Disney has released a teaser-trailer for Maleficent, its re-imagining of the Sleeping Beauty tale told from the perspective of the iconic villainess, played by gorgeous Angelina Jolie. Elle Fanning co-stars as Aurora, the sleepiest of them all.

The synopsis reads:

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.

Maleficent arrives in theaters on May 30, 2014.

Punk rock legend Henry Rollins is starring in He Never Died, a cannibalistic thriller from Jason Krawczyk, director of the awesome-sounding short film Clown Holocaust. Rollins plays Jack, a man detached from society who prolongs his life by eating people. He attempts to change when his past returns to haunt him.

Rollins told Variety:

It’s one of the best scripts I’ve ever read. As a character, Jack is perhaps far less than normal, which suits me very well.

He’s not all that bad a guy, which is different. I don’t get many of those. He is in a very rare and strange situation and I really want to be part of the action.

He Never Died started production today in Toronto. Video game voice actor Steven Ogg (Grand Theft Auto 5, Alone in the Dark) is also on board.

Rollins, best known for fronting iconic punk outfit Black Flag and his own Rollins Band, is no stranger to acting, and can be seen in string of genre offerings including Wrong Turn 2, Feast, David Lynch’s Dark Highway, the rock-n-roll vampire horror-comedy Suck, and Johnny Mnemonic.

Matador Film has released a trailer for producer Uwe Boll’s Seed 2: The New Breed, a sequel to his 2007 slasher about a death row inmate who returns from the dead to kill those responsible for his death sentence. Now, years later, he’s inexplicably set his sights on a Las Vegas bachelorette party.

That bachelorette party is made up of stunners Christa Campbell (Drive Angry), Natalie Scheetz (“Siberia”), Annika Strauss (Game Over), newcomer Sarah Hayden, and jaw-dropping Euro model-turned-actress Micaela Schaefer (pictured).

The trailer provides a glimpse at the gruesomeness to come, including shots of desert crucifixion, strangulation by guts, and bullet to the vagina. Micaela Schaefer’s boobs do make an appearance to cheer you up though.

Kate Bosworth (Straw Dogs) is set to join Thomas Jane (The Punisher) in Somnia, a new thriller from writer and director Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Absentia) and co-writer Jeff Howard (Oculus). Production on the film begins this week.

Somnia tells the story of an orphaned boy whose dreams and nightmares become reality while he sleeps. Bosworth and Jane play the boy’s parents.

Bosworth is coming off “The League’s” Katie Aselton’s girl-power thriller Black Rock and has starred in such notable genre offerings as Screen Gems’ remake of Sam Peckinpah’s controversial 1971 home-invasion thriller Straw Dogs and Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns.

Noomi Rapace is set to star in Tommy Wirkola’s new sci-fi thriller What Happened to Monday? Rapace will play multiple roles as septuplet sisters trying to survive in an overpopulated world where siblings are outlawed. When one goes missing, they all risk exposure to find her.

Wirkola, the writer and director of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters and Dead Snow, said the lead was rewritten for Rapace after meeting with her.

He said:

Although the role was originally written for a male, I was struck by the complexities of having an actor portray seven characters and immediately knew Noomi was the ideal actor — male or female — to bring them to life.

Rapace is coming off Brian de Palma’s lesbian thriller Passion and Ridley Scotts’ Prometheus. She, of course, scored her big break playing Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish film adaptations of Stieg Larsson’s The Millennium Trilogy (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Girl Who Played with Fire, Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest).

A trailer has gone online for husband and wife producers Jennifer Blanc and Michael Biehn’s Hidden in the Woods, a remake of Chilean filmmaker Patricio Vallardes’ incest-fueled, rape-happy survival thriller En Las Afueras de La Ciudad.

Electra Avellan and Jeannine Kaspar play sisters repeatedly raped and tormented by their backwoods, drug dealing father until the day he murders two cops and is sent to the pokey. The girls barely have time to pull up their knickers when their drug lord uncle shows up to collect the money their father owes him.

Peep it:

Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers) is set to star in Visions, a new micro-budgeted frightener from Blumhouse Productions (Paranormal Activity, The Purge). She joins Jim Parsons (“The Big Bang”) and old people actor Ellen Barkin (Sea of Love).

Visions stars Fisher as a pregnant woman who starts to have disturbing visions while with her husband at his vineyard home. Parsons plays the lovable misfit next door in the Green Lantern tee because what else could he be? Kevin Greutert (SAW 6) directs from a script by Lucas Sussman (Below).

Fisher is coming off Louis Leterrier’s heist flick Now You See Me and Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby. She’s best known for playing Vince Vaughn’s neurotic conquest in Wedding Crashers. Visions marks Fisher’s return to horror since co-starring in the 2001 indie horror The Pool.
