I wonder if Maleficent will have a long slit in her dress so she can stick her leg out.

Damn, I have plans that day!

Here are some casting rumors.

Elle Fanning (Super Eight) is rumored to be playing Princess Aurora.

Here's an interesting twist on Aurora's father Stefan, who is not the King. He is “half human, half fairy and the father of Aurora [Elle Fanning].” That role’s being eyed for Jolie‘s Sky Captain co-star, Jude Law;

Also, Jim Sturgess and Gael García Bernal, are up for the part of Diaval, “an Irish man with black hair, dark eyes and a slight Irish accent.” Though he starts off the story as a(n Irish) bird, the titular witch makes him a man and, soon enough, her lover. The rest of the lineup contains a few unsurprising names for this kind of film: Patrick Stewart for King Henry, and either Emma Thompson or Judi Dench for someone (or something) named Flittle.

But who should be Flora, Fauna and Merryweather?

I think they should be Coco Peru, Evie Harris and Varla Jean Merman.

Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson, Kenneth Cranham, Sam Riley, and Lesley Manville have joined the cast.

"The story centers on Angelina Jolie's title character, and puts a new spin on her relationship with Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning), a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty. Imelda Staunton and Lesley Manville are playing Knotgrass and Flittle, two of the pixies who care for Aurora. Miranda Richardson is portraying Queen Ulla, Maleficent's aunt who does like her evil niece. Sam Riley plays Diaval, Maleficent's trusted right hand, who transforms between a raven and a human. Kenneth Cranham is playing the human king, who tries to conquer the fairy kingdom."

That picture has me.....excited.


Down there.

If Rick Baker did the make up I am sure we are going to see a very different Maleficent further on. SO far,there is no make up just a head piece by the costume designer. I'm sure she will be green and look a bit more sinister. Those pics will be under wraps til closer to the release date I would guess (unless they are leaked sooner) She really does look bad ass in this though.

I'm not really into Disney films, but I'm fu*kin excited for this. As a kid, I always thought Maleficent was so bad ass.

Rick Baker is one of the best make up artist in motion pictures. I find it hard to believe they would hire him for such a basic simple make up job.Not sure what other characters are in the story so there might be others who require more make up than others.
