The character of Maleficent is arguably Disney’s most popular villain. The fascination with her began with her introduction in the animated classic Sleeping Beauty, when the dark fairy crashed a christening to curse the newborn Princess Aurora, then later transformed into a dragon to keep a prince from rescuing her from a death-like sleep. Since then, Maleficent’s image has been one of Disney’s most iconic, even co-starring with a host of other Disney villains in a battle between good and evil in Disneyland’s most popular live show, Fantasmic.
Then, in 2014, the character was magnificently brought to life by Angelina Jolie, who seemed to have been born to play the role in Disney’s live-action Maleficent.  Her intense, spot-on portrayal of the dark fairy won her critical praise, and huge box office numbers reflected audience approval.  Now, five years later, fans are finally being rewarded with the long-awaited sequel: Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

Joachim Rønning (Kon Tiki) directs what appears to be a darker tale than its predecessor. Rønning directed Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, so he’s no stranger to Disney films with extraordinary characters and eye-popping visual effects. If the trailers for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil are any indication, Rønning is going to take audiences on a powerful and bewitching journey that promises further exploration of Maleficent’s world in ways we haven’t seen before.
With tickets now on sale for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil here at Fandango, we sat down with Rønning for an exclusive chat about the film, its star, and the complicated nature of a Disney villain.

Fandango: I’m very excited to see your film. Since childhood, the character of Maleficent has been my favorite Disney villain.
Joachim Rønning: She is mine, too. I also think that a huge part of the success of the first film — the first live-action film — that came out five years ago, was Angelina Jolie and how she portrayed Maleficent and surprising the audience with such a strong emotional core.
And I think, for me, climbing on board and making this next chapter of Maleficent, I think that's very much what I related to, this kind of parent style. I'm a parent myself, I have two daughters, and I was so impressed by what they managed in the first movie to get that all in there in this fantastical universe and spectacle. It was such a strong emotional core. That's what I wanted to do again, to really continue the story of Maleficent and Aurora. And I think we've done that.

Fandango: In terms of the setting, how long after the events of the Maleficent film ends does Maleficent: Mistress of Evil begin?
Rønning: In the story world, maybe three years after. Our story starts with Prince Philip proposing to Aurora, you know, and then Aurora saying yes. She's becoming a woman, she's growing up now. She's going to move out and she's going to be on her own. So that's what starts the whole thing.

Fandango: As you said, in Maleficent, the prominent love story was the mother-daughter relationship between Aurora and Maleficent. There was so much chemistry between Jolie and Fanning, so it was a wonderful thing to watch. Now we have a young man coming into Aurora’s life in a significant way, which creates tension. And you have a teenager, a headstrong teenager, now standing up to her mother figure. Since you and Jolie are both parents of teenagers, how did that color your direction, and how much of that did she bring to her portrayal of Maleficent in this film, now in this new experience as a mother of teenagers?
Rønning: Angelina is a very loving mother, of course. Her kids were on the set all the time, and I had my kids on the set the whole time. And I think what you're touching on now is any parent's biggest fear. It's the day that your kids move out and find someone and you're no longer the center of their universe. It's definitely a huge part of this story.
I think in Maleficent's case, and I think probably in every parent's case, you want what's best for your child, and you want to do anything you can do as a parent in order for your child to be happy. And, I think in the beginning of our story, Maleficent is going along with, in her case, trying to be more human, I guess — going against her own nature because she loves Aurora and she wants Aurora to be happy. And then that thing backfires and she feels betrayed, and she's catapulted into exile and away from Aurora, and it’s the beginning of this huge conflict between them. And it's hard on the child. As a child, of course, you have to discover the world on your own. It's very hard as a child to just be content with what a grown-up will tell you, and, "Yeah, I'm telling you, this is how it is" — but you know, most children, they need to discover it for themselves.

Fandango: The first film was dark, but there was also a lot of lightness and humor there. Would you say that Mistress of Evil is going to be a much darker film and in what ways?
Rønning:  Well, yes, I think it is. It was always a dark fairy tale. And in this film, as I said, Maleficent is thrown into exile, but then she discovers that she's not the only dark fae in this universe. She's not the only Maleficent. So that's when we take this to the next level and really start telling the Maleficent 2.0 version.

Fandango: We only had a really brief look at Maleficent's life as a young fairy before we got into the story of she and Aurora. So you're saying we're going to actually get to see more about Maleficent's life, her past, and the fairy world?
Rønning: Yes, we're expanding the universe and telling the origin story of the dark fae.

