She pretty much has her pick of whatever film she wants to do, and Elle Fanning is eyeing a lead role in an upcoming remake of “Sleeping Beauty.”
The “Curious Case of Benjamin Button” starlet is in negotiations to play the role of Princess Aurora in “Maleficent,” and if she takes the gig, she’ll get to work with Angelina Jolie.
Jolie will play the villain, who curses baby girls, and production is scheduled to begin in June 2012.
Ms. Fanning, 13, already has an impressive body of work, and this project will serve to further expand her acting range.
