Angelina in Ocean’s 13?
The rumors are swirling again/still about who will play the female lead in Ocean’s 13. I have heard several options (even JLo), but for lack of other real news, here is this:
According to reports circulating in Hollywood Pitt is apparently trying to persuade his real-life lover Jolie to join him and friend George Clooney in the upcoming heist caper.
Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones adorned the previous two instalments which, like the next project, were directed by Stephen Soderbergh.
However with neither actor set to return to the series the coast is clear for a new leading lady to keep Clooney’s on-screen character Danny Ocean and his motley crew of crooks on their toes.
I bet Stephen Soderbergh is hoping Angelina will come on - would certainly guarantee a winner of a picture that otherwise might be just a smidge on the not-so-great side…

16 opinions for Angelina in Ocean’s 13?

Eh, I don’t think this idea will work. It’s too soon after M&MS. Yes 2007 is still too soon. And if they are not still together then, it will be awkward. Besides isn’t the Sin City 2 production waiting for her to have the baby before they start filming that movie?

I think that’s a fab idea, but I’d rather have her in Sin City 2 if there was a conflict.

I doubt this story is true. My friends and I predicted this would be the next made up story by the tabloids. They are so predictable.

Didn’t Angie say somewhere that the reason she makes movies (that kind of income)is so she can travel, adopt and do the things she is doing for her causes? I know I read that somewhere…
so based on that, Im thinking she won’t be spending too much time away from her children…and the brood is getting kind of big now to continue jet-setting the whole lot of them around the globe…so my guess is they will settle in France or Italy as home base, and there will always be one or the other parent with the kids at all times.
Doesn’t leave alot of time for back to back movies.

I usually lurk, but I did want to comment here. I think that Angelina should be given a little bit of time to rest and recover after all their traveling in recent months. It’s not the traveling that will tire her out. I could travel all the time, but eventually you just want to go home. With two small children, besides being pregnant, she should allow herself some time off, not just to recover, but to get acquainted with her new baby, bond, and guide her three children through becoming one happy family. She and Brad also need time to themselves. This is just an old lady (71 years old) who knows that having children, or adding to a family, sometimes takes more effort than we imagine.

hi Anhriette…
Im totally curious as to how you pronounce your name. Is it Ann-Ree-Etta? It’s very pretty tho quite unusual.
I completely agree with you, that Angie should take a time out. I believe thats probably exactly what she is doing, since there are reports that they booked the resort some time ago for a full 12 week potential stay.
The spot Angelina has seeminngly choosen to give birth is one of her favorite places in the world. Also, her son wanted an “African sister or brother”. (I still wonder about the name of the child possibly turning out to be “Africa”…LOL!…but wouldn’t that be a cool name?)
I am a little confused tho, as some reports say they are staying at one very secluded posh resort, and others asy another place (with an on site doctor and medical phycility available).
Either way, Im sure the Jolie-Pitt clan can afford to fly in a medical team, amd probably already have!

Catherine,
Depends on whether it’s pronounced in French (or so I am told and so I was called when we visited French Quebec). Ann-Ree-Ette would Henriette, or “Anhri” Anhri is what I am mostly called. In Spanish, it’s just a yucky name, or so I think. (But just for me. I don’t mean to offend anyone with my name.)
Most of the people on this site are very nice. I absolutely love Brad and Angelina, and at my age, that’s kind of silly. As for the name “Africa”, that’s quite possible. I knew an actress (an old friend of mine, who was born in Argentina, and her mother named Argentina Brunetti. Maybe some of you have heard of her. Unfortunately, she passed away last year.
But getting back to B&A again, I think they make a perfect family. And in case someone says that I don’t know what it feels like; yes, I do. At 28, I was left for a “younger” woman also, but I had two sons. He walked away from me, which in time was okay, but to walk away from your children is another thing. I think that is why I admire Brad and Angelina so much. They are so devoted to their family, and seem so devoted to making their relationship/marriage/friendship work.
I wish them luck, and should the fates be against them, which I doubt, I still wish them only love and happiness, because I belive very strongly in their love.
As for my name, I have a very long, Spanish name, and when we visited French Quebec, I kept hearing everyone call “Anhri” and the name stuck.
Thanks for replying to my comment.

