Angelina Jolie Is Evil Eyes And Serious Horns On The Poster For Maleficent

The trailer for Disney's Sleeping Beauty redux Maleficent will land online tomorrow, ahead of rolling out into cinemas with Frozen. I'm very curious to see how Angelina Jolie is playing this. The animated version of the character, and Eleanor Audley's performance as her voice, are pretty much indelible, I think. Jolie had a tough, tough gig.
