It seems that Tim Burton may be taking on another Disney project, following Alice in Wonderland. SciFi Mafia reports:
“Tim Burton is being rumored to direct MALEFICENT, a remake of Sleeping Beauty for Disney. Maleficent is the villain that Disney created for Sleeping Beauty and went on to become the main villain in the “Kingdom Hearts” video games. The film will reportedly be the Sleeping Beauty story through Maleficent’s eyes.”

I love Disney villains, even more than I love Disney princesses (if you can believe that), and Maleficent is my absolute favorite. I am just thrilled at this upcoming project, and not just because of the Disney villain angle. Much of my work in real life involves proving that villainized women in ancient history were, in fact, the victims of biased writers. I can’t wait to see the story from Maleficent’s point of view. Next up, the Wicked Stepmother? I will at least be enjoying her story in book form, as I purchased a redemptive re-telling of Snow White over the holidays: Fairest of All, by Serena Valentino (2009). What do you think of a Maleficent movie? Please comment below.
Sleeping Beauty was always my favorite fairytale growing up, it’ll be interesting to see how Tim Burton puts his spin on it.
Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast were my two favorites growing up, but really I love all fairy tales. Often the stories are used as templates for modern stories, so it will be fascinating to see Burton’s spin, I agree. I can’t wait to see a sympathetic Maleficent.
she’s a lot prettier than i remember her being!
She is totally the prettiest villain. Why do you think I love her so much? Just kidding. I love her because she’s evil.
