First Poster Released For Angelina Jolie’s MALEFICENT

We’ve had news and set pics from Disney’s Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie for what seems like a couple of years now. Today, the poster for the film was finally released and it will be followed by tomorrow’s unveiling of the trailer.

The movie, which is a live action retelling of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the Maleficent, opens on May 30, 2014 and also stars Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, and Leslie Manville.

Official synopsis:
From Disney comes “Maleficent”—the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959 classic “Sleeping Beauty.” A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. 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.

Check out the poster now and be sure to come back tomorrow to see the first trailer for the film!
