Maleficent Plot Synopsis:
A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal - an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces a battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom - and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well.
Disney, Angelina Jolie and Robert Stromberg has just released the poster to their latest movie, Maleficent. We knew it was coming but now we are a little closer with the poster saying it will be released Summer 2014, which is really May 30, 2014. Angelina has not been on-screen in about three and a half years and I can"t wait to see her.
