Already thought Sleeping Beauty villain Maleficent was scary? Wait until you see her powerful, never-before-seen wings, exclusively revealed today by USA TODAY. From the U.K. set of the epic Disney live-action film, Angelina Jolie reveals what it was like to fly with her wings in in the classic tale's reboot — and the workout she begrudgingly agreed to.Hooked up on rigs in full costume (yes, even those horns) on set at Pinewood Studios, "you're almost like a puppet with all these people moving (beneath you)," says Jolie. "When you go to the left or the right all of you have to move together. It's a big dance with a lot of people." How did she pull it off? Well, through a regimen Jolie admits she eschews. Jolie's longtime stunt coordinator Eunice Huthart (a close friend, who is also godmother to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt) slowed down and intensified her workouts. "She made me do yoga. And I have no patience for yoga," says Jolie. "It's not something I do easily, because I'm not a still person. But I was forced to do yoga because (to fly) you have to have your core strength to be able to hold yourself." Great power comes from Maleficent's wings, which are stolen from her dark fairy in the new film. As for Jolie, the actress flies with more ferocity than any A-list Disney-backed villain to date. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world that I get to fly," says Jolie with a laugh. "I really feel like I'm flying!" Maleficent is set for a May 30 release.

Before Sam Taylor-Wood was signed on to direct "Fifty Shades of Grey", there was a rumor that Angelina Jolie was mentioned as a possible helmer. Now, the "Maleficent" star addresses it during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. According to the interviewer, she let out a long laugh while shaking her head and blushing when asked about the matter. After a long contemplative pause, she then said, "I came very clear out of the gate: after 'Blood and Honey', if I ever directed again, it would have to be a certain kind of film." "You know, I'm looking forward to seeing what Sam does with '50 Shades' and she's amazing. I - I think they're just ... it's funny," she seemed struggling to find the right word. "I think with directing, you just think: I'm better at telling some stories than others but um, who knows?" After her critically-acclaimed directorial debut "In the Land of Blood and Honey", the mother of six is helming another true-story drama "Unbroken" which is based on the story of World War hero Louis Zamperini. "The films that I've directed are both real stories," she said. "Even though the first one I wrote, it was based in history and you have such a responsibility - you have to be very careful of how you balance it. One day it might be fun to direct something where I don't have to be so careful. I can be completely, completely um ... bold and wild and irreverent and dark." Her next movie, "Maleficent", which tells the untold story of the villain in Sleeping Beauty tale, is scheduled to hit theaters Stateside on May 30.

Viv's putting her movie star genes to work! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's adorable 5-year-old daughter Vivienne Pitt is a natural as young Princess Aurora beside her famous mom in new stills released from the upcoming Disney thriller Maleficent.In one pic, Vivienne, who was 4-years-old at the time of filming, gives Jolie's "Mistress of All Evil" character an inquisitive stare while wearing a buttercup yellow dress.Jolie, 38, dressed in Maleficent's terrifying all-black costume (complete with terrifying horns!), looks down at her youngest daughter with an evil glare, while Viv nervously twiddles her fingers in response. The blue-eyed, blonde-haired little one strikes a remarkable resemblance to her dad in the still."It had to be Viv," Jolie recently told Entertainment Weekly of why her daughter was cast in the young Sleeping Beauty role. (Elle Fanning plays the grown-up version of Aurora in the movie, opposite newcomer Brenton Thwaites as the dashing Prince Phillip.) "We think it's fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal for Brad and I at all." "The other 3-and 4-year-old [actors] wouldn't come near me," Jolie continued. "It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws." Indeed, as seen in the photos, Jolie is terrifying as Maleficent, with her blood red lips, a black cape, and elaborate horned headdress.Jolie confessed that the costume even scared her five other kids -- Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 7, and Vivienne's twin brother Knox. "When Pax saw me for the first time, he ran away and got upset," she told EW.Luckily, Pax overcame his fear and even has a cameo with Zahara in the movie. "I had to walk by them being very mean," Jolie recalled of the terrifying scene where she places a curse on newborn baby Aurora. "Of course, I wanted to stop and wink at them." Maleficent, due out May 30, tells the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the titular villainess.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s wedding guest list just got a little bit shorter.According to a report from the National Enquirer, Depp’s longtime friend and “The Tourist" co-star Angelina Jolie is not a fan of his new fiancée, actress Amber Heard. Allegedly, the twice-divorced film star recently revealed that she is concerned about Heard, 27, and her motives for accepting the 50-year-old “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor’s proposal.“Angelina Jolie is giving romance advice to old pal Johnny Depp warning him he may be making a big mistake marrying Amber Heard,” reads the tabloid report.According to an unidentified friend of the actress, Jolie has “pleaded” with Depp to get a prenuptial agreement before wedding the “3 Days to Kill” action star. “Angie is worried [Depp] is going through a midlife crisis and has become enchanted with the much-younger actress,” said the insider.Despite the magazine sharing Jolie’s rumored concerns, Gossip Cop released a report Wednesday debunking the rumors. According to their report, a source close to the “situation” has since dispelled the allegations, calling claims of Jolie’s con “totally ridiculous.”Interestingly enough, Jolie’s rumored concerns comes just days after Life & Style magazine questioned in its latest print edition if Heard could be “the new Angelina Jolie." "Amber is Angelina 2.0," an insider told the gossip magazine, adding claims that Heard has always aspired to be like the Hollywood vixen, copying everything from her red carpet style to her love for children. “With so much in common, Amber may not be in Ms. Jolie’s shadow for much longer,” reads the report.Depp and Heard announced their engagement in January, just days after Heard was photographed wearing an engagement ring. The couple, who met on the set of the 2011 film “The Rum Diary,” were last rumored to be planning a low-key wedding on Depp’s private island in the Bahamas, Little Hall’s Pond Cay.
