A never-before-heard Lana Del Rey rendition of “Once Upon a Dream” was unveiled as part of a 90-second sneak peek of Disney’s “Maleficent” during the 56th Annual Grammy Awards® on Sunday, January 26. “Maleficent” releases in U.S. theaters on May 30, 2014.
Award-winning, American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey has recorded a unique reimagining of the renowned fairy-tale tune from Disney’s classic animated film “Sleeping Beauty,” which will feature in the end credits of the upcoming Disney film.

“Maleficent” explores the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the classic “Sleeping Beauty” and the elements of her betrayal that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. Driven by revenge and a fierce desire to protect the moors over which she presides, Maleficent cruelly places an irrevocable curse upon the human king’s newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Aurora is caught in the middle of the seething conflict between the forest kingdom she has grown to love and the human kingdom that holds her legacy. Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to peace in the land and is forced to take drastic actions that will change both worlds forever.
 
The film stars Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville.
“Maleficent” is produced by Joe Roth and directed by Robert Stromberg, with Angelina Jolie, Don Hahn, Palak Patel, Matt Smith and Sarah Bradshaw serving as executive producers. Linda Woolverton wrote the screenplay. “Maleficent” opens in theaters on May 30, 2014.

The inspiring true story of irrepressible gymnastics phenomenon Gabby Douglas, who thrilled the world and captured America’s heart by winning two gold medals in spectacular fashion at the 2012 London Olympics, is coming to the Lifetime Channel on February 1.
Produced by Sony Pictures Television and directed by Gregg Champion, director of Lifetime’s blockbuster original movie Amish Grace, THE GABBY DOUGLAS STORY details Gabby’s rise against overwhelming odds to become the first African American ever to be named Individual All-Around Champion in Artistic Gymnastics at an Olympic Games.  A refreshingly Christian-toned script and endearing performances by Sydney Mikayla (Whitney), who portrays Douglas during her childhood, and Imani Hakim (Love Reign Over Me), who portrays her teenaged and young adult years, make this a must-see television event for families and aspiring athletes of all age groups.  The real-life Gabby Douglas appears in the film, which also stars Peabody Award-winning actress Regina King (Southland, Ray) and Golden Globe® and Emmy®-winner S. Epatha Merkerson (Law & Order).
A prodigy from a very young age, Gabby Douglas originally made her mark on the world of competitive gymnastics at age eight, winning numerous state championship titles throughout her age group career.  While her star was fast rising in the arena, Gabby and her family faced dire economic and personal challenges at home and she made the difficult decision to leave her mother Natalie (King), three siblings and grandmother (Merkerson) in Virginia Beach and move to Des Moines, Iowa, to train with renowned coach Liang Chow (Brian Tee, The Wolverine) and pursue her single-minded dream of Olympic glory.  Buoyed by her intense faith and love from her family, Gabby made it onto the 2012 U.S. Women’s Gymnastics team, which faced unyielding and unforgettable competition in the London Games.  Her sacrifice and perseverance were triumphantly rewarded with Team Competition and Individual All-Around gold medals, placing Gabby and her teammates – known as “The Fierce Five” – among the world’s all-time greats in the sport of gymnastics.

THE GABBY DOUGLAS STORY is directed by Gregg Champion (Amish Grace) from a script written by Maria Nation (Lifetime’s The Two Mr. Kissels). It is executive produced by Zev Braun and Philip Krupp (Lifetime’s A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story) and produced by David Rosemont (Lifetime’s Bonnie & Clyde).

ENTER: To win one of the two copies of this book please email Diane at ELGeorgia@aol.com with GABBY DOUGLAS in the subject line and tell me what inspires you!
Winner will be chosen on Feb 1st at 11:59pm after the movie. Winner will be contacted by email and have 24 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen.
