Angelina Jolie to play Maleficent in Tim Burton's Sleeping Beauty?

I saw a tweet between @nucksgrl and @LittleLauren about the possibility of Angelina Jolie playing Maleficent in Tim Burton's rumoured flick based on the evil character from the classic tale of "Sleeping Beauty"

Here's what I found:

Two months ago, AICN reported that director Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland) was planning to develop "Maleficent," another live-action/CG feature film, this time based on the classic "Sleeping Beauty" fairy tale.

THR has now confirmed the news, adding that Linda Woolverton (Alice in Wonderland) will be writing the script. Disney has yet to make an official deal with Burton, as it considers hiring Woolverton the first step in a long process.

The plan is not to just re-tell the same story; the new movie will instead focus on the villainous Maleficent, who curses the infant Princess Aurora to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday after not being invited to the baby's christening.

She is often viewed as the most powerful and sinister of the Disney Villains, frequently acting as their leader in many crossovers.

Furthermore, regarding Jolie's involvement:

Angelina Jolie could soon play a famous villain on the big screen.

The actress, 34, is in talks to assume the role of Maleficent, the wicked fairy godmother, in a live-action remake of Sleeping Beauty to be directed by Tim Burton, the Los Angeles Times reports.

In the original animated flick, Maleficent cast a spell on Sleeping Beauty that caused her to prick her finger and sleep for 100 years, awaking only after getting kissed by a prince.

Disney declined to comment, and Jolie's manager could not be reached by comment by the Times.

Jolie is currently filming The Tourist alongside Johnny Depp in Venice, Italy. Her next kid-friendly flick, Kung Fu Panda 2, hits theaters in June 2011.

Mandy's Mind - The first flick I saw in theatre was Disney's Sleeping Beauty. I think Jolie would make a wonderful Maleficent and Tim Burton did a great job with Alice, i would love to see him make a dark version of Sleeping Beauty focussing on Maleficent.

I love those kinds of stories...

I am a huge fan of Gregory Maguire, an authour who takes classic stories and manipulates them exposing various social and political aspects within them. He wrote "Wicked" and "Confessions of an Ugly Step Sister" and "Mirror Mirror"

What are your thoughts on Tim Burton making this film? and Jolie as the lead? Time will tell how it all comes together!

Brangelina Split Rumours

x17 posted this:

News Of The World and Star mag are reporting that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have signed a $330 million split deal!

Though Brad and Angelina are not married, the tabloids claim that the two have taken "legal steps to dissolve their union including how to divide their fortune and who gets custody of their six kids." A source told NOTW the agreement will give them joint custody of their 6 children but the kids will live full-time with Angelina. "The contract was like a tailor-made version of a pre-nuptial agreement except for an unmarried couple's split," the source says. "It seemed clear they want the world to know they'll both play a part in the upbringing of the children."

Brad and Angelina were last seen together on January 6 in NYC (the picture above was taken after the not so happy couple left dinner) and X17online can exclusively report that while the couple's kids were in school in Los Angeles as usual, NO ONE has been in their Los Feliz home for the past week.

Calls to Brad and Angelina's reps were not immediately returned - we'll bring you the latest as soon as we hear it!

Think this is true? Or just a phony tabloid report?
