Burton wasn't at fault for the story, it was fault of the screenplay writer Linda Woolverton. The one who's writing the screenplay for this film. Yea. Here's to hoping this new director can overcome her crap (unless she actually writes a good one this time like she did for Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, though I'd like better screenplays than those too, like more deeply complex or adult. Maybe this time at least she'll make it tasteful and make sense and fit or something).rs_milo_whatever wrote:At least Burton is out, Alice looked amazing, but the story had no "umph". Here's hoping they get a good screenplay.

Angelina Jolie, speaking at a crowded press conference Saturday at the Berlin Film Festival, where her feature directorial debut 'In the Land of Blood and Honey' is screening out of competition, brought up the project when asked about the next step in her career.
"I haven't acted in two years, and I haven't done anything else since this [Land of Blood and Honey]. The next thing I am looking at is a Disney movie," said the world-famous actress.
Jolie also had been eyeing a Luc Besson movie that had been set to start production in April, but that project appears to be off the table for the actress, insiders say. In an interview with THR in December interview, she suggested she probably couldn't do both, since Maleificent could get underway by the end of the year or earlier next year.
Maleficent has gained momentum in recent weeks with Robert Stromberg brought on as director. Stromberg was the production designer on Avatar and Alice in Wonderland, as well as on Disney's upcoming Oz the Great and Powerful.
Jolie has long been toying with the idea of playing the famous sorceress in the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. In an interview with THR last December, she also revealed her children want her to make the movie and even call her "mom-elicent." She's also eager to make a live-action family film after her experience voicing the Kung Fu Panda franchise.
"The best thing to find that balance is to do something that is just for children," Jolie said at Saturday's midafternoon press conference in Berlin. "You know, you find different ways to make things matter. When, for example, you do fun action movies, they are empowering for my daughters," she said.
Jolie told THR in the December interview that she adores screenwriter Linda Woolverton's revisionist take on the fairy tale, and the complex relationship between Maleficent and Sleeping Beauty.

What does she mean? That she views Maleficent as a kid's movie, or that she views King Fu Panda as a kid's movie that helps her see she wants to do a family movie with a balance of grown-up and kids' things?Jolie has long been toying with the idea of playing the famous sorceress in the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale.

Good she loves the script, which we feared would be the worst thing about this (the Alice in Wonderland script blew), but is she talking about the relationship between Maleficent and Sleepin Beauty the movie (doubtful) or Maleficent and Aurora (what? WHAT?! HOW?! She was a baby...what?!?!!!! Is she jealous Aurora knows "love and kindness and the joy of helping others?")?Jolie told THR in the December interview that she adores screenwriter Linda Woolverton's revisionist take on the fairy tale, and the complex relationship between Maleficent and Sleeping Beauty.
Still not very reassuring, though. Actors go on the record all the time about how they love the scripts to their movies, but then they come out and they're "Tooth Fairy." Yes, Julie, I'm looking at you.Disney Duster wrote:Good she loves the script, which we feared would be the worst thing about this (the Alice in Wonderland script blew)
