Those who have always wondered how the darker side gets to be so evil will now get that chance.  Walt Disney Studios has announced the U.S. expected release date for their film Maleficent which is set to come out on March 14, 2014.

Based on the animated classic Sleeping Beauty, this live action movie will delve into the title evil character Maleficent and what caused her to curse Princess Aurora.  Angelina Jolie is set to to play the title character and will show a different side to the evil sorceress.  Before casting and filming had even started Jolie had opened up and said she would love to play the title character and even voiced that she loved Maleficent as a little girl and she was her favorite.  Even a year after she made the statement while on the red carpet of Kung Fu Panda 2 she revealed there was a great script that was penned by Linda Woolverton.  Even though the movie tells Maleficent’s version of the story doesn’t mean Aurora will be portrayed as the bad guy.

Jolie believes “Maleficent” will be a positive film for young girls to see because of its message of seeing a story from someone else’s point of view. What do you think of this new version?  Are you interested in seeing this movie?
