Disney is bringing Sleeping Beauty to life - Lord of the Rings style.
In a new trailer for Maleficent - which sees Angelina Jolie portraying the eponymous villianess opposite Elle Fanning's Princess Aurora - clips of the original 1959 animated film are intercut against the live-action adaptation of the Brothers Grimm tale, emphasizing the advancements in animation today. More new scenes featuring Jolie appear in the video (seen after the jump), including one which sees her - despite her evil reputation - warning the princess, "Aurora there is an evil in this wood and I cannot keep you from it," followed by what appears to be an epic battle involving Tolkien-like giant thorns that come to life.

What’s Tim Burton Doing Next?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adaptation, Animation, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors,
Alice in Wonderland is in the till, and director Tim Burton is already thinking about his next project. What will it be? Some rumors suggest that he’s going to take an entirely new twist on a very old Disney Classic.
Sleeping Beauty, gorgeously set to the strains of the Tchaikovsky ballet by the same name, was the third feature-length film created by the Walt Disney Corporation and contains some of the most iconic fairy tale imagery in cinema history. Now, gossip says that Tim Burton wants to use this classic story for a new live-action flick…that focuses on the film’s villain Maleficent.
Let me guess. Helena Bonham Carter is going to play the role, right?
Though this is all just rumor (and Tim Burton is currently working on a project even now), it seems to have a ring of truth. We’ll keep you updated as more details unfold.
