Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent wears a sack dress, giant horns AND she can fly

Dear British paparazzi: INVEST IN A TELEPHOTO LENS. For the love of God. I’m so tired of seeing new photos from the English set of Maleficent, only to battle chronic blurriness to the point where I barely know what I’m looking at. These are new photos of Angelina Jolie (I’m guessing) doing her own green screen stunt work yesterday in an English countryside. Perhaps the same countryside with the cows (OF DOOM!!!!!). Angelina is attached to some kind of crane and she’s high up in the air, presumably because Maleficent can FLY, bitches. Things that make Maleficent awesome: sack dresses, horns, the ability to rock red lipstick, friendly cows and FLYING.

The Mail confirms that Angelina is wearing prosthetic cheekbones and some ear additions too. They also said that Angelina is hellbent on doing her own stuntwork for the film, something she’s always pretty keen on. I wonder if she’s working with Simon Crane on this one? Angelina and Simon met on the first Tomb Raider film, and I believe she’s brought him in one every action film she’s done since. He’s not listed for Maleficent… but he did work with Brad on World War Z. Maybe Simon needs a break after that cockup.

Anyway, this is just an FYI. Bitch can fly now. Take notes.

    Fly, my pretties! FLY!!!!!!

    • Hautie says:

      LMAO! Where are those monkeys at anyway!?

      And I suspect that these pictures were taken with a telephoto lens.

      But when you are 5 miles away, there is only so much a lens can do. 🙂

    • Sakyiwaa says:

      Omg, Angie is awesome. This movie looks like a BIG DEAL, doesn’t it? I cannot wait to see it! Miss seeing Angie onscreen. She’s my 4eva super duper superstar love. I can’t seem to get into the up-n-coming starlets. They are too ubiquitous. The age of the ‘gossip blog’ is probably to blame for all that but Angie’s definitely got me. And I can’t wait to see this!!! Uno problemo though… 2014!!! Seriously, that’s like, two years away! Get it together, Disney people! I NEED to see this like YESTERDAY! Lol. Gosh, 2014, smh… that’s like waiting for a donor organ, omg! PUSH RELEASE DATE FORWARD! PUSH RELEASE DATE FORWARD!! PUSH RELEASE DATE FORWARD!!! Phew! Ok, rant over. I’m calming down now.
      “She can FLY, bitches!!! Take notes!”

        LOL. Thank you for typing everything I am thinking right now!! The Jolie looks MAGNIFICANT~

  2. lisa2 says:

    I love her.. and love that she does her own stunts. And that is her not the stunt double. I think her long stunt person the woman in the blue shirt Eunice is the stunt coordinator on this film. I saw more HD pictures and this is her.

    I love how great her posture is in some of the shots. She has great posture. I don’t get why people are upset by the costume. I think the Snow White films are kind of making people think she should be dress in those kind of elaborate dresses. Not the same movie or character.

    Angie is still badass and I love it.

  3. cmc says:

    They probably do have amazing lenses but are SO far away they can’t get better shots.

    Also, this movie is going to be epic. Can’t wait to see it!

  4. lower-case deb says:

    what’s that blue-orange-tipped antenna thingy on her back? are they going to photoshop in some fairy wings? i hope it’s some proper, bad-a$s maleficent cowdragon queen wings, not some flimsy horneyed tinkerbell wings.

    and she’s barefooted? in a field of tall grass full of horses and cows. she’s brave.

  5. Bare Feet says:

    This look SO COOL- I wish it was coming out sooner!! Yes, she is brave for going barefoot- she did the same thing for Salt- ran barefoot all over DC!

    • Rhea says:

      Seems like so much fun. Getting paid to do things that would make your kids think you’re the coolest mom ever!! 🙂 Definitely gonna watch this movie.

      • Red Granny says:

        I want to gat paid an assload of money for doing all the cool things, too. Angelina is one lucky bitch!

  6. Ruby Red Lips says:

    Even with the prosthetics and blurry shots, Angie still looks stunningly beautiful in the shot with the blue background….*sigh* love love love Angelina 😀

  7. Julia says:

    What a mess. And it’s not even hot mess.

    • Rose says:

      So true. Lady Gaga-like prosthetics, mud-brown rags, elvish ears.
      Maleficent is stately and beautiful, with purple/black robes that match her pet crow. Hopefully they take on some of the characteristics from the original movie that made Maleficent so epic.

    • Sakyiwaa says:

      -1. I simply disagree, Julia. This does not look like a ‘hot mess’. And YOU have no authority to say so. You can only assume.

