CHINESE EPIC "THE FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE" HEADS TO IMAX! IMELDA STAUNTON & MIRANDA RICHARDSON JOIN "MALEFICENT" FANTASY TALE! ANDY GARCIA & VERA FARMIGA GO ROMANTIC IN "ADMISSIONS"!

After Julia Roberts and Kirsten Stewart, I guess it's time for another evil Hollywood creature to infest fairy tale world since Angelina Jolie is playing the title role in MALEFICENT. The epic tale, to be released in March 2014 by Disney, has added some new cast members, brilliant British stars Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson and Sam Riley. The story centers on evil MALEFICENT, and puts a new spin on her relationship with Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning), a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty. Imelda Staunton and Lesley Manville are playing Knotgrass and Flittle, two of the pixies who care for Aurora. Miranda Richardson is portraying Queen Ulla, Maleficent's aunt who does like her evil niece. Sam Riley plays Diaval, Maleficent's trusted right hand, who transforms between a raven and a human. Kenneth Cranham is playing the human king, who tries to conquer the fairy kingdom.

Deadline drops a line that we shall watch Andy Garcia and Vera Farmiga get romantic in ADMISSIONS, which centers on a once
-in-a-lifetime relationship that develops between two strangers over the course of a single day. Farmiga portrays Edith, a free-spirited mom taking her driven daughter Audrey on a walking tour of a beautiful small college. Garcia plays buttoned-up heart surgeon George, who’s taking his son Conrad on the same tour. Failing comically to connect with their respective children, George and Edith decide to play “tour hooky” together for the rest of the afternoon. The result is a surprising romance and the greatest half-day of their lives. 

Here's a visual treat you will be able to watch in regular cinemas and in Imax from August: it's Chinese epic THE FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE, with Jet Li. The fourth-highest grossing Chinese-language film of all time, directed by Hark Tsui, is an action adventure
which follows  Zhao Huai'an, a Ming Dynasty general played by Jet Li, who finds himself at odds with Yu Huatian (Kun Chen), an evil, power-hungry eunuch. Eventually, these two adversaries cross paths with Ling Yanqiu (Xun Zhou) at the titular Dragon Gate Inn, a remote outpost in the desert at the very frontier of the kingdom.
