She’s been working non-stop on her directorial debut, and on Sunday (October 17) Angelina Jolie got a supportive visit from partner Brad Pitt in Budapest, Hungary.
And while everything’s been running smoothly in Hungary, Ang was recently notified that her permit to film in Sarajevo has been revoked – though those involved in the movie’s production expect to receive a new permit very soon.
Edin Sarkic, who’s the director of the Bosnian company helping with the project, told ABC News, “We were promised by the Ministry of Culture that the permit will be issued on Monday. It was supposed to be done on Friday, but now it is sure to happen on Monday.”
The as yet untitled project is a love story set in the Bosnia’s 1992-95 war and Jolie has chosen to shoot some of it in Budapest following difficulties in getting permission to film in Sarajevo.
For the period of filming — which is scheduled to begin on November 10 and last two weeks — Jolie has rented a mansion in a fashionable district in Budapest where she is staying with her husband, Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt and four of their children.
After wrapping the production of “The Tourist”, Angelina Jolie is ready to jump on another project. During her surprise visit to Sarajevo over the weekend to meet with members of Bosnia’s interethnic presidency to discuss ways to help thousands of returning war refugees, the actress has confirmed that she is working on a Bosnian War love story which will start shooting in this fall.
“Upon leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina on Saturday, Angelina Jolie stated that she will be in the region working on a film this fall,” said the UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency, for whom Jolie works as a goodwill ambassador. The statement issued on Saturday, August 21 also mentioned, “The film is a love story set during the Bosnian war of 1992-1995, focusing on a couple who meet on the eve of the war and the effect the war has on their relationship.”
She has additionally announced that the movie’s cast will consist of actors from the various ethnicities of the former Yugoslavia. “I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can,” the living partner of Brad Pitt stated as quoted by Reuters.
On her role, national radio claimed Jolie will star in as well as serve as director for the film. However, an article on Allvoices mentioned that the 35-year-old actress will only serve behind the cameras for this untitled Angelina Jolie project.
Angelina Jolie has just graced theaters around the world through her performance in action thriller “Salt”. Her next starring vehicle “The Tourist” which will see her sharing screen with Johnny Depp is planned to be released on December 10 this year.
Angelina Jolie Gets Defensive Over Her Bosnian Movie Following Protest
Angelina Jolie has defended her controversial movie project after she was banned from filming in Bosnia – urging critics to “hold judgment until they have seen” the picture. The Oscar-winning actress has stepped behind the camera for the first time to make her directorial debut with the currently-untitled film, which is set in the Eastern European state.
However, confusion over the plot has led to the Bosnian government revoking the actress’ production permit. Campaign groups in the country expressed their anger over rumors the film will tell the story of a Bosnian woman who falls in love in with her Serbian rapist in the middle of the Bosnian war.
The producers behind this Untitled Angelina Jolie Project have insisted the reports are wrong and have handed over a copy of the script in a bid to have their permit reinstated. The actress has now spoken out about the furore, refusing to reveal details of the plot but insisting the “sensitive” storyline will be handled appropriately.
She says, “(They should) hold judgment until they have seen the film. Obviously any dramatic interpretation will always fail those who have had a real experience. This is not a documentary. There are many twists in the plot that address the sensitive nature of the relationship between the main characters and that will be revealed once the film is released.”
