The official poster art and trailer for Walt Disney Pictures' upcoming fantasy adventure “Maleficent” starring Angelina Jolie has just been launched by the studio. “Maleficent” is 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.

Opening across the Philippines on May 30, 2014, “Maleficient” is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.
