 The trend of Disney horror remakes shows no sign of abating, with an exclusive first look at Sleeping Beauty's Massacre just days after the production company shared pictures from Cinderella's Curse. Distributor ITN Studios, who were also behind cuddly slasher Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey earlier this year, have very much moved into their gory Disney princess era alongside production company ChampDog Films. A horror retelling of Sleeping Beauty, an Italian literary fairytale popularly adapted by French author Charles Perrault in the late 17th century, Sleeping Beauty's Massacre is currently shooting in Scotland. In pop culture, the most recognisable version of the story is probably Disney's 1959 animated version with stunning artwork by Eyvind Earle, itself drawing inspiration from Tchaikovsky's 1889 ballet of the same name. It's safe to say that this new version of the story is going in a different direction, produced and directed by Louisa Warren, who is also behind Cinderella's Curse, and with a screenplay by Jasmine Ebony Thomas. Sleeping Beauty's Massacre follows the beautiful Princess Thalia (Lora Hristova), who is ruined after her father's mysterious death and no longer able to marry her love, Prince Edison (Benedict Clarke), after losing her status. Most fans are familiar with the Disney spin on the fairytale (Picture: Disney) However, Sleeping Beauty's Massacre is going down a new path (Picture: ChampDog Films) First images include a mysterious female figure in a blood-spattered mask (Picture: ChampDog Films) Adding an extra layer of danger and conflict is Queen Velma, who wants to take the kingdom for herself and will use her dark powers – and the occult – to take over by any means necessary. Velma casts Thaila into a deep sleep to never wake, until one day she does and her web of lies starts to tear around her. The film promises 'twist after tw){kind=link}
