In an interview with Elle Fanning, who portrayed the role of Princess Aurora, talked about "Maleficent" and how it differed from other Disney flicks.

"The way it ends up, it's more of a maternal love and a friendship love that wins out, over a romantic love with a guy. That was a nice take on it. Especially her being so powerful and being a leading lady, she's totally in charge of the whole film, and she's a woman. I thought that was great. When I started filming, I was such a huge fan of the animated one. I was like, 'I feel like we're breaking some weird Disney rule'.  'Maleficent' and 'Sleeping Beauty' aren't supposed to talk to each other. They're enemies. But the way it turned out, it's a fresh take on it. For the modern world, we need to have a modern story, and it is. It's very different."

Fanning will be seen in a new movie as she has been chosen to play the character of a transgender teenage boy, Ray. The sister of Dakota was cast alongside Naomi Watts and Susan Sarandon in "Three Generations".  Watts will play as Ray's mother and Sarandon as Maggie's mom.

"Maleficent" is Angelina Jolie's first movie in four years. Fanning admitted to getting nervous meeting her for the first time.

"You hear that name and it's the most famous, ever. You know exactly who she is and what she's done. I remember during rehearsals at Pinewood Studios, I didn't know that I was going to meet her that day. We were doing costume fittings, and then everyone started saying, 'She's here!  She's here!' And I was like, 'My God!' The knot was growing in my stomach. And then, I turned the corner, and there she was. She was there in no horns or anything. She was normal, with normal clothes. Because we're both big huggers, she gave me a giant hug, right away."
