According to reports, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt will play the child version of Princess Aurora (AKA Briar Rose, AKA Sleeping Beauty) in Maleficent.
You know, when I first read this, I was filled with jealousy. If anyone should be playing a Disney princess, it’s me. I’m basically an expert. But upon further thought, I’m just amused.
Watching a Jolie-Pitt try to play someone (A) beautiful and (B) capable of lying still for long periods of time is going to be hilarious. I know this movie is supposed to be Sleeping Beauty retold from the villain’s perspective, but it’s an interesting risk to make Aurora a straight-up gnome.
