Angelina Jolie is gearing up for a villainous turn in Disney’s Maleficent—she’ll play the title character opposite Elle Fanning’s Princess Aurora in the Sleeping Beauty-based script.

The film, which aims to explore Maleficent’s origins and the story behind how she came to curse Princess Aurora, opens with a flashback scene. The young actress cast to play young Jolie in that scene? None other than 18-year-old India Eisley, Variety reports, who currently plays the younger sister of Shailene Woodley (she of The Descendants fame) on ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager. We’ll have to wait a couple of years to see the result, however—Maleficent won’t be in theaters until March, 14, 2014.
