Elle is huge she is seriously like the size of an Amazon she dwarfs her sister. I think I would rather see Chloe Mortez as Aurora.

She was the best thing in Super 8 imo..but I dunno. She's only 13, even though she could easily play much older given her height. Isn't that a bit young for that role?

I like Chloe and the younger Fanning. Fine by me with either of for the role. I hope Chloe does get a growth spurt tho I don't want her to be the next Hayden Panattiere.

I am excited for this...Elle is a cute girl, for sure!
I am a huge fan or hers and Dakota's!
Both are AMAZING actresses, and are both gorgeous now!

I think she could pull it off...

Hailee Steinfeld is playing Sleeping Beauty, in the Sleeping beauty movie, that is being made!
That one will probably be very dark.

Both should be GREAT...

Elle Fanning is adorable. Since seeing her in Super 8 I took a liking to the girl, she doesn't give off that "annoying kid" vibe that I can't stand.

I support her as Aurora. Although this movie better have an epic dragon fight scene in it.

@tweeeeenkies3- Is she worthy? You know it's OUR call!

This is OUR baby, and we're calling the shots here!

Now I KNOW you have a better choice in your arsenal of beauties! C'mon now! Don't hold back! You're much better at this then me!

@sarahsatire- I knew the feeling I had for you was love.

@headlopper....HAHA!

Actually, there is ANOTHER Sleeping Beauty movie being made, based of the TRUE tale, rather than Disney..
Hailee Steinfeld is being considered for her...I wrote an article, so it is on here!

My Sleeping Beauty:




The super sexy, Tamsin Egerton, is my personal choice...She is great!
But, I am fine with Elle for Disney Sleeping Beauty...And Hailee for dark, true Sleeping Beauty!

I remember, I read it. I didn't know there are two being made. That's news to me!

Well, the non-Disney one is OURS then! This is the one we'll give 100% support to.

@headlopper...I like the non-Disney version MUCH more!

The true tale is amazing...Very dark.
I think it will be great!

That's disappointing. And somewhat surprising. I figured they would go with someone much older.

I can't say anything about her acting talent. But I think Angelina Jolie will overshadow her. She's not very well known.

Dakota was a very good child actress. But...somehwer along the way she got REALLY bad. Lets just hope that Elle has a little more talent in the tank.
