Maleficent 2

[Raph's Girl]

Really Disney? A sequel to Maleficent?! WHY?! The ending was perfect! No need for a fricken sequel! Ugh! :ohwell:

[ssjup81]

Yeah, the ending to this movie showed a sequel wasn't necessary unless old Kingy didn't actually die somehow and wants to seek revenge.

i hope there's a part 3: Lets do this one more time, again.

I can just imagine Screen Junkies having a field day with ideas for the Honest Trailer of this.

If they don't have Angelina on board, there is no way this won't flop. Their only hope of breaking even (possibly even making profit) is Angelina. Because they sure as hell don't have a good story yet. This is a case of "whythehellnotitis"...

I did not even know what to make of the first one never mind a squeal. Maleficent does not work in my mind as a good guy. Why change the whole story. I could maybe take her as a sympathetic villain but even that is stretching it. Maleficent is a force of nature. I would have enjoyed this more if they had kept Maleficent the way she was portrayed in the animated movie but with the whole story from her perceptive. I just don't know...

I loved Angelina as Maleficent! It was that girl who plays the princess that makes me vomit. The prince kid was pretty nauseating, too.

But Angelina, Sharlto, and the Raven were great.

Maleficent 2: The Sleepening.

I think to keep with tradition, Disney should recast the whole thing and release direct to DVD.

[Donatello19]

I'm actually kind of excited, I really liked Maleficent. I'm very interested in where they're going with all of these live action movies, to be honest.

[ssjup81]

I'm actually kind of excited, I really liked Maleficent. I'm very interested in where they're going with all of these live action movies, to be honest.But where could they possibly go with this? Even though I liked the movie for what it was, I still prefer animated Maleficent. Seriously, though, what story would you come up with for a sequel?

[Cure]

The first Maleficent is garbage.

[Leo656]

I heard it made a few bucks but that the reviews were brutal and few people were really "happy" with it. It was mostly, "She nailed the part, but it's an awful movie". I've only seem bits of it when my wife watches it; my wife likes it, but she's one of those "Someone I like is in it = Good Movie" types. She never quite grasped simple things like, "Yes, Johnny Depp can play a convincing weirdo, but 'Alice In Wonderland' is still a piece of sh*t no matter how Mad his Hatter is." :lol:

No real point to this, anyways. Like who's the audience for a mediocre sequel to a mediocre film that did mediocre business? Unless Angelina had a rider in her contract stating they HAD to do two movies for "Reasons". Otherwise I don't get it.

[BubblyShell22]

I haven't watched the first one yet, but I don't see why they would need a sequel to it. Ugh. This sounds like something they want to make just because it sounds like a good idea even though it isn't.

[ranger_scout]

When I went to see this movie in theaters I thought it was okay to pretty good. Then, I watched it on Blu-ray and I felt the same way. I'm guessing they are making a sequel because Tomorrowland was such a failure while their live-action re-imaginings of fairy tales have been hits. The only reason to look forward to a sequel is to see how the relationship between Aurora and Prince Phillip develops since they did not get married in last year's film.

[ranger_scout]

Disney has officially said that a sequel is in the works.

Angelina Jolie says a lot of things.

[ranger_scout]

The film is going to be directed by Joachim Ronning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) and filming will take place in London from April to August 2018.

I thought this was quietly cancelled.

I love the visuals but it's kinda bland that Maleficent is a good guy now. Cruella is next.

I'm all for stories from a villain's perspective, but fvck this retelling of Maleficient.

We'll see how they handle Cruella, but given how Maleficent was done, I'm a little wary.

[ranger_scout]

Ed Skerin of Deadpool is going to play the film's villain.

Michelle Pfieffer is in talks to play a queen in the film.

Filming has begun on the sequel and the full cast has been announced.

Sound the, um, horns: Production on Maleficent II has officially begun.

Disney announced Tuesday that filming has started for Maleficent II, almost exactly four years after the original hit theaters. Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning are both reprising their roles, and the new film picks up several years after the original, following Maleficent and Princess Aurora as they “form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within.”

Michelle Pfeiffer has also officially signed on to the project as Queen Ingrith, while Harris Dickinson will play Prince Phillip. (Phillip was Aurora’s love interest in the original animated Sleeping Beauty.) Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ed Skrein, and Robert Lindsay are also joining the cast, with Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville returning.

I’m not even a big fan of Maleficent storyline, but I gotta admit the cast is cute.

I have the Hot Toys as well (it’s on discount), she looks cool. Even better if she’s an actual villain like the original tbh.

Disney has scheduled the film for release on May 29, 2020, which is the weekend after Memorial Day. That is exactly when the original film hit theaters back in 2014.

Principal photography has concluded.

That’s a wrap on Maleficent 2 - and what a ride it’s been! A big thank you to this amazing UK crew for spending the summer with me at Pinewood Studios - so close to Heathrow, yet so far away :) I hope you all get some well deserved time off before your next adventure

[Candy Kappa]

I'd so much more prefer Maleficent 2 just be a proper remake of Disney's Sleeping Beauty as a yet another retelling of the "same" story, make it like 2002 Hero just sequels instead of within the same movie.

[ranger_scout]

The sequel's release date has been moved up to October 18, 2019. Plus, the title has been revealed along with a poster.

Please, Disney, please...just let her be a dark force because she can.

[Leo656]

Can someone PLEASE tie Angelina Jolie down and force her to eat something? PLEASE?!

This is seriously getting ridiculous. Looking at her makes me seriously uncomfortable.

There are at least three different jokes in there. :tlol:

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Actually, I count four. Not saying what they are....

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I doublechecked, and I still only see 3...?

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Well, there were the obvious ones, and one possibly unintentional one....

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Tie down, eat something, making me uncomfortable.

That's three. What am I missing?

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Hint- it's in the sentance right before he felt uncomfortable. Unintentional pun....

[ranger_scout]

It seems that this movie is trying to please fans who were unhappy that Maleficent wasn't all evil like she was in the original animated movie.

Angelina is such a perfect casting for Maleficent but I’m not big on them rewriting her as the hero. Still excited for the sequel - Michelle Pfeiffer! Two Queens in a film.

[ranger_scout]

This movie was just very okay. Alice Through the Looking Glass was a far worse sequel to a live action adaptation, but this felt kind of dull and unmemorable. The cast does what they can with the material they are give, which is not much.

The writers tried to fix things that were missing in the first film like having Maleficent turn into a creature, but this time she becomes a Phoenix instead of a dragon. After the Fairy Flittle sacrifices herself and becomes blue plants, the remaining two pixies at the end fight over what color Aurora’s wedding dress should be. This time it’s pink or green instead of pink and blue. However, since Flittle’s spirit is still around somehow she makes the dress blue and they are satisfied with that color.

[sdp]

I saw the first two movies, first is interesting, I wish malifecent was actually a bad person in the end but whatever. Second feels unnecessary but as a side tale it did a pretty great job. Let's see what they do for a third film which I'm sure they'll somehow make and just like the IP man movies will be even far more removed from what the original was even if still neat.

[ranger_scout]

There sure are a lot of things wrong with this movie.
