More sequel news. Angelina Jolie is telling the Wall Street Journal that ‘Maleficient 3’ is indeed happening over at Disney. The franchise is a live-action retelling of Walt Disney's 1959 animated film “Sleeping Beauty.” The first two movies combined for $1.2 billion in worldwide box office receipts.
The ‘Smile’ franchise has a new director. David Bruckner, who made “The Night House” and the 2022 “Hellraiser” reboot, has been hired to direct “Smile 3” for Paramount.