    • Sal says:

      Better being a hot mess for a character in a movie than a hot mess in real life who is a homewrecking man-eater and can’t keep a man and is the town bike….

  8. Ming says:

    Jennifer Aniston: You think this is a fuckin’ costume ?

    Everyone else: Well, you know, I think I recognize a costume.

    JA: This is not a costume !!!!!

    Everyone else: *sigh*

    JA: Finally this creature has taken off it’s mask to reveal it’s true face….

    Everyone else: Oh god…

    JA:…after all these years….all these years *cries incoherently*

  9. NM6804 says:

    See, we will know everything about this film before it comes out. Probably the best things will leak and high expectations will culminate into dissapointment when this film actually comes out.

    Jolie won’t have the element of surprise when it comes to teasing us with soundbites during her promotour because really…how can she top the pictures!?

    • lisa2 says:

      Actually we don’t know about the film. You made a huge leap from a few pictures of her in a rig. We have seen set pics from lots of films. There are lots of people excited for this film. It comes out in 2014. That is enough time between seeing a few pictures to get all excited.

      She’s Angelina her fans will want to see her despite seeing a few early pics. That may or may not stay in the film to begin with.

      • NM6804 says:

        Sorry but:

        – Jolie talking about Maleficent months before production began (cast wasn’t even assembled yet)
        – Studio releasing a picture to beat the paps
        – Consecutive pictures from set revealing costumes + abilities
        – We already now the origin of this story

        This film comes out in 2014!

        What else can she talk about?
        If this scene is only 5min or so, it’s 5min that you already saw and that’s a huge spoiler for a film that rides on a lot of money and expectations.

        Let’s hope so @Tiegs but I bet people won’t forget that Maleficent will probably be flying :). And it’s the paps that are to blame too.

    • Tiegs says:

      I agree they’re showing too much, but it’s not released until 2014, so most of these pics will be forgotten.

      This may be the first Jolie film I’ve seen since Mr. & Mrs. Smith if the trailer looks good. I’ve loved sleeping beauty since I was a kid.

    • Kim1 says:

      Well we saw dozens of pics from Salt and it still made $295 million worlwide.Most filmgoers will never see these pics.

      • NM6804 says:

        I went to see Salt because I knew there would be a car (chase) scene and luckily, it was badass enough so I wasn’t dissapointed.

      • Toot says:

        @ Kim1

        Agree. We’ve seen one costume and area, but supposedly the film is ruined now. Whatever.

    • D1 says:

      @NM6804 – This is one of the things I hate about the current climate of marketing films. In the past, all you had were a few film stills and a trailer before a movie came out.

      Now you have an endless stream of production photos from every high-profile movie set, constant leaking of spoilers, telephoto shots of outdoor scenes by lurking paparazzi, 5 or 6 different trailers, each longer than the next, teaser campaigns, and extended “previews” which contain several minutes of film footage.

      Prometheus and anything by Christopher Nolan are the most annoying recent examples of this trend. It’s almost impossible to avoid if you spend any time online. I long for the days when you could walk into a movie barely knowing anything about the plot, art direction and set design, costumes, etc.

      Now all you whippersnappers get off my lawn!

        Well said. I’m stealing this in my real life and not attributing.

      • lower-case deb says:

        that’s so true. spoilers are everywhere now. either “unnamed sources”, teaser trailers, teaser trailers of teaser trailers, sneak peak to teaser trailer’s teasers, or just members of cast & crew tweeting/posting production sketches/notes/whatever online (which invariably gets RT-ed, forwarded, etc).

        however, that being said, the past few years has been a boon for me. i’m the type of person who can’t stand surprises. if it’s an adaptation of a book, i’ll go read the book first if i haven’t read it before. if it’s based on a true story or a biopic or a historical drama, i’d research the hell out of the topic. or if it’s an original screenplay, i’d pump friends for the plot and storyline.

        some of my friends can’t understand it. and those who’ve watched the movie would actually feel uncomfortable on my behalf as they tell me the plot details and story twists. they’d be saying “are you sure you want to know” every two sentences.

        i’m better now, in that i challenge myself to be surprised, but it’s really difficult for me not to go on google and just search. 🙂

        i was one of those kids who’d be really upset with surprise birthday parties. i’m better now at hiding it. because as i get older and especially with kids, birthday party is less about myself than it is for the fun of the whole family and the kids. i know that they have fun planning and plotting, so i grin and bear it.

        but with movies, the more spoiler the better 🙂 but i know this sentiment is not shared by a lot of people.

