We told you recently Disney hired Robert Stromberg to direct classic tale of Sleeping Beauty through the eyes of the evil Maleficent.  Today, Angelina Jolie hinted at undertaking the lead role of the evil sorceress.

Jolie offered intriguing information at the Berlin Film Festival, telling The Hollywood Reporter:

“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 actress.

Jolie has long been toying with the idea of playing the famous sorceress in the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. In the December interview with THR, 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.

Maleficent will be written by Linda Woolverton, who gained fame through the screenplays of The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast.

What do you think? Do you think Jolie has enough angst to play such an evil villain?
