There is a blurry instagram video of it, that proves new scenes were shown.
Can't wait for an HD version!

Her staff is in her hand during her entire oration of the curse. It's just sort of obscured by the green flames, but she's definitely holding it in her left hand. There's also a shot of her creating the staff in the Disney Channel promo.

Maleficent not turning into a dragon and using Diablo as a proxy is basically the same thing as how, say, you always see people losing their masks in the Raimi Spider-Man movies, Wolverine never wearing his mask from the comics, or Robert Downey Jr having his face lit up by that cool in-helmet HUD thing in the Iron Man movies.

Why doesn’t it make sense? She was a fairy in the original film and turned into a more powerful creature to thwart Phillip and the fairies. In this film she can become a more powerful creature to thwart those trying to stop her and her plans, like Stephen, maybe the fairies, and maybe Phillip.

This is creepy beyond words - let's glorify evil and let our kids dress as demonic creatures-not! But I'm not surprised, McCartney's father is a freemason and defended Miley Cyrus's debauched "performance" gyrating against teddy bears etc. So this is just another step in the their agenda. For starters, children shouldn't be watching Maleficent, I even found the trailer very dark. I loved "Sleeping Beauty" but the emphasis of the original was good conquering evil, that evil was not sexy or victorious! In the bible, Satan is spoken of as "The Dragon", which was how Maleficent's alter ego was portrayed. Satan's agenda is kill, steal and destroy. Which is what Maleficent's plan was in Sleeping Beauty. If I ever have children, they are living in the light and will belong to Jesus.

Of course it looks like any other generic CGI "family action movie" from the last 5-10 years, and I just think her backstory about the wings sounds RIDICULOUS and awful. I'll see it for the nostalgia of the Maleficent character and to see Angelina's performance, but I'm not expecting much.

I just really do hate the trend of villain back stories. Enough already

"The fairies who watch over Aurora (Elle Fanning), have been updated, too. In the original 1959 film "those fairies were typical sweet, good fairies with little wands," says Woolverton. "These three are complete idiots".

Shockingly, I don't disagree with her choice to make them idiots, the three fairies in the original WERE idiots especially Flora and Merryweather for fighting over the color of a dang dress and blowing their cover for Diablo to find the cottage.

So for Woolverton making them idiotic in this new one isn't all that suprising.

Yeah, but they weren't complete jerks...
