Tim Burton has moved off of Maleficent, the Disney fantasy that?would have teamed him with Angelina Jolie.
Maleficent is Disney?s live-action take on Sleeping Beauty, telling the?fairy tale from the point of view of the evil witch who threatened to kill?the princess. Disney put a name to the evil witch, who had gone unnamed in the various tellings, and the green-skinned queen of evil who?morphs into a dragon has gone on to become one of the most popular Disney?villains all time.
Burton was only loosely attached to the project, but his involvement was?significant enough that last year the studio hired Burton's Alice in?Wonderland collaborator Linda Woolverton, who also wrote Disney?s The Lion?King, to write the script. The project is being developed as a starring vehicle for Jolie.
Disney is not about to go put Maleficent into a suspended-animation sleep and?is now on the hunt for a new director. One of the names that has surfaced in?the early search is David Yates, the director of the past four Harry?Potter movies.
Burton hasn?t left Disney and is working on the feature-length?stop-motion version of his 1984 short, Frankenweenie. The movie is due for?release in Oct. 5, 2012.
