I am a tad late on getting this news out to you, but I was going through my email and spotted this press release that I found to be very exciting. Disney announces start on production of “Maleficent”, starring Angelina Jolie. Doesn’t she look awesome? I can’t think of an actress who could pull of this look any better!
“Maleficent” is in production and is due to be released on March 14, 2014. We have some time to get psyched and ready for the film, but the news was too fun not to share.
Here are the important details about the direction, producer, and cast:
Directed by two-time Oscar®-winning production designer Robert Stromberg (“Avatar,” “Alice in Wonderland”), in his directorial debut, and produced by Joe Roth, “Maleficent” is written by Linda Woolverton (“The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast”) and executive produced by Angelina Jolie, Don Hahn, Matt Smith and Palak Patel.
