Angelina Jolie eying "Maleficent" role? (Sleeping Beauty movie)

Last January, it was reported that Tim Burton is eying to develop another classic Disney tale which is "Sleeping Beauty". The new adaption will focus on the villain character "Maleficent" (Mistress of All Evil)".

LA Times is now adding more spice with the forthcoming movie. Reportedly, Angelina Jolie has expressed her interest in the titular villain role "Maleficent".

The idea of Tim Burton collaborating with Angelina Jolie really pumps me up. It will be very interesting and intriguing seeing Angelina doing the evil witch.
