AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
This is the “first image” of Angelina Jolie in character as the biggest, baddest villainess EVER, Maleficent. Maleficent is the villainess of the Sleeping Beauty story, and the “retelling” of the classic story is being done by Disney – a live action dark fairy tale in the vein of Snow White and the Huntsman and all of those other live-action fairy tale reboots that have been coming out lately. I’m actually looking forward to this one, though. For several reasons:
1. HER HORNS!!! I love Maleficent’s horns, and if you really look at those things, they are beautifully crafted. This gives me hope that the costumes will be awesome. Think about the magnificent capes, cloaks and sacks Angelina will get to wear! THEN ADD HORNS.
2. Angelina is good at playing “big” scenery-chewing characters. I would actually argue that big characters are her strength, whereas she isn’t great at playing Jane Average.
3. The cast has come together, and it’s looking really interesting. Elle Fanning is Princess Aurora, and the cast now includes Miranda Richardson, Juno Temple, Imelda Staunton, Sharlto Copley and Sam Riley.
4. Disney is pouring money into the production, which will film in England. It feels like everyone involved wants to take the time to make a really good film.
5. Angelina Jolie is simply a great Villainess. She’s been playing one for years and years in the tabloids.
Anyway, we won’t get to see Maleficent until March 2014 – a really long way away. But production on the film has officially started, so maybe we’ll have a teaser trailer by the end of the year? Maybe. Hopefully.

The cheekbones totally remind me of Gaga! I disagree that his looks budget though. I don’t think her horns look like paper, they seem like leather to me.

the lighting and coloring makes the horns look like it’s made out of a thick binbag (opaque blackish). i was rather wishing it was made out of leather-like/more sturdier material with a darker mid-matte/mild-satin black.
maybe it’s my computer screen that’s mucking it up.
on the other hand, and on another note, even without seeing, i can be somewhat sure that she won’t be badly served by the makeup. we know that she can rock out blood red liptstick and smokey eyes like no one else (see golden globes for instance). so yeah.
the horns, for me, the jury is still out because i probably need to see a better-lighted picture. or maybe me seeing an optomerist asap. or both.

It’s amazing what a little nose job here and some cheekbone implants there can do for a face. Alien, indeed.
But she did find a good surgeon. Credit where credit is due.

Lamamu-I’m sure it’s easier to believe that nonsense than to accept that some people are just BORN beautiful. Your need to denegrate her appearance just proves that you are probably not one of the aforementioned naturally beautiful people.

Angie did indeed have cosmetic work done on her nose for sure and quite possibly on her cheeks and chin.
Regardless, she had a lot of good stuff to work with in the first place.

Yeah ok. I’ll believe it when I talk to her supposed plastic surgeon. *Maybe* some botox but that’s all I think she’s had done. As neither of us know for sure, my speculation is as valid as yours.
Not that any of it matters or detracts from her beauty, either way.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Oh, TheOriginalKitten, the thing about growing up in the public eye is that there is photographic evidence of her facial evolution every step of the way. And I agree that she (her plastic surgeon) had great clay to work with, but she did take her face to another level through plastic surgery. (And it has nothing to do with my own appearance. You might argue more effectively if you left out personal insults. But, then again, I wouldn’t be smiling quite so smugly now, if you did.

So the all the Voights, Bertrands, and Jolie Pitt kids all have had plastic surgery?! Angelina looks JUST like her brother & parents- AND her children. She one of the few that you can prove that hasn’t had any surgery because you’ve seen her grow us and seen pictures of her immediate family & uncles, grandmother, cousins, children etc. There are no big noses or “low” cheek bones, thin lips, or weak jaws in the bunch. Hate makes people blind.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I agree that she probably had her nose done. It is WAY different and much thinner in the tip than it used to be. However, I dont think she had anything done to her cheekbones. Her mom had that facial structure as well.
Yes to the nose work, no to the cheeks.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
It’s not like we’re claiming she wasn’t already beautiful, and the changes she made were very subtle. A slightly more refined nose makes a huge difference, and she went from being a stunning woman to completely perfect.
I’m not saying this out of spite! It’s just obvious when you look at comparison photographs. I have no problem with plastic surgery, and she makes me wonder how much prettier I’d be if I got some slight tweaking.

I saw her old music video back when she was younger and I honestly think there’s no surgery on her face. You could see it here. Sometimes her nose seems thinner but sometimes bigger :

I think it’s mostly because of the different angle plus lighting in the movies/pictures, her body weight, make-up tricks and age.
Don’t we all know our best angle when taking a pictures? I know that if I do one side my nose would look thinner but from the front my nose would seems bigger in the pictures. LOL. There are times when my face looks better if I do some pose.

Jolie, you are so not a leading lady. Sorry. Whenever you try to play the straight-faced female protagonist, no one can freaking relate to you, and it’s all just a bit silly.
But when you play the “character…” OMG. Then you’re amazing. I cite “Girl, Interrupted,” natch.

You do know she’s the leading lady at most of her box-office movies like Tomb Raider, Wanted, Salt, etc?

