"Maleficent is the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty. A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent 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, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom – and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well."
据AICN网站报道,蒂姆·伯顿(Tim Burton)可能会在《爱丽丝梦游仙境》(Alice in Wonderland)之后再度把迪士尼经典动画以全新方式拍成真人版,这次他选中的是1959年的《睡美人》(Sleeping Beauty)。不过他不会以公主和王子作为这部影片的主角,而是准备以大反派梅尔菲森特(Maleficent)的角度讲述这个家喻户晓的故事。受此影响,他和德普计划合作的《黑暗阴影》(Dark Shadows)有可能推迟。梅尔菲森特是《睡美人》中给玫瑰公主下毒咒、让其陷入沉睡的邪恶女巫,她可以变成喷火的巨龙,最后被菲利普王子所斩杀。
