Angelina plays Maleficent, "the mistress of all evil," who was of course featured in the animated Disney classic Sleeping Beauty. This film will tell the story of Sleeping Beauty from her perspective and will reveal "the events that hardened her heart and drove her to curse the baby, Aurora," according to a press release.
Production began June 13 with director Robert Stromberg, producer Joe Roth, writer Linda Woolverton and seven-time Academy Award-winning makeup artist, Rick Baker. Angelina is also an executive producer of the film, along with Don Hahn, Matt Smith and Palak Patel.
