Disney moves ahead with mining the catalogue.
The studio has tapped Robert Stromberg, the production designer behind the billion-dollar grossing Avatar and Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, to direct Maleficent, the company’s live-action take on Sleeping Beauty. ...
I can see the new take on the Old Classic having a visual splendor. And Jolie could well make a terrific evil-doer. But I'm not sure of Woolverton turning out a crackerjack script.
Maybe I'm too much the Negative Ned.

"Maleficent, the company’s live-action take on Sleeping Beauty"
I can see it now: Disney Corp. is still kicking itself for passing on "Wicked" , so now they'll do their own tale of how the wicked ol' green lady got that way and maybe she's not really so bad at that , it's all a big misunderstanding, a frame-up ...
What I'm really waiting for is "Aunt Sarah" . I've always thought her backstory would be so interesting to make a movie about. She was so misunderstood , she was just trying to do the right thing, if it wasn't' for those darn dogs. Or "Smee" the movie. (can't do "Hook" , someone already did that). Good to know we'll have a steady stream of new "classics" to enjoy.
I agree with Steve. Alice in Wonderland had a horrible screenplay. I wish they'd get someone else to write this movie.
Disney's planning a live action remake of the Lion King as well--ala the Disney Nature series, but with CG mouths like Babe. The originality never ends.
Sad really. It never stops.
What an absurd idea for a movie. At the very least, no live-action dragon will ever match the magnificent animated one in "Sleeping Beauty".

Wow, if they have a live-action dragon in the film I'd pay just to see that.
