When we heard that Angelina Jolie was going to be playing Maleficent in the retelling of that Disney classic from 1959, Sleeping Beauty, we were pretty excited. Now we've seen the first image of her in the film, we are even more so.
How incredible does she look? It's actually astounding how much she looks like the animated character. Great work, make up team.
The actress has been shaded with excellent skill to giver her the bone structure of the wicked witch - look at those cheekbones. Angie also sports glowing yellow-green eyes and, the centre piece of her look, Maleficent's huge black horns.
Angelina's kids are apparently even more excited than we are. "It's a really great script. I'm having a lot of fun. I've already got my horns fitted," she previously. "My kids are very happy."
The story will follow a plot like Wicked does to The Wizard of Oz, telling the story of Maleficent from before she was 'evil', revealing "the events that hardened her heart and drove her to curse the baby, Aurora" (played by Elle Fanning).
"I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesn't mean she can't have other [warmer] qualities," Angelina says. "You have to figure out the puzzle of what she is."
