Which Mini-Brangelina Will Be Making Their Film Debut?
by Shannon Keirnan
Because Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie haven’t entirely taken over Hollywood, they’ve apparently enlisted the help of their large brood of offspring.
Angelina Jolie, who will be playing the title character in the upcoming “Maleficent,” will be bringing her and Pitt’s youngest daughter on board for a small role in the film.
Vivienne, who is four, will have a cameo as the younger version of Princess Aurora. Elle Fanning will play the teenage real-life version of the “Sleeping Beauty.” Given Vivienne’s cherubic face and bright blonde hair, it’s a pretty fair match.
Both Pitt and Jolie have both been open about supporting their children should they show any inclination to pursue acting.
Their daughter Shiloh has already appeared beside her father in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”
“I just want them to follow their bliss. Whatever makes them happy,” Pitt has said of the matter.
“Maleficent” has begun filming in London, and features Jolie as the evil queen who sentenced Sleeping Beauty to die on her 16th birthday. It will delve into the history between the two, and the queen's reasoning behind the cruel punishment inflicted on the princess.
The film is being directed by Robert Stromberg, of “Avatar” and “Alice in Wonderland,” was produced by Joe Roth of “Snow White and the Huntsman,” and written by Linda Woolverton, of “The Lion King” and “Beauty and the Beast.”
With such an incredible production crew, it’s no surprise that the few pictures that have been leaked from the set look amazing, and feature the "Salt" actress as an eerily perfect fit for the role, with her wild cheekbones and dangerous horns.
