Angelina Jolie’s latest film, Maleficent, is so scary that it has got investors running scared that it will be a flop and cost Disney millions.
The 38-year-old actress plays the evil villainess from the Sleeping Beauty tale in her first major Hollywood role in four years.
But her portrayal in the dark fantasy film has turned off Wall Street money men.
Angelina has previously been box office gold but her latest starring role has inveators worried.
They are predicting that the $90million film will not be a box office smash and might just recoup its costs.
With Angelina sporting enhanced high cheek bones and headgear with horns they are worried traditional Disney movie goers will find the film too frightening.
Disney has pitched the film, which opens on May 30, at young adults rather than their traditional fan base of children.
Wall Street investors predict that the film will force Disney into a write down which will lower the value of their company.
‘It’s definitely in the “not a sure thing” bucket,’ said analyst David Bank.
Other Wall Street brokers in a circular sent to investment firms expressed doubt that the film would be a box office smash.
Angelina recruited her daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, five, to star in her first major role as the young Aurora, Daily Mail informs.
