Disney has revealed the trailer to "Maleficent."
A day after debuting the mysterious poster to the film, the studio has released the film's trailer. The trailer shows glimpses of Elle Fanning as the princess Aurora and Angelina Jolie in the title role and gives audiences a glance at the movie's visual effects.
Along with the trailer, Disney released a synopsis: "The story finds Maleficent (Jolie) living an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent, a beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, 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, she faces an epic battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora (Fanning). As the child grows, Maleficent realizes Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom -- and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well."
The film marks the return of Jolie to the silver screen after an absence of four years. Her last appearance was in the 2010 Golden Globe nominee "The Tourist." She later directed the 2011 Golden Globe Nominee "In the Land of Blood and Honey" and is currently working on her second film "Unbroken," which was written by Joel and Ethan Coen. The movie is slated to star Garret Hedlund, Domhnall Gleeson and Jai Courtney.
"Maleficent" also stars Sharlto Copley and Juno Temple. It was directed by Robert Stromberg and written by Linda Woolverton; Jolie and Joe Roth produced the film. Disney will release the movie on May 30, 2014 in 3D.
