Elle Fanning will portray the older teen version of Princess Aurora.

Production on the film began in London in June. "Maleficent" is set to hit theaters in March of 2014. It's Jolie's first acting role in two years.

No word if Vivienne's twin brother, Knox, is working on a movie career of his own.
