This synopsis on the D23 website sure makes it sound like. I'll bold the part that has me very concerned that sounds like the leaked script
Maleficent is the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty. A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. [/b]Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well.[/b]

However, I won't rule out not seeing it, perhaps Angelina's performance as Maleficent will be awesome, but that might be the only thing to get me to see this. I won't see it opening weekend or anything, but maybe on a weekday for $4.
I just hate it seems that she will come to love Aurora like in that script and find happiness. Though they can't really make a movie about Maleficent being a total bad butt if she's the star of the movie. However one way they could have done it is in this book actually about the Evil Queen from Snow White. It's handled really well and I'd prefer to see this as a movie.

While Cruella wasn't the "hero" of that movie, people don't consider Glenn Close's Cruella as the definitive Cruella either, even though she did a hell of a job. Even the merchandise that came out then was mostly of the animated versions of the characters, plus there was the Disney channel cartoon, etc.
