She pretty much has her pick of whatever film she wants to do, and Elle Fanning is eyeing a lead role in an upcoming remake of “Sleeping Beauty.”

The “Curious Case of Benjamin Button” starlet is in negotiations to play the role of Princess Aurora in “Maleficent,” and if she takes the gig, she’ll get to work with Angelina Jolie.

The New Year is looking bright for Dakota Fanning, as she’s kicking off 2012 with a cover appearance on the February issue of ELLE UK.

Making the most of the holiday downtime, Elle Fanning was spotted having lunch in West Hollywood yesterday afternoon (December 27).

The “Super 8” actress looked super cute in a black blouse/ white shorts combo as she toted her hot pink handbag while strolling out to her car after meeting up with some friends.