Yes, LOL, thank you for correcting me. I meant the few times she’s tried to play Reese Witherspoon/Katherine Heigl-ish (leading lady) roles, it’s just…. SOOO unrelatable. She dominates in the “big” roles.

Actually, she is a leading lady, just not the dialed down, dilited types that HW is selling today. She’s the leading lady of yesterday – a Stanwyck or Davis who kicked serious ass; unfortunately, she doesn’t have access to the great writing that Stanwyck or Davis had.
Imagine what Angelina could do if she had a Beyond the Forest-type role – uncompromising in what she wants and believes in. Oh, what… she sorta had that in Wanted, but HW is too cowardly to make a character like that front and central to all of the action.

At least Jolie doesn’t have to work hard on Maleficent.
This is her first character without any pretense of beauty. It must be a relief for the director and the camera men to have green screen, even so. Not a bit like playing the evil queen in Snow White who was so reknown for her great beauty. And she is Executive producing this farce. No wonder it is getting made.

The role was, in fact, peddled around between a few Hollywood leading ladies, including Jolie, Winona Ryder (who has arguably been on the decline for some time now), and Charlize Theron.

I hope they are not going to overhype it because they have a LONG way to go before this puppy gets released.
Jolie has already provided some quotes about it months before production even began and now they are already showing pictures? Let’s hope all the Disney remakes are still “in” by the time this one gets released.
The picture looks great though, I’m also curious about the costumes. I’m really rooting for Fanning (especially her!) but the other cast members are awesome too (Staunton!).

Agreed, Swinton would be amazing but she already played an evil queen character so I don’t want to typecast her. She can play different roles and completely become them. For her to play an evil queen every time such projects come up would be a waste of her talent.
I also agree about Jolie not trying to sexualize the part like she often does. She can act so there’s no need to distract audiences from crappy acting with sexual innuendos =).
Besides, she herself already said that they were going to try and soften the character and explain the evil which I hope isn’t true. Evil is evil, let’s keep Maleficent who she is and not try and excuse her, it takes the edge away and completely ruins a classic story.

Perhaps, like Affleck, Pitt’s strength is behind the camera? All those actors and roles you listed are great examples of perfomances that I get excited about.
Also, I usually get more ramped up depending on the director that is attached to the movie. For example, PT Anderson’s The Master.

I wanted to say the same, my first choice for seeing a movie is the director
And it’s almost always safe to assume that a good director will make a good casting call. The Master is primarily exciting because of PTA and then because of JP and PSH. And yes, Brad produced The Departed. It was a full on Plan B production.

She looks great but like someone said above, what was spectacular about the cartoon version was Maleficent’s (Eleanor Audley’s) incredible voice.
Jolie has such a nondescript voice. Hopefully it’ll be so visually interesting that you don’t notice her boring voice.
Aside from that, I hope she doesn’t sexualize her-there is nothing sexy about this witch. She’s beautiful in a purely aesthetic sense; there isn’t supposed to be anything even remotely sexually appealing about her. She’s sort of asexual in her beauty-like Tilda Swinton.
I wonder how much of the film will feature her as the Mistress of All Evil and how much will be about her genesis? I mean, obviously they’ve cast Aurora so there is going to be some of the Sleeping Beauty story weaved in but how the heck long is this movie going to be if they’ve got both Maleficent’s transformation AND Aurora who seems to come along pretty long after Maleficent gets established.
I don’t want this to be an exposition-fest or a flashback-fest like Snow White and the Huntsman was.

Ok,I’m back.I actually had meant to get all looney-fied,but my little son started crying.Anyhoo,I hope her costumes will be as awesome as Charlize’s in the Huntsman.I watched a program on how they made her dresses for the movie.They were actually quite amazing.I think they could do better with the horns,but we’ll see.It’s only one pic.

She looks GREAT as Maleficent!
But who’s playing the bird? Will he be trained or CGI?

I was hoping she would have greenish skin!

They just started production on the movie, so I’m sure they are trying things out…her skin may be greenish in the movie…they may even change the horns…but whatever, Angie is perfect for this part…those that mentioned Tilda…I’m sorry, I think she looks like an android! I think she is a brilliant actress, but beautiful, c’mon people….

Angelina does bitchy, intense, and scary really well. . I definitely think she’s going to pull this one off. .

Hmm, also I think disney needs to be careful about casting awesome villainesses against weaker heroes. If the movie’s uneven, it’s just bad, cf Snow White/Huntsman. WTH? Cast an equally awesome hero with the villain and have a real blockbuster.

Okay, that’s obviously a hat Maleficent is wearing and the hat is covering her horns. You can see that the black hat material isn’t supposed to be part of her skin by how it lies on her forehead. So maybe under that “hat” are the real CGI horns.
Maybe she turns green when she gets mad or ramps up her evil or something. I can’t imagine that they’re going to give away things like that this early on.
I’m thinking Maleficient was with Aurora’s dad first but wouldn’t have his children because she was too obsessed trying to stay youthful and beautiful taking all kinds of evil potions and doing evil Pilates in the dungeon’s gym so he left her for his new Queen and poor Maleficient can’t help what a stalking beyotch she has become. Yea, that’s the ticket.