      • NM6804 says:

        Exactly D1 and I am one of those people that like to go see a film and be genuinly amazed, surprised and feel like I’m going into another world (reading gives me that pleasure too).

        Granted, it is also my fault for clicking these articles but I have to shut down my internet and close my eyes and ears when I go out to NOT see all the spoilers. And really, when I see these pictures (half ruined anyway), I can’t help but read the story so yeah, fuck me and fuck the studios for leaving no room for surprises.

    • Red Granny says:

      I WANT to get spoiled, gonna watch the movie anyways 😀

  10. Bite me aka aniston says:

    Love love love

  11. Talie says:

    I think it’s so cute that she’s doing this for movie for her daughters.

  12. Malificent says:

    Hmmmph…. My horns are longer than hers…. Copycat.

  13. madpoe says:

    Childhood memory RUINED!

  14. Jackie O says:

    those fake cheekbones look creepy. a sack with vulcan ears…can’t wait!

  15. Jane says:

    Seriously? Ughh just no. I loved Sleeping Beauty but I don’t like Jolie as an actress so this definately isn’t my cup of tea. Is this the new thing? To remake fairytales? (Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman). Now this. I bet Cinderella’s stepmother is about to get her close up and maybe the teapot in Beauty and the Beast could get her own film. Awesome.

    • lisa2 says:

      There have been several remakes and retellings of Cinderella for years. This is not the first nor the last.

      Drew B. did my favorite of Cinderella. I’m a huge fan of Angie and will see this. Don’t understand why people who are not fans care or need to say that they won’t see it. That should be obvious.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      Mirror Mirror had to be one of the worst movies ever made.

  16. ladybert62 says:

    With those horns, she looks good – they seem natural! I think she should keep them and wear them all the time.

  17. Anon says:

    Wonder if the stunt coordinator has to remind Angelina not to smile in the shots like they did in ‘Salt’? The girl just likes do stunts, it does look like a lot of fun. Bad-ass Angie.

  18. Riana says:

    Gonna wait for an official trailer because so far the stills aren’t doing it for me.

  19. I’m gonna get all out looney for this movie.I’m going to make myself a set of horns and wear them to the theater.Oh ya…Who’s the cool Mom now!

  20. sup says:

    lol the first pic looks hilarious

  21. F5 says:

    LMAO! hilarious 😀

  22. Isa says:

    I wish they hadn’t put her in brown. I wish they had put her in black that shines blue/green.

  23. Hubbahun says:

    Yuck. That is all.

  24. SpunkyPR says:

    I get that AJ is the draw, but is there anyone else in this movie?

    • lisa2 says:

      They are shooting outdoor scenes. Obviously there are other actors. They shot some battle scenes the other day. I think they are shooting in some order. Elle was not even in the UK. So she is not working yet. Besides the film just started shooting on the 13th. Some are acting like this has been going on for a year. They are doing scenes in studio too. Besides that Angie has had a couple of days off. So she was not working everyday either.

    • Sakyiwaa says:

      You bet AJ is the draw. But you can check other sites maybe the papz ‘deigned’ to shoot the other fabulous actors on this movie.
      *This is not sarcasm. Papz are uppity schmucks who only shoot in-demand celebs. Not all celebs are worthy of their hallowed lens.

    • Sakyiwaa says:

      *This is not sarcasm. Papz are uppity schmucks who only shoot in-demand celebs. Not all celebs are worthy of their hallowed lenses…blurry or otherwise.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      I am not an AJ fan by any stretch. I don’t think I’ve seen anything with her since Lara Croft BUT….

      The movie is called Maleficent. AJ plays Maleficent. Maleficent is the draw. I have no interest in sweet little Sleeping Beauty. I do want to see the dragon but she won’t be up and ready until the CGI is done.

  25. samira677 says:

    Wow the haters sound stupid. How in the world is seeing Angelina in costume ruining and telling the whole film? These shots tell nothing. It doesn’t even show that Angelina is flying. With the green screen anything could be happening.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      They did the same with Anne Hathaway and Catwoman. That movie is still not out.

  26. ZenB!tch says:

    You need a sack dress to fly… it’s a rule of fairy tales. LOL

    Did they put elf ears on her?

  27. AnneOriginal says:

    I really don’t like that they cast Jolie for this role. She does nothing for me as an actress.

  28. Snowpea says:

    Angie is one giant snoozefest these days.

  29. Jaxx says:

    Can’t wait to see this. She’ll be gorgeous and wicked like Beowulf. She does good wicked.

  30. Elj says:

    Somewhere in a darkened cave Lady Gaga is imagining what parts of this she can steal for her next ‘original’ look.
