Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, age 4, will make her film debut with her mom in ‘Maleficent’

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is going to be a star!! For real. Vivienne J-P, who is just 4 years old, has just been cast in her mom’s movie, Maleficent. This is not the first time a Jolie-Pitt child has worked with one of their parents – when Shiloh was just a baby, she had a small part in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. But you know what’s really sad? No one every tries to give Fax Cannes Jolie-Pitt any movie roles! Tragic. The Forgotten Jolie-Pitt.

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is ready for her closeup!

The globetrotting tot will make her feature film debut opposite her Academy Award winning mom, Angelina Jolie, in Maleficent, a rep for Walt Disney Studios confirmed to Us Weekly August 22.

Knox’s 4-year-old twin sister will play the child version of Elle Fanning’s Princess Aurora in the live-action movie, a reimagining of the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, told from the villainess’ perspective.

“It’s a really great script, and I’m having a lot of fun. I’ve already got my horns fitted,” Jolie told Entertainment Weekly of her titular role in March. “My kids are very happy.”

Jolie’s twins were spotted visiting her on set in Buckginhamshire, England, in late June. She and fiance Brad Pitt, 48, are also parents to Maddox, 11, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, and Shiloh, 6.

Like Jolie, Vivienne is breaking into showbiz at an early age. Jolie appeared onscreen for the first time at age 6 in the 1982 film Lookin’ to Get Out. Her father, Jon Voight, 73, starred and co-wrote the movie. But Vivienne isn’t the first Jolie-Pitt child to appear on the silver screen: A young Shiloh had a brief role in Pitt’s 2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Other cast members in Maleficent include Juno Temple, Sam Riley, Brenton Thwaites, India Eisley, Miranda Richardson and Kenneth Cranham. The film is slated for a March 2014 release.

This is lovely, and I think Vivienne totally looks like a child version of Elle Fanning too. I wonder if the other Jolie-Pitt kids get jealous? You know a film role would fit right into Empress Zahara’s world domination plot. Surely one of her parents could get Z a juicy role? Anyway, as for this part – I can’t imagine it’s some stage-mother situation, or that Vivienne’s part is very big. It’s probably just some cool little thing that she can do with her mom.

Incidentally, I recently read this cool little quote from Sam Riley, who was discussing working with Angelina on Maleficent. Riley said, “She’s approachable but she has an aura of a star, certainly, you want to bow when she comes on set. I do in my character. She’s very nice, I know everyone says that about their colleagues but she’s very cool.” Sweet.

    the twins holding hands, must be my favorite pic ever, of the twins.

    the one thing i’m always amazed by the jp kids are how well-behaved they appear when they get papped. sure, they sometimes look sullen or irritated, but most of the times they look very approachable like any other kid.

    and yeah, poor fax cannes. not even used to screen test or stunt doubling for the favored kids.

    It’s probably just a little scene. I bet for a “flashback” of some sorts. It’s probably not even a speaking role.

    Im sure aniston didn’t sleep last night about this news.Since she always want to keep up with Brangelina.She doesn’t want to be outdone.But since she doesn’t have kids, the next headline will be;
    “little puppy(don’t know her dog’s name)to have a minor role in mom Jennifer Aniston movie and dad justine is so excited”lol.

    It’s obvious the Empress is generous: she doesn’t act with mum, because she doesn’t want to outshine Angie.

    Why does everyone make a big deal out of Maddox not being seen? I have a son his age, and at that age (11-12), they want to spend more time independently and with their friends. He’s probably staying at a friend’s house. I’m sure he has no interest in going to a movie set every day.

    I can see a resemblance to Elle Fanning.

    I turned the TV on this morning and it was the Today show mentioning this, and Savannah pronounced it “Mal-efficient”. Durh.

    I love the super six….I wish they could star in a new brady bunch when they get a bit older, but I know that won’t happen! I think A and B , from what I can see, blance their careers and their family quite well, for being super famous!

    remember when they were in Italy.. can’t remember who.. but Kaiser or CB was sure Viv was a big crier..

    Well I think that time has passed and she has come into her own..

    Such a cutie..

    I miss seeing the family. Can’t help it. And it has been MONTHS. Well I guess they have found a way to have a lot of privacy in London.

    I don’t wish showbiz on kids but Knox should be in front of the cameras some day. That kid is gorgeous. Great genes:) All of their kids are adorable. Wish they weren’t dressed like refugees. C’mon, Jolie, dress them like they’re not homeless for once.

    FS, Angie is a laid back mom for sure, letting her kids wear what they want. Although, she does make sure they get bundled up when the weather is bad. And kudos to the parents for keeping their kids out of ‘paps’ way! One thing about the 3 bio kids, each one made us wonder, when younger, if they were ‘slow’. And then they bloom into vivacious, normal looking kids! I have got to say, Angie must be a loving mother in private because her kids look quite comfy with her…and she must have some great nannies, too.
