In both the original fairytale by Charles Perrault as well as the Disney movie from 1959
Maleficent is depicted as an evil fairy plotting against Sleeping Beauty
however
In the 2014 live-action film we see Angelina Jolie playing aleph ascent and she's given a very complex
Backstory and it shows a lot about how Maleficent became to be. So evil after being betrayed like how she was
So we're gonna take a look at a little bit of the history of
Maleficent and explore some facts that we know about the new film Maleficent the mistress of evil
Asked me to marry him
No, I wasn't really asking nor was I what's going on everybody?
My name is Leroy Kenton and welcome back to FTD facts. Now there have been many different versions of Sleeping Beauty over the centuries
However, none of them had a character quite like Maleficent in the 1959 Disney film
There is a ballet version where an evil fairy was in it called Carabosse as well as many of the versions of the story
Have an evil fairy that appears to curse Princess Aurora who's also known as Briar Rose at her birth
But the evil fairy is never really mentioned again in those stories Maleficent
However in the Disney 1959 film she's not really given a backstory
She just shows up as like this evil and sinister female fairy. Even her parents just looks pure evil
I mean like the green skin the yellow eyes she has the headdress that's in the shape of two horns, even her face shape
It's very narrow as well as she carries a staff in wields magic and can summon
Minions to do her bidding now
One thing we know about Maleficent is that she is probably the most powerful
Disney villain in history Cheban describes her powers as being all the powers of hell
Oh, shall you deal with me?
Now there are some differences with the live-action Disney version of Maleficent
One of those differences being in the original Disney film Maleficent was the one who transforms into a dragon
However, in the 2014 Disney live-action will be Maleficent. She isn't the one that transforms into the dragon needless to say
We see a very different
Maleficent in the live-action
portrayal after the first
Maleficent movie the production of Maleficent mistress of evil began at the end of last year may and wrapped up towards end of
August now why has a sequel of Maleficent taken so long while the original
Maleficent was a huge success back in the year 2014 and right away Disney began plans in developing a sequel
however
It was very difficult to line up the schedules of Antonia Jolie as well as Elle Fanning on top of that Angelina Jolie
Worked really close with the writers and producers to get the script just right
so there's a lot of different logistics and details and everything that they had to address before the movie could get going and
Production could begin the second installment in the Maleficent series begins several years after the first Maleficent movie
Angelina Jolie in her own words says in this film we posed
The question is Maleficent good enough to be Aurora's mother
There's also the question of whether not Aurora wants to get married and if she will get married
The actors Elle Fanning
Imelda Staunton Sam Reilly Lesley Manville and Juno temple will all continue their roles from the first film
So who are some of the new actors that we're gonna see well?
We're gonna see Michelle Pfeiffer who plays Queen Ingrid. Then there's ed skrein who's gonna play a new villain?
We're also gonna see Chu Hotel
Ejiofor then there's Robert Lindsay who also joins a cast along with Harris Dickens who plays Prince Philip?
