I'm well aware that this isn't much to go on, and I could end up being disappointed come trailer time, but the potential gets me excited and I can't help it.
Also.

Here’s what Jolie had to say about the character in a recent interview with EW:
In this version, Sleeping Beauty is the nemesis instead of the good guy?
It’s not anti-princess, but it’s the first time they’re looking at this epic woman.
Is it sympathetic to her, or is she a straight-up villain?
It’s both. I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesn’t mean she can’t have other [warmer] qualities. You have to figure out the puzzle of what she is.
So there are some redeeming qualities to Maleficent the witch?
It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something that’s good for young girls in this, because it sounds like you’re saying they should be a villain. [Maleficent] is actually a great person. But she’s not perfect. She’s far from perfect.
There’s a tradition of taking a classic character who is a villain and telling the story from his or her perspective. John Gardner did it with the 1971 novel Grendel, and more recently we got the witch’s story in Gregory Maguire’s Wicked, and the musical it inspired. We like it when the bad guy is deeper than we thought.
In general, it’s a very good message to say, “Let’s look at something from the other side.” But then also, what our challenge will be — and the script writer [The Lion King and Alice in Wonderland’s Linda Woolverton] has already cracked it — is not to simplify it, not to just reverse the story but tell a bigger story that doesn’t point the finger [at Princess Aurora] either. It doesn’t flip it.
Since it’s a Disney film, will this version of Maleficent be close to the one we know from their 1959 animated film?
We’re still figuring out the look. We’re experimenting with different things. But the horns are the horns — you can’t deny them. You have to have horns.
I like the fact that they are playing around and seeing what works/looks best. I honestly think Angelina will be great in this role and I really want a reason to go see one of her movies again.
This is a big no for me until I watch the future trailer, and know more about it. Angelina Jolie being tied to a movie doesn't mean it'll be as amazing as some people think.
Yeah right, Ari, that's what they said about Tomb Raider and that turned out to be awesome!
... wait a minute...
Okay, how about Salt? Crap, no. Umm, The Tourist? Nope, scratch that. Mr and Mrs Smith?? Argh, come on! Hackers? HNNNNNGH!! She must have made a good movie at some point, surely!

I really need to see a trailer first before I have a thought one way or the other for the movie...but it's the difference between a Mirror, Mirror or a Snow White and the Huntsman direction...
They used to be cool but that was a long time ago.
Jacob and Wilhelm will be turning around in their graves.
I don't know what you're talking about, they bring some cool movies. I have almost nothing to complain about them. Is it because they do too much live-action movies instead of cartoons? I don't get it...

It's got nothing to do with that. I guess it's jus not my taste...
