"Maleficent" movie finally starting to happen

I am loving the live action recreation of the sets from "Sleeping Beauty." I'm seriously intrigued by this film.

Someone made a gifset of compiled images from Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent.

Check it out. http://fuckyeahsleepingbeauty.tumblr.com/post/73990037019/i-too-shall-bestow-a-gift-upon-the-child

One thing I've noticed, and this could simply be due to seeing these scenes out of context, but where is the Queen? We see Maleficent in the castle talking to, I assume, King Stefan...but where is his wife? I know in Sleeping Beauty she was never given a name, but she's still Aurora's mother. Where she at?!

^ That smile looks exactly like an expression the animated version would make. Well done, Ms. Jolie!

I agree. She's probably the best casting choice for this movie.

Will this film tie into the existing Disney version of Sleeping Beauty, or is that intended only to be a way of framing the story about Maleficent specifically?

I'm thinking Oz, Frozen, and now Maleficent look like attempts from Disney to do their own version of Wicked since they don't actually own the rights to that thing.

Nailed it.

This is one of those rare occasions where the name Angelina Jolie is mentioned and I want to open up my wallet like I have a 9mm to my skull.

Definitely some changes to the "Sleeping Beauty" story (for one, Maleficent never actually found Aurora before she pricked her finger, so I'm not quite sure how they can be having a conversation), but I'm still really intrigued.

We get to see the dragon here!

I have to admit, the more of this I'm seeing the better it is looking. I've gone from intrigued to actually interested.
