Angelina Jolie Seathes Pure Evil in New Maleficent Trailer


The most recent interpretation of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale is a much darker looking take that focuses on the villain, Maleficent which literally means, "to do evil." The dream trailer weaves together scenes of Angelina Jolie as the wicked mistress of all evil over Lana Del Rey's signing of the classic Disney song "Once Upon a Dream." Del Rey's cover of the song indeed creates a very creepy atmosphere, perfect for setting the mood of the movie. The trailer first aired on Sunday during the Grammy's, showing bits of rising star, Elle Fanning as Princess Aurora.

Sleeping Beauty isn't the only fairy tale to get a modern interpretation as of late. Snow White and the Huntsman featuring Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth came out in 2012 receiving less than stellar reviews. Hopefully Maleficent doesn't fall to the same fate. The movie is slated for release on May 30th.
