Joachim Rønning will be directing the film. He recently directed the latest Pirates of the Caribbean installment. No plot details have been revealed for the Sleeping Beauty spinoff tale. Ed Skrein recently joined the cast as a villain.

Disney is planning to start filming this year. Jez Butterworth and Linda Woolverton penned the script. Michelle Pfeifer's next gig is the role of Janet Van Dyne in Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp.
