Angelina Jolie is all set to display her evil shades in an upcoming remake of Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. Reportedly, Jolie has been roped in to play Maleficent – the evil fairy who casts the spell on the princess and puts her to eternal sleep.
Contactmusic reports,
The 34-year-old actress would play the lead role in a reimagining of the film entitled ‘Maleficent’, which would re-tell the classic tale from the perspective of the evil fairy who casts a spell on the princess which eventually sees her sleep for a hundred years. ‘Alice in Wonderland’ director Tim Burton – who is famous for his gothic movies – is also rumoured to be involved with the film. The screenplay is being written by long-time Disney collaborator Linda Woolverton – who worked on ‘The Lion King’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
I’m totally convinced that Jolie will do proper justice to the role. Not only will she excel in that role, but she’ll also be successful in garnering sympathy for that evil fairy. Of course, this is what she’s been doing in real life. All the best to you, Jolie!
