Maleficent | Anatomy of a Movie

In this show, AOM hosts John Comerford, Marisa Serafini, Chloe West, Sara Stretton, and Demetri Panos discuss the film Maleficent which is a 2014 summer Disney film directed by Robert Stromberg. 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 a 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. The hosts discuss everything from filmography, to casting/acting, directing, cinematography, editing, score, sound editing, etc. RESOURCE LINKS: IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587310/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Linda Woolverton Interview: http://www.studiosystemnews.com/spotlight-maleficent-writer-linda-woolverton-on-working-with-angelina-jolie-and-turning-a-villain-into-a-hero/ Hollywood Reporter: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/maleficent-movie-screenwriter-cried-writing-708353 Female Characters: http://www.themarysue.com/maleficent-screenwriter-frozen-female-characters/ Fashion: http://arts.nationalpost.com/2014/05/31/magnificent-maleficent-high-fashion-costume-design-for-angelina-jolie-in-disneys-dark-new-film/ Look Of Maleficent: http://news.moviefone.com/2014/05/07/look-of-maleficent/ Costumes: http://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/reviews/maleficent-costumes-oliver-garcia Clothing & Jewelry: http://www.courier-journal.com/story/life/shopping/2014/05/30/maleficents-look-translated-clothing-jewelry/9770907/ HELPFUL LINKS: -Anatomy of a Movie YouTube: http://youtube.com/anatomyofamovie -Anatomy of a Movie Site: http://www.anatomyofamovie.com -Anatomy of a Movie iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/anatomy-of-a-movie/id730241106?mt=2 -Purchase Adventures of Serial Buddies: https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/adventures-of-serial-buddies/id648123455 -Official Adventures of Serial Buddies website: http://serialbuddies.com/ -Buy Maria Menounos 1st Book: http://www.amazon.com/EveryGirl%252019s-Guide-Life-Maria-Menounos/dp/0061870781/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1393975997&sr=8-3&keywords=maria+menounos -Buy Maria Menounos 2nd Book: http://www.amazon.com/The-EveryGirls-Guide-Diet-Fitness/dp/0804177139/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393975997&sr=8-1&keywords=maria+menounos -Catch AfterBuzz TV on Oxygen’s Chasing Maria Menounos: http://chasing-maria-menounos.oxygen.com/#fbid=Zy3WZMwj4Az -Watch Maria’s in-depth interviews on Conversations with Maria Menounos: http://conversationswithmaria.com/ REFERENCE LINKS: IMDB- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0831387/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_%282014_film%29 Godzilla Franchise- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_%28franchise%29 Wiki- http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Godzilla_%28Franchise%29 Cinematography – http://www.diyphotography.net/godzilla-the-cinematography-of-seamus-mcgarvey/ Seamus McGarvy- http://www.pushing-pixels.org/2013/10/03/the-fine-art-of-cinematography-interview-with-seamus-mcgarvey.html Gareth Edwards interview – http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=7&ved=0CE0QFjAG&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Fculture%2Ffilm%2F10820543%2FGareth-Edwards-interview-I-wanted-Godzilla-to-reflect-the-questions-raised-by-Fukushima.html&ei=D89_U8LaD4eSqgaElID4Cw&usg=AFQjCNH1rmRuHcXPNgjiHm_nsq0yWEj2ng&sig2=QZck8izB6JdOoNCSHjw2zg&bvm=bv.67720277,d.b2k&cad=rja
