First look Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, set photos of her flying

Disney’s live-action exploration of the hidden life of Sleeping Beauty villain Maleficent has been on the docket for some time, but it seemed like a film that might never get made.

Once Angelina Jolie‘s schedule opened up and she committed to the role in a serious way, everything changed.

Directed by Robert Stromberg, the film also stars Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville. Maleficent opens in 3D on March 14th, 2014.

Now we’ve got the first image of Jolie in costume as the evil character, and a few new details thanks to a press release from Disney.
