Maleficent, premieres as promised

It is officially real. 

90 seconds of Maleficent. 

Marvelous. Magnificent. Mystical. 

The cinematography is surreal, and we expect nothing less from the artistic visionary, Robert Stromberg (Avatar, Alice in Wonderland). I am intrigued by the editors' approach. There appears to be an intricate balance between realism and dream-like, poetic imagery. Lightheartedness and malevolence. 

The dark edge and ominous tone are expected, but nevertheless refreshing.

 It seems - this is mostly guesswork - the film has an intimate focus on the binary opposition of Sleeping Beauty and her fearsome antagonist. The complexity of this pairing, if successfully illuminated, would be spellbinding. 

Surprise, surprise. I am already entranced by Angelina Jolie's graceful enunciation; infused with innuendo and a burning sense of menace. The glimpse of her horned headdress among a shaken crowd is a sight for sore eyes and breathlessness. I simply cannot wait. 

I may elaborate a little more in the morning when my mental capacity is full - or shall I say - fuller. 

The sinister laughter, echoing at the closing of the trailer, is haunting. 

Maleficent, the menacing new poster

Earnestly speaking, I was starting to question the reality of this film. 

No poster, no trailer!

 My desperate mind was convinced that Disney is weaving an elaborate web of lies, which would not be entirely out of character, but that topical discussion is for another time. 

I can no longer contain my bewildering excitement !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, this post, celebrates - screams and shouts - the reality of a genuine and pure fantasy. 

A disney dream realised; my heroine shall morph into the ultimate villain. 

Angelina Jolie is Maleficent. She is!

I particularly like the scales on the headdress, fitting for the ultimate dragon lady.

Jolie is a classic beauty. She exudes intrigue and mystery, a timeless enigma. 

The poster illuminates a darker, more complex and sinister side of Disney and that is surely welcomed.        In one still shot, it has captured the compelling presence of this persona. 

Her graceful posture, her piercing eyes, her cunning.

I shall be on the prowl for the trailer, which should be released within a day. 

Restlessly, I shall wait. 

Hell hath no fury like a fan's scorn. Disney. 

Love y'all
