Angelina is SO spot-on!

Do you guys think she will get an Oscar nomination?

[Musical Master]

That was awesome! I think this entire scene will prove that Robert Stromberg has what it takes to be a director.

Do you guys think she will get an Oscar nomination?

It's so annoying, but films like this never seem to get big award recognition for acting; the closest one that came to it was Johnny Depp being Oscar nominated for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. I could see her getting a Globe nomination though, for sure !

[Musical Master]

From what I have heard, the UK will have a "world premiere" tonight, do you think that we might see some early reviews from UK critics?

EDIT: The BBFC has officially announced the running time: "97 minutes and 18 seconds"... Oh well, as long as get more from that time like Frozen then I am perfectly fine.

[Disney Duster]

Oh no maybe Frozen is just inspired by The Snow Queen. I guess I have to accept that. And I guess Maleficent isn't an adaptation of Sleeping Beauty either, like I thought before.

That clip was great though! Angelina's acting is really good! And yes, this does appear to be directed very well, too!

Not exactly on topic, but this thread seems like the best place to ask. Does anyone on this board have a high quality version of this picture that you could send me? I'm looking into getting it as a tattoo and would very much appreciate a better version for those purposes

[Musical Master]

Bad news, that "world premiere", was a costume preview... Okay, that made me mad.

[Atlantica]

I love love love the fact they lift parts of the original script....very very cool !

Don't know if legit, or sarcastic. But anyway, I was wrong, they ARE seeing the movie early after all! Quote from Elle UK: "We can't wait to see #Maleficent after previewing the costumes at #kensingtonpalace."

It was legit.

[Musical Master]

It was legit.

Oh okay. I do like the fact that Diaval turns into a dragon and that Maleficent and Aurora share time together.

Using the word "fugly" is fugly.

This is a clip of the christening scene.

It's noteworthy that the dialogue is exactly the same from the 1959-movie.

Pretty sure that's not really a spoiler unless someone hasn't watched the clip, or paid attention to any of the previous footage I suppose.

But it is noteworthy that this is an exception in compared to the rest of the film. In some ways I'm glad they did it and released it first, in other ways I'm afraid it sets up expectations that won't be met.

in other news, beating a dead horse, but WDS officially confirms the RT of 97 minutes lest anyone was concerned there might have been a longer cut in the US.

Also, WDS Spain released this preview of an exhibition opening in this weekend featuring props and costumes from the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4rEAugeSZ4

Someone got the ENTIRE Disney Parks sneak peek... You know where to look.

The entire thing was great, James Newton Howard was so perfectly chosen for this movie!

Yeah, it was posted on a Facebook fanpage, but unfortunately it was already deleted by Disney. Hopefully someone downloaded it on time, and maybe they'll re-share it somehow.
