Angelina Jolie works those horns on the brand new poster for her highly anticipated film Maleficent. Here is the movie’s official synopsis: A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well. The film, which will be launching into theaters on May 30, also stars Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Brenton Thwaites, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville.

Angie understands. Actress, director, and mother of six gorgeous kids Angelina Jolie says she has connected with many people about health issues after she penned an op-ed last May revealing that she underwent a preventative double mastectomy earlier that March."Wherever I go, usually I run into women and we talk about health issues, women’s issues, breast cancer, ovarian cancer," the Maleficent star, 38, told Entertainment Weekly. Through her pain and personal journey, Jolie said she can empathize with strangers. "I've talked to men about their daughters' and wives' health," Brad Pitt's fiancee added. "It makes me feel closer to other people who deal with the same things and have either lost their parents or are considering surgeries or wondering about their children."In her poignant essay published by the New York Times last May, Jolie recalled the 2007 death of her mother Marcheline Bertrand, who passed away from cancer at age 56. The Oscar winner revealed that genetically, she was at high risk for breast and ovarian cancers after learning that she carried "fault" gene, BRCA1. "Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy," Jolie wrote in her op-ed. "I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience."
The star completed three months of procedures last February and underwent breast reconstruction surgery. "There's still another surgery to have, which I haven't yet," Jolie told EW in its Mar. 14 issue. "I'll, you know, I'll get advice from all these wonderful people who I've been talking to, to get through that next stage.""I was very, very moved by all the support and kindness from so many people," Jolie added. "I'm great! I'm very happy I made the decision. I was very fortunate to have great doctors and very, very fortunate to have a good recovery and have a project like 'Unbroken' to have something to be really focused on, to be getting healthy for, and to be able to just get right back to work," she added. Jolie just returned last month to Hollywood after filming the World War II movie in Australia.

When someone says: You would be perfect to play one of the cruelest fantasy villains of all time — is that a compliment or an insult? In the case of Disney’s Maleficent (out May 30), the whole world pretty much agreed Angelina Jolie should play the black-horned bad-girl. ”It is really funny when people say you’d be obvious for a great villain,” she says with a laugh (not a cackle). In this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, the actress gives her first in-depth interview about Disney’s revisionist take on Sleeping Beauty, which retells the classic folk tale from the wicked point-of-view. “The exercise wasn’t how can we have fun with a villain?” Jolie says. “It was: What turns people evil and vile and aggressive and cruel? What could have possibly happened to her?” In the wide-ranging conversation with EW’s Anthony Breznican, Jolie also discusses Unbroken, the true-life tale of World War II heroism that she directed and is currently editing, and addresses the cancer worries that led her to undergo a preventative double mastectomy last year — penning a New York Times op-ed afterward about the experience, hoping to inspire and encourage others facing such a choice.“Wherever I go, usually I run into women and we talk about health issues, women’s issues, breast cancer, ovarian cancer. I’ve talked to men about their daughters’ and wives’ health. It makes me feel closer to other people who deal with the same things and have either lost their parents or are considering surgeries or wondering about their children,” she says. “I was very, very moved by all the support and kindness from so many people.” The new issue also includes EW’s Oscar coverage, with our report on the show behind the show — all the drama that took place just offstage in the wings of the Dolby Theatre as the presenters went on and the winners came off. Plus: ”Burning Questions” from the show, the best and worst of red carpet fashions, and behind-the-scenes shots from rehearsals leading up to the ceremony.