Fandango: Maleficent is definitely an anti-hero as painted right now. So if she is a mistress of evil, as the title suggests, what are the challenges of making an “evil” or “bad” character like her family-friendly? How would you complete the sentence, "Yes, she's bad, but ..."?
Rønning: I think that's what we love about Maleficent is that she's unpredictable and she does things that we could only dream of, or she says things that are very blunt and direct and we would like to do that sometimes.
I felt the same when I directed Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Both Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie have managed to create these very unique characters on film, and a huge part of the fascination from the audience when it comes to these characters is that they do things that we can only dream of. They say the opposite of what you would say and they get away with it somehow. In the case of Maleficent, she's a dark fae, but she's also a strong woman that does what she wants.

Fandango: And being strong doesn't necessarily make her evil or bad.
Rønning: Exactly. But we also love Maleficent because she loves Aurora. This love becomes her weakness. But it also turns out to be her strength.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil hits theaters nationwide October 18, 2019, just in time for Halloween.  Get your tickets here!

Teaser trailer





On set, the motorcycle tattoo on his left upper arm was often taped over or covered entirely with make up as in the photo below.  But in the poster, a bit of it is still visible under his left sleeve.

By Edward Davis | The Playlist October 16, 2014 at 12:17PM

Jack O’Connell. Jack O’Connell. Jack O’Connell. Remember that name, you’ll likely be hearing it a lot. The English actor is all the rage for critics because, well, he’s terrific. In 2014, he's dazzled in two roles: the prison drama "Starred Up" (read our review) and the Berlin/Telluride/Toronto/NYFF lauded Irish "Troubles" thriller "'71" (read our review). And Hollywood has already taken notice and pounced. Earlier this year he appeared in “300: Rise of an Empire” (hey, sometimes you have to pay those bills), and later this year he’ll be seen in “Unbroken.”
Which leads us to Angelina Jolie. Her last film, “Maleficent,” is the second highest grossing film of 2014, and will likely stay that way. Asserting her global dominance with a movie that made almost $800 million worldwide, Jolie could do anything she wanted, any role, and with a fat pay day. Instead, the actress is tending to her blossoming directorial career. “Unbroken” is her sophomore feature-length effort and it’s already being positioned as this year’s big awards contender for Universal.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Academy Award® winner Angelina Jolie directs and produces Unbroken, an epic drama that follows the incredible life of Olympian and war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini (Jack O’Connell) who, along with two other crewmen, survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII—only to be caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp. Adapted from Laura Hillenbrand’s (“Seabiscuit: An American Legend”) enormously popular book, Unbroken brings to the big screen Zamperini’s unbelievable and inspiring true story about the resilient power of the human spirit.
Starring alongside O’Connell are Domhnall Gleeson and Finn Wittrock—the airmen with whom Zamperini endured perilous weeks adrift in the open Pacific—Garrett Hedlund and John Magaro as fellow POWs, Alex Russell as Zamperini’s brother, Pete, and, in his English-language debut, Japanese actor Miyavi, as the brutal camp guard known to the men only as “The Bird.” The film also boasts a significant rewrite from Ethan and Joel Coen as well.
As for O’Connell, stardom awaits, but he seems grounded. "Thankfully I've been able to keep my priorities straight and do work for the right reasons,” he said in an interview with The Playlist earlier this year. “And now all of a sudden, a director of Angelina Jolie's caliber turns up and trusts me with the lead role in her next feature film." Good fortune it seems, but the actor is also more than deserving.

These Brand-New 'Maleficent' Posters Have a Lot of Character (EXCLUSIVE)


Posted May 5th, 2014 12:00AM
by Drew Taylor
  
It's "Maleficent" week here at Moviefone, which means that each and every day we'll have a brand new exclusive from Disney's hotly anticipated "Sleeping Beauty" adaptation, culminating in a very special sweepstakes that could land you at the gala premiere -- talk about a fairy tale ending!

But today, we're very pleased to debut new character posters from the movie (below). It might be called "Maleficent," and Angelina Jolie might be rightfully taking center stage, but that doesn't mean that there are a whole host of magical characters deserving of their own chance in the spotlight.

Along with a beautiful poster featuring Jolie's very wicked witch, with an image that will probably be familiar to anyone who has been keeping up with the film's promotional campaign, we've got posters exclusively devoted to Princess Aurora aka Sleeping Beauty (Elle Fanning); Diaval (Sam Riley), Maleficent's confidant and shape shifter (he's the one who turns into a dragon in the trailer); Aurora's father, the shifty King Stefan (Sharlto Copley); and one devoted to the pixies, played (with some CGI-assistance) by Juno Temple, Imelda Staunton, and Lesley Manville... plus a bunch of mysterious magical creatures like that cool tree monster from the trailer and what appear to be trolls reminiscent of the musical kind from "Frozen."

Together, the posters present a wonderful glimpse of the mood and tone of "Maleficent." This is a magical and mysterious realm where fairy-tale characters aren't just the stuff of storybooks; they live and breathe and fight in elaborately choreographed battles. And it's going to be awesome.

"Maleficent" opens May 30. Get your advance tickets now.
