Walt Disney Studios has given us a release date for the Angelina Jolie starring as the evil villain from the Sleeping Beauty story, Maleficent. Look for the wickedness to fly March 14, 2014 in a film that gives us an origins story of sorts for the character that was made popular in the animated classic Sleeping Beauty.
Robert Stromberg (production designer for Avatar, Alice in Wonderland) is directing, while Linda Woolverton is penning the script (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King) and the film will be produced by Joe Roth (Alice in Wonderland, Oz: The Great and Powerful).
