Maleficent 2, a sequel to the 2014 hit, is currently in the works under Disney and Angelina Jolie has not been confirmed to return yet. Without spilling details about the plot, Don Hahn said that sequels should be told as boldly as the previous film.Since its announcement, details about the upcoming Maleficent sequel have been scarce, but as reported by Mirror, Linda Woolverton is currently working on the script for the upcoming film. Woolverton also wrote the first film, and is set to return with Joe Roth who agreed to return as producer. However, the biggest question of whether fans can expect Jolie's return in the sequel remains unanswered. Although Jolie previously revealed not being asked about the sequel yet, many are concerned given her refusal to work on sequels of her works like Salt and Wanted.Moreover, as reported by Cheat Sheet, Jolie also recently revealed about stepping out of acting soon in order to focus more on her duties behind the camera as a director and producer. However, she also added that she is set to finish a couple of films that she's set to star in before stepping away. Although Jolie did not specify the films she is set to work on, Maleficent could be on the list, given previous reports that Woolverton is keeping her up to date with the latest developments in the sequel.The upcoming film's plot is currently under wraps, and clues pertaining to the sequel are bleak. When asked about the sequel, Don Hahn said to Collider that its too early to talk about the subject, although he did say that any sequel for any film should be as bold as the first film."I think that unexpected leap of faith, when you go into another medium, or a sequel, or another story with those same characters, you have to be as bold about telling those stories as you were on the first one.", Hahn said.Maleficent (2014) was based on the story of the antagonist of the classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, and eventually became a blockbuster success grossing $760 million globally from its $180 million budget during its release. No actors have been confirmed to return yet but more details about the Maleficent 2 are expected to be revealed as production gets some progress in the coming months.

Ethiopia has made great progress as a nation since the devastating famine and civil war of the 1980s, but as recently as the 1990s, women in that country were susceptible to unspeakable violence disguised as custom. In Difret, which played at Sundance and opens in theaters on Oct. 23, two Ethiopian women fight back against the practice of telefa, the accepted abduction and rape of teenage girls as long as the man marries his victim. Based on a true story, Difret was the passion project of Ethiopian filmmaker Zeresenay Berhane Mehari. It tells the story of a 14-year-old (Tizita Hagere) who defends herself against her abductor and is sentenced to death when she kills him. A female lawyer (Meron Getnet) takes her case, pitting generations of tradition against the future of equal rights in her country. Mehari turned down opportunities to get his film made abroad, in English, because he was determined to film it in Ethiopia, in Amharic, so that his countrymen and women could see and relate to the story.“Difret not only shows the tenacity and strength of two remarkable Ethiopian women and brings the world’s attention rightfully to these two real-life heroes, but it also shows the extraordinary talent and creativity of Ethiopian filmmakers,” says Angelina Jolie, who became an executive producer prior to Sundance, where the film won an Audience Award. “I’m very proud to be a part of it.” EW has the exclusive trailer above.
