Deadline reports that Disney has hired Robert Stromberg to direct ‘Maleficent,’ the studio’s revisionist take on the ‘Sleeping Beauty’ fairy tale that has Angelina Jolie attached to star.
The film will serve as Stromberg’s directorial debut. A two-time Oscar winner for Art Direction, Stromberg’s credits include ‘Avatar,’ ‘Alice in Wonderland, and Disney’s upcoming ‘Oz The Great And Powerful.’ Stromberg was also the visual effects designer for films like ‘2012,’ ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End,’ ‘There Will Be Blood’ and ‘Master And Commander.’
'Maleficent' was penned by Linda Woolverton (‘Alice in Wonderland’, ‘The Lion King’) and retells the classic fairy tale from the point of view of the wicked fairy godmother Maleficent, the self-proclaimed "Mistress of All Evil."
Disney also recently tapped commercials director Brian Beletic to direct an untitled feature based on their Matterhorn theme park attraction.
