According to Screen Rant.com, the song used in the trailer is a version by Audiomachine featuring MOLLY. Audiomachine is a company that produces music for movie trailers and advertisements, so I guess this cover was created just for the trailer.

Thanks for letting me know. That's too bad. I really liked the cover and hoped there was a full version of it out there.

The designers must really hate Elle Fanning because she hasn't had one good costume in either film so far. I hope this film goes the way of Alice Through the Looking Glass and flops hard. At least Alice had pretty costumes and visuals.

Oh wow really? I couldn't stand their new designs. Maybe it was all the obvious CGI so I can't even consider what they're wearing as costumes. I did like their hats because in the Victorian era, this is what they envisioned fairies to wear, but I doubt people in the medieval era thought the same so the filmmakers didn't even get that right. Their designs in the animated film are much classier.

That reminds me, are the Three Good Fairies even in this sequel? I love how the protagonists of the original film were bastardized in the first film and now have been completely swept aside like they never even existed. And they call this a feminist film.

Well, I enjoyed the creativity of flowers as the fairies' clothes. Also, I liked their peasant clothes. I kind of liked King Stephen and the Queen's costumes. But that really was it. Of course everyone was dressed better in the animated film.

My only issue with that was that in the original, Flora is the one fond of flowers (hence her name) so this further rendered the three fairies as interchangeable in the remake, taking away what was unique to them.

Plus the original concept was for each fairy to have a specific power: Flora had flowers, Fauna had animals, and Merryweather had weather, particularly storms. Would have been more interesting for the remake to bring this concept back but that would involve them actually giving the Three Good Fairies a substantial part, let alone some characterization.

Yes, yes, and yes. But I just liked the creativity of the flowers is what I mean. Also, it would have been weird for Fauna to be covered in animal pelts and Merryweather in...snow? I dunno. I just think flowers work for fairies in general. Yes, it takes away individualism, but it just seems like what fairies of nature would wear regardless of their specific powers. And they were characterized in Maleficent, just...as one note annoying identical idiots lol. Or maybe you meant they should have been characterized as more than that, and indiviually, and I agree. Who would have thought the live-action films would have less characterization and depth from the animated originals?!

Cool imagery though !

EDIT - I've looked at it again, does it mean October 18th ? The lack of 'th' threw me :lol:

Was anyone asking for a sequel to Maleficent ?

But it's awesome that Michelle Pfeiffer has a lead role !

Yes, I'm happy she's had a resurgence. My opinion of her has changed a great deal over the years.

Personally I am not convinced by this ending, doesn’t it make ‘Maleficent’ less unique and notorious if she’s not the only fairy looking the way she does???

And the creatures of the moors, weren’t they already her own?
Sounds really clumsy to me.
