago. (Though that might've just been rumor?)

This is ofn.

Don't expect it to look a whole lot like the animated Maleficent character you're used to.

Whoever greenlights this kind of lazy ass sh!t needs to slapped. And fired.

Eh. Chances are good that a ton of people will go see it, and it will make money, and subsequently the greenlighter in question will be promoted. It's bottom-line. Right now, more people go to sequels/reboots/adaptations than originals. And thusly more sequels/reboots/adaptations are being greenlit.
