Angelina Jolie Goes Flying in New Set Photos from MALEFICENT

Disney wisely released the first image of Angelina Jolie in character for the Sleeping Beauty re-imagining Maleficent merely one day before the first set photos surfaced, and now some new set photos have landed online that give us a look at Jolie in stunt mode.  The film tells “the untold story of Disney’s most beloved villain” and “reveals the events that hardened her heart and drove her to curse the baby, Aurora.”  I’m not really sure why Maleficent is getting her britches in a twist because she looks to be having a damn good time flying around and being evil in this batch of images.  We also get a look at a small band of soldiers on horses that’s a tad reminiscent of Snow White and the Huntsman.

Hit the jump to check out the set photos.  Directed by Robert Stromberg, the film also stars Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville.  Maleficent opens in 3D on March 14th, 2014.
