Angelina Jolie and Her Cheekbones literally shine in the role they were both born to play in the following first teaser trailer for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty prequel, Maleficent, in which the two icons star alongside precocious ingénues Elle Fanning and Juno Temple, as well as one of their own genetically-superior scions, Hollywood Royalty Vivienne Jolie Pitt, who makes her brilliant method acting debut as a young Princess Aurora.
From the 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.
Also starring Sharlto Copley, Miranda Richardson, Brenton Thwaites, Sam Riley and Imelda Staunton, Maleficent is slated for worldwide release on May 30th, 2014.
