Maleficent

Back in April it was first reported that Sharlto Copley, star of District 9 and The A-Team, was in talks to play the villain in Spike Lee’s remake of Oldboy. This week that casting was officially confirmed, and now the actor is adding more new projects to his to-do list.

It’s being reported that Copley has entered into negotiations to play the male lead in Maleficent, the Walt Disney retelling of the Sleeping Beauty fable that focuses on the evil villain. Angelina Jolie is set to star as Maleficent, while Copley would be playing King Stefan.

Maleficent

Walt Disney has settled on an official release date for Maleficent, the retelling of their Sleeping Beauty fable that focuses more on the 1959 animated classic’s villain.

Maleficent is now set to arrive in theaters on March 14, 2014, so anyone who’s been excited to see the movie will have to wait a bit.

The live-action retelling will star Angelina Jolie as the dark fairy Maleficent, Disney’s “ultimate villain.” It will tell the story of how she came to be, and what eventually led her to curse the main character of Sleeping Beauty, Princess Aurora.

‘True Grit’ Oscar Nominee Hailee Steinfeld In Line For ‘Sleeping Beauty’

Just recently, a short list of Oscar-nominated young actresses were in the running for the female lead in the adaptation of The Hunger Games, including 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld. Eventually the role was awarded to Jennifer Lawrence, but now Steinfeld is already attached to star in a new take on the tale of Sleeping Beauty.

The budding star — who somehow found a way to steal almost every scene she was in with Academy Award winners Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and fellow nominee Josh Brolin in the Coen brothers’ True Grit — is only “attached” at the moment because the entire project is just a spec package at the moment, which is being sent out to various potential buyers right now.

Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Winter CastleDisney Parks Blog has posted a time-lapsed video of Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle at Disneyland Park as it transforms from its daytime appearance to its lit up nighttime look.

Watch the video here below.

The 45-second video, set to the classic Christmas tune “Carol Of The Bells,” shows Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at the California theme park decorated with a beautiful winter wonderland design. We then see as the sky darkens, the lights on the castle begin to glow, sparkle, and change colors. The end of the time-lapsed video shows part of one of the nighttime light shows.

At the end of the video, you saw a quickened version of one of the nighttime light shows. The Sleeping Beauty Winter Castle light show is divided into three “acts” over the course of the evening. Each one begins at the Castle and travels the length of Main Street, U.S.A., finishing at the Town Square Christmas tree. Each act features a magical snowfall, and the final act concludes with “Believe”¦in Holiday Magic” fireworks.

Cinderella

At first, it seemed like a pretty cool idea — the thought of a beloved childhood classic like Walt Disney’s Alice in Wonderland given the live-action remake treatment, that is. Now it might be safe to begin wondering just how far these remakes will go.

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland was surely a visual treat and made lots and lots of money, but aside from that it wasn’t all that well-received. Even so, it wasn’t long before we began hearing of a new project that would take another Disney classic in Sleeping Beauty, and develop a live-action remake based on the evil villain Maleficent.

Now comes word of a third project on the horizon; Deadline Hollywood is reporting that the studio is moving forward with the development of a flesh and blood new version of Cinderella.
