Angelina Jolie: 'Maleficent' Gets a Release Date!

Angelina Jolie‘s upcoming film Maleficent will be released in the United States on March 14, 2014, Walt Disney Studios has announced.

The 36-year-old actress takes on the title role in the live-action film, which “explores the origins of the evil fairy Maleficent and what led her to curse Princess Aurora in Disney’s animated classic Sleeping Beauty.”

Elle Fanning could share the big screen with Angie – she’s reportedly in talks to play Aurora.

“It’s a really great script. I’m having a lot of fun,” Angelina previously said about the project. “I’ve already got my horns fitted. My kids are very happy….It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something that’s good for young girls in this, because it sounds like you’re saying they should be a villain. [Maleficent] is actually a great person. But she’s not perfect. She’s far from perfect.”
