This is pretty darn cool... What is the next Tim Burton Fairy Tale Twist for Disney?
Hey folks, Harry here with the coolest whisper I've heard in a while. I was chatting to a fella I know tonight, and this person heard that Tim Burton is developing another classic Disney fairy tale in a quasi Live Actiony kinda way. It seems that Tim has a hankering for SLEEPING BEAUTY... but not really... You see, he's going to tell the story from Maleficent's point of view. In fact, it'll be called MALEFICENT.

She was always the most interesting character in that story, but we never knew why she hated those three little fairy wenches... or what indignity she suffered at the hands of Aurora's parents. Yeah, I'm on board... if only it ends with Maleficent with a sword in her heart in dragon form. Cuz that'll rule. Think about how long this plotline was carried out over. She has quite a tale to tell. Let's see where it pops up in Burton's filmography. We're hearing that DARK SHADOWS is stumbling a bit... Let's see what Tim does next, he has some interesting choices before him.

Sounds interesting...

I have heard the book on this is very good.

Having said that, Why do we have to understand and/or sympathize with all the villians? They are BAD. Just whack their heads off and lets move on...

Maleficent is certainly my favorite villain, and I do love Tim Burton's work!

I will definintely be pleased if this comes to fruition!

I told the spouse I had a sore throat... Guess it was more serious than we thought.

For those that have read the kingdom keepers series and understand the "villanous" role she plays in those books, would be another perfect "big screen" role for my favorite villian as well........ Apparently both pitches for the Kingdom Keepers to become a Big Screen project have been rejected twice by Disney heads.....

I think Kingdom keepers would be a better fit for morphing to a weekly serial for Disney XD.

Action/Adventure/Technology etc. Just what they say they want to produce for kids.

I think this sounds neat. The villains are always my favorite characters because they tend to be so much more complex than the heroes.

Nope. And the author of the article, Matt Holmes, needs to revisit his grammar lessons.

"It’s sad that not only are the events, the look, the characters and feel of Tim Burton’s movies, so highly predictable these days; now too are his choice of projects and the talent hiring phases."

Those are the reasons I love his films so much. Burton has his niche as do directors like Tarantino and Shyamalan.
