So are prequels to classic stories the new movie trend now or what? Not complaining either way.

actually yes
same with "classic fairy tales from the villain's perspective"
Not gonna lie, I'm super stoked to see this.
I feel like they only did this because of the modern fanbase for the character.
These are the same type of people who make OC's that are the daughters of Maleficent and Jafar and have wings and marry Sora from Kingdom Hearts.
Why does every modern film of a fairy tale nowadays have to have a large scale battle ala LOTR?
Gonna be interesting to see how Disney tackle a movie based on one of their Villains for a change.
Also if anyone's interested the song used in the trailer from Lana Del Rey, is free on google music right now.

Interesting. I like the film's look which is definitely inspired by the original Disney animated movie although I wished it looked a bit more 'medieval'/authentic (like the original) than grim fantasy land. Jolie looks great and her voice seemed to channel Eleanor Audrey's perfomance as Maleficent which is good.
It looks promising.

I'm more worried about the people who think the dragon form is hot

It's the first movie he's directing.
Don't forget your lord of the rings style battle that has to be in every movie!
Is the king on the throne the guy from district 9? Wikus was his name.. or something?

Lana del Rey is covering the song. Oh god, this is brilliant.

I'm pretty sure they exaggerated them for the character

I WONT WHAT'S IN YO HEAD BOYKI.
It's nice to see him get more roles.
I will admit, I like the way they used the song "Once Upon a Dream" from the original animated movie in the trailer as a throwback yet giving it a more uneasy, darker tone.

It's like they were specifically designed to give me a fear boner
