You know how I mentioned a couple of months back that Angelina Jolie was in talks to do a live-action Maleficent movie with Tim Burton? Apparently it’s the movie on her plate that she’s most excited about, and she’s like the character since she was young herself. All of which makes me extremely happy. A vast flood of speculation and rumor and nonsense has been written about Jolie’s large family, but if having six children inspires her to start making awesome, intelligent children’s movies, it’d be a blessing. It’s relatively rare that someone thinking carefully about the values with which to raise their children also has immense market power. If Angelina uses hers for good, I’ll like her even more than I already do.
