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.
