Maleficent release date set

Maleficent, the live adaptation for Disney's Sleeping Beauty, will be released on March 14, 2014. The film will star Angelina Jolie as Maleficent. So far this is the only casting announcement we have, that is confirmed, but it is rumored that Elle Fanning is up for the role of Princess Aurora (aka, Sleeping Beauty). I guess we shall see.

Warner Bros. ditching Akira for Bleach

Warner Bros. might still get Manga to a theater near you. The studio announced that with the live adaptation of Akira on hold, possibly for good, they will move forward with trying to bring a live adaptation of Bleach to life. Dan Mazeau and Peter Segal have already been pegged to adapt the Manga and possibly produce/direct it as well.

I'm not a Manga fan and am the first to say I really don't know much of anything about it, but I have friends that are into it and love this shit. My boyfriend has a case full of Anime figurines and whatnot so I might as well start paying attention... ffs.
