E! Maleficent coming up (next?)

To-date Maleficent is the only project listed as being in pre-production on IMDb.  She has never mentioned Luc Besson -- perhaps because none of her interviewers have asked specifically about him.  During the course of Besson's interview with French news site 7Sure7 for his Aung San Suu Kyi biopic The Lady he did confirm that they would be working together on his next project. Initial reports had filming set to begin in Paris in April although a recent tweet said it would be in July.  Between March -- after the Oscars -- and July there is certainly time for her to squeeze in Maleficent.  She could take a break in June while Brad does 12 Years A Slave.

Is Angelina Jolie Ready to Quit Acting?

Today 6:52 AM PST by Marc Malkin

How much does Angelina Jolie love directing?
Well, she loves it so much that..

She could see herself giving up acting one day to go behind the camera fulltime.
"I still love acting–if I can find those roles that matter," Jolie told me at the Producers Guild Awards, where her writing and directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey was honored with the Stanley Kramer Award. "But if I don't, it's nice to be able to shine the spotlight on another actress your think is extremely talented and give her the spotlight."
Fortunately, Jolie is still finding roles that matter to her. Coming up is starring as Sleeping Beauty's nemesis in the live-action fairy-tale thriller Maleficent. "It's neat for my kids," Jolie said.
Asked how evil she'll be in the flick, she smiled, "She's got horns and all."
Perhaps a superhero movie could be in her and Brad Pitt's future? During the Producers Guild Awards, which took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the two were spotted chatting with comic book legend Stan Lee.
