Mal-Wear

Director David O. Russell is cicling the live-action Sleeping Beauty spin-off Maleficent says THR



That film sees the fairy tale from the evil witch's (Angelina Jolie who at this point is still attached.) point of view, was going be helmed by Tim Burton until he left the projrct for reasons unkown His Alice in Wonderland collaborator Linda Woolverton penned the script.

Darren Aronofsky and David Yates,, who helmed the last four films in the Harry Potter series is another potential director on the pic.

Aronofsky seems more intent on getting his "gritty" take on the biblical tale of "Noah's Ark"off the ground with story with Christian Bale in the lead.

O Russell would make an interesting replacement for Burton given that their style of filmmaking is so vastly different--The studio is gonna get a "new' film from the kind they set out to make if  he inks a deal
