Angelina Jolie to Take On 'Maleficent'

In January, Disney said they'd be retelling the classic story of Sleeping Beauty from villain Maleficent’s perspective! (Anyone else think that's a rip on 'Wicked'?)

Now, the LA Times is reporting that  Angelina Jolie  is interested in playing the leading role. Tim burton is also rumored to direct the film. Could be interesting.
