Fans have been given their first glimpse of Angelina Jolie in all her menacing Maleficent glory in a newly-released trailer for the upcoming Disney film, which is set to hit cinemas on May 30, 2014.

The twist on the classic Sleeping Beauty fairytale, told from the point of view of the self-proclaimed ‘Mistress Of All Evil’, is also somewhat of a family affair, with the star’s youngest daughter, five-year-old Vivienne, also seen in the video, running through a lush field as a young Aurora.

As she grows, we see her embodied by an ethereal Elle Fanning, who narrates the trailer.

Perfectly cast: Angelina Jolie terrifyingly embodies the menacing ‘Mistress Of All Evil’ Maleficent in the new trailer for the retelling of the Disney classic, Sleeping Beauty

Bewitching: Elle Fanning stars as Princess Aurora, who is ethereal in the clip, seen here interacting with a fairy-like creature

The clip comes just a day after a new poster featuring the real-life mother-of-six was released, showing her with piercing green eyes, bright red lips, razor-like prosthetic cheekbones and wearinga black horned headpiece.

The teaser shows Aurora confronting the shadowed woman whom she says she has felt watch over her throughout her life.

Entrancing: Aurora is inexplicably drawn to the shiny needle that will seal her fate

‘I know who you are; you’ve been watching over me my whole life. I know you’re there. Your shadow has been following me ever since I was small,’ 15-year-old Elle, as Aurora, tells her in her singsongy voice. ‘Don’t be afraid.’

‘I’m not afraid,’ Maleficent counters, to which Aurora responds, ‘Then come out.’

The evil presence then delivers an ominous warning: ‘Then you’ll be afraid.’

Spellbinding: One tiny prick and the Princess’s fate is sealed as she falls under Maleficent’s evil spell

Terrifying: Angelina was completely transformed to play the evil lead, complete with huge horned headpiece, green contract lenses and dramatic razor-sharp prosthetic cheekbones

The thing nightmares are made of: The mother-of-six has previously spoken of how she had the children on set in tears when they saw her in costume, though daughter Vivienne wasn’t in the least bit afraid

Filming on the movie took place in Buckinghamshire, England last year during Summer.

Angelina, 38, often enjoyed on-set visits from her children, who marveled over their mother as the evil Maleficent.

The movie focuses on the events that hardened Maleficent’s heart, leading her to curse the baby Aurora, played by Fanning.

Speaking about the new film, Angelina told EW last year: ‘It’s not anti-princess, but it’s the first time they’re looking at this epic woman.

‘I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesn’t mean she can’t have other [warmer] qualities’

She continued: ‘It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something that’s good for young girls in this, because it sounds like you’re saying they should be a villain. [Maleficent] is actually a great person. But she’s not perfect. She’s far from perfect.

Ominous warning: When approached by Aurora, the dark force warns that the young girl will be afraid once she sees who she’s dealing with

‘In general, it’s a very good message to say, “Let’s look at something from the other side.” But then also, what our challenge will be  – and the script writer [The Lion King and Alice in Wonderland’s Linda Woolverton] has already cracked it – is not to simplify it, not to just reverse the story but tell a bigger story that doesn’t point the finger [at Princess Aurora] either.’

Meanwhile, Ange was said to be thrilled when daughter Vivienne, who was four at the time, was cast as the child version of Princess Aurora.

A source told The Sun newspaper: ‘Ange thought it would be a fun experience for her and Viv to share, and Viv is a natural.

‘The other kids are now nagging Ange and Brad to land them roles.’

Angelina persuaded producers that her daughter was perfect for the role in the reworking of classic fairytale Sleeping Beauty.

Brad and Angelina have six children together, Maddox, 12, Pax, nine, Zahara, eight, Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

However, this is not the first time that one of their offspring has graced the big screen.

Shiloh had a cameo role in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button as Brad and Cate Blanchett’s daughter when she was 10-months-old.
