Angelina Jolie ‘Seething’ At Sandra Bullock Oscar Buzz After ‘Losing’ Gravity Role?

Angelina Jolie and Sandra Bullock are in a “film feud,” reports Star, which claims the actresses “became bitter rivals over the lead role” in Gravity.According to an “insider” for the tabloid, “Angie was livid when she lost the part to Sandra because she knew it was a great opportunity.”“It was known as Angie’s movie, but when the project switched studios, the part was up for grabs — and Sandra snatched it,” alleges the outlet’s supposed source.The Star snitch adds, “Sandra knew Angie was interested, so when she was offered the part she went after it with more gusto than usual. Angie’s loss was Sandra’s gain, and they’re both keenly aware of that fact.”Star adds that Jolie is “furious” and “seething over Sandra’s coup — and her Oscar buzz,” having hoped the project “would give her the critical acclaim her career has been lacking.”Uh, Jolie is one of the biggest stars in the world and already an Oscar winner.She is not “lacking” for “critical acclaim.”Still, Star’s so-called “insider” goes on to predict that if Bullock wins the Best Actress Oscar at the upcoming Academy Awards, “you know those cameras will be focused right on Angie to get her reaction.”Considering the cameras usually catch the reaction of the winner and other contenders, we highly doubt the reaction of someone who isn’t even nominated will be the focus.Regardless, this supposed “feud” is as fictional as Gravity itself.Jolie was NEVER attached to the film, having PASSED on the role back in 2010 — after the film changed studios, and before Bullock was ever in discussions for the part.In any case, a source close to the project tells Gossip Cop that claims of a “rivalry” between the two stars because of the movie are completely “absurd.”Of course, Star loves nothing more than pitting two female celebs against each other.

The Oscar-winner takes on one of Disney's most iconic villains in this revisionist fairytale. In recent years, there's been a trend to take familiar fairytale stories and reimagine them for modern movie-going audiences. Disney kicked things off with a twisted look at "Alice In Wonderland," and now, a new teaser trailer previews what we can expect when the studio brings one of their most iconic villains back in a very big way. "Maleficent" perfectly casts Angelina Jolie as the Mistress of All Evil and retells the story of Sleeping Beauty from her perspective. The just-released teaser trailer for the movie shows a young Princess Aurora, as played by Elle Fanning, speaking to someone she cannot see. The scene gives us some idea of what we can expect from the new take on the story.According to Aurora, she has felt the presence of Maleficent for her entire life, watching over her even when she was just an infant. She is, of course, referring to the special interest Maleficent took in the child after her father failed to invite her to the christening. But something tells us there is a little bit more to the story than that.Maleficent hides in the shade before stepping out and showing off her horned look. "Then you'll be afraid," she warned Aurora.From there, the preview shifts to a spectacular event that should be familiar to anyone who knows the original animated movie. She keeps Aurora in a castle after she pricks her finger on a spindle, and Maleficent sends a towering wall of thorns into the sky. If only there was some sort of charming prince to save the princess!

Walt Disney Pictures has debuted the new poster for Maleficent and will release the first trailer tomorrow (Wednesday) at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. Check it out below! From Disney comes Maleficent—the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty. 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 an epic 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. Opening in theaters on May 30, 2014, the action adventure stars Angelina Jolie, Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville.
