Joining Jolie in the film are Elle Fanning as Aurora/Sleeping Beauty, Sam Riley, Sharlto Copley, Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville. Robert Stromberg makes his directorial debut.

The film will hit theaters in 3-D on March 14 .... of 2014. Until then, there's this:
