- MALEFICENT
 |
| Juno Temple |
The cast for Walt Disney Pictures' reimagining of the
"Sleeping Beauty" fairy tale, Maleficent, adds Juno Temple, who will
play Thistlewit, one of three pixies along with veteran British actresses
Imelda Staunton and Lesley Manville.
These pixies are in charge of caring for Aurora, the actual
sleeping beauty played by Elle Fanning, although they're "neglectful and
superficial." Angelina Jolie plays the title character, the witch
Maleficent who puts the curse on Aurora that sends her into a permanent sleep
on her 16th birthday.
Juno Temple has appeared in numerous independent films,
starring in last year's Dirty Girl, and later this summer, she's playing
"Holly Robinson" in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises as well
as appearing in William Friedkin's Killer Joe.
Marking his directorial debut Robert Stromberg has a
wonderful cast that includes District 9's Sharlto Copley (as a half-human,
half-fairy), Miranda Richardson, Kenneth Cranham and Sam Riley.
Maleficent looks like it will begin shooting in June in London
for a March 14, 2014 release date.
