‘Maleficent’: New Videos and Character Posters Show Wicked Angelina Jolie “Maleficent” is flying into theaters in a couple of weeks and Disney is releasing more promotional showcasing the magic and darkness of Angelina Jolie’s blockbuster. Take a look at the new “Awkward Situation” clip, TV spot and character posters. “From Disney comes “Maleficent”—the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959 classic “Sleeping Beauty.” A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well.”
