As the casting for Robert Stromberg's take on the classic fairy-tale continues, Juno Temple is the latest addition. She joins Angelina Jolie as Maleficent herself, Elle Fanning as Aurora (the "sleeping beauty"), as well as the likes of Sharlto Copley, Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson, Kenneth Cranham, Sam Riley and Lesley Manville.
According to THR..
Temple would join Staunton and Manville as the three pixie fairies in the classic fairy tale who are tasked with taking care of Aurora in the cottage in the woods. Temple will play Thistletwit who, like the other two pixies, Knotgrass and Flittle, is neglectful and superficial.
Temple also has a small undisclosed (though it's likely she'll be Holly Robinson ) role in Christopher Nolan's
The Dark Knight Rises, and can be seen next in William Friedkin's controversial thriller
Killer Joe with Mathew McConaughey. Filming on
Maleficent begins in London this Summer.
