    Default 'Maleficent'

    Tim Burton's 'Maleficent'


    Disney, 'Alice' scribe team for film about 'Sleeping Beauty's' evil queen

    Hollywood Reporter
    Having scored a hit with Alice in Wonderland, Disney and screenwriter Linda Woolverton are teaming to bring to the big screen Maleficent, a live-action take on the evil queen in the 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty.

    Woolverton's Maleficent would tell the classic fairy tale from the point of view of the self-proclaimed Mistress of All Evil, offering a new take on a classic tale as the screenwriter did with Lewis Carroll's Alice. Woolverton has a long history with Disney, and is best known for the screenplays of 1991's Beauty and the Beast and 1994's The Lion King.

    Maleficent might reunite Woolverton with Tim Burton; it's one of a handful of projects the filmmaker is circling. His interest in the character was piqued in the summer when he was in postproduction on Alice. No deal has been made with Burton yet, but the hiring of Woolverton is the first concrete step forward in the project's development.

    It is unclear just how dark and edgy Disney — which had no comment on the project — wants to make Maleficent.

    I'm stoked... taking on the villian's story is a different twist, and could be an amazing movie! Can't wait to watch this form....

    Really? REALLY? OH MY! This could be amazing. I'm quite stoked for this! I'd love it if Disney did this with many of their classics... (As told by the villain) Of course, those may seem like cheap sequels... BUT! This sounds incredible. Can't wait to hear more!

    I hope this doesn't turn out like Wicked, I mean dont get me wrong Wicked is incredible but, I think it would really damage her whole position as the leader of the villians if they "humanized" her and made us feel sorry for her. Well I guess we will just have to wait and see.

    I can see what you mean... she's the bad of the bad and if they make us see 'Her point of view" then it might bring her down a few notches. Hopefully, it's just us watching her be evil, and instead of cutting to scenes of Aurora dancing in the forest with her prince, we see Mal plotting and planning and just being mean! :)

    I love this idea!
    I keep wishing it could be that way, because my world would be a Wonderland.

    Sounds really great! The only thing that would probably get to me would be the fact that its still a lil to Disney. I know it sounds dumb when I say that, but I would like to see Tim do something where he isnt restricted to a family level and be able to be his creative self (which he always is anyway). It's just after seeing Sweeney Todd I really liked to see Tim Burton do something a bit more dark without any real restrictions. But thats just my say, lol.

    Sleepy Hollow, Ed Wood, Attack From Mars, Edward Schissorhands... Tim has definitely had his fair share of "non-Disney" films! I can see what you're saying, though, PumpkinKing.

    I would be quite shocked if they added a "Wicked" twist to the story. Though it may happen, I am not so sure Maleficent lends herself to such a story... Mistress of All Evil? Controller of the powers of Hell? Wicked works becuase we're never let in on the Wicked Witch's doings or motives. Maleficent is truly wicked!

    I can't wait to hear who will be cast as Maleficent...

    Oh yeah, I've definately seen all those. I just threw one out there as an example. But like I said, I'd really like to see him use that kinda energy for this movie. I mean c'mon Malifacent is the badest of the bad! lol