I agree, very pretty name! But so true, they both need rest and relaxation.

Susie,
Thank you to both you and Catherine for the very nice words about my name. It’s really nice when a French person says it.
I just wish that Brad didn’t have to rush off so soon after the baby is born, but the family needs to be together. I am very old-fashioned and I would like to see them married at some point, but what’s good for one person isn’t always good for another. Still, I can just imagine them all being introduced as “Mr. and Mrs. Brad Pitt and their children, Maddox, Zahara, and “Africa” for now Pitt, without any “adopted” to distinguish them. They are just a family, a very beautiful family. I guess I am into weddings right now because our daughter, who is 39 years old, (never married) is getting married in less than three weeks.
Whatever they do, may their love grow ever stronger; may they find only joy in the coming years, and for the rest of their lives, and yes, maybe even have their family grow evern larger. They are loving and devoted parents.
Goodnight,
Anhri

Anhriette. . .it’s wonderful to know there is another over-50 reader of this site and other A&B sites. My story is similar to yours (feeling a little silly at lurking around on these Brangelina sites). I’ve figured that I’m talking to quite a few twenty-somethings on here and love them as I do. . .you just made my day today! Knowing the Pittwatchers, they love us no matter what our ages!

JLS,
I just now saw your reply. Sorry to take so long to respond, but with a wedding coming up in less than three weeks, and lots of out of town company staying with us, let’s just say that time is not what I have lots of right now, but whatever spare time I do have, you can find me here.
Oh, yes, I know what you mean about age. The funny part is that I never got on message boards until 25 years ago, which would have already put me close to 50, because of my being so much older than most people posting on here, or any board. However, I have such strong feelings regarding Brad and Angie, that I just had to post.
There are days that I log on, and everything I read is negative, but I refuse to let change my belief in them, their love, and their family. It may not be easy for them, but I do believe in their family and that very strong love. Their children, Maddox and Zahara are adorable, and I hope these three children, their own biological one as well, will unite them together with all the love they have.
It’s strange, because I never really cared for Brad Pitt until now. I did like him in the movie with Robert Redford (remember I’m 71, and my memory is not as good as it used to be). I also loved him in “The Devil’s Own” with Harrison Ford. As for Angelina Jolie, she was excellent in “The Bone Collector”; “Taking Lives” (OK) and several others that were all action; mystery; spy; etc.
Brad Pitt and Ms. Aniston did nothing for me, but I respected them. Now, however, I am forever looking on the Internet, or in magazines (which I quit buying after Princess’ Diana’s death) for any data or info on Brad and Angelina.
I may not have particularly liked Ms. Aniston, but I certainly don’t hate her, and I do hope that she, too, will find her one true love, get married, and find all the happiness in the world.
Seeing Brad and Angie together makes me believe in love all over again, but then, I’ve been married 40 years to my second husband, who is my “rock”; the faith within me; and my forever love. Like Angelina’s mother, I, too, have cancer, a deadly one, and my husband has never left my side. Guess what, after almost four years of having pancreatic cancer, I am in remission and my husband is always with me. I guess that is what I see in Brad and Angelina. If I’m wrong, I still wish happiness for all of them, Brad, Angelina, Jennifer and the little ones most especially.

JLS,
Thank you for your wonderful words, and I do know what you mean. Sometimes, I will want to respond to someone, and a few posts down I will read some terrible things being said, along with language being used that I don’t reall care to read. I will be posting to you and several others more often.

Dear Anhri,
Thank you for your lovely response to my comments. It was nice finding out something about you, your family and how you became interested in B&A. I have always been a BP fan but only became interested in Angelina when she started doing all her humanitarian work. I thought she was beautiful, a great actress (fabulous in Girl, Interrupted) but somehow she just seemed so “way out there” and Brad seemed more, shall we say, normal? Oh well…I love them both now and admire the choices they have been making. I, too, have been deeply touched by their love which does seem real in my opinion and I hope it lasts not only for their sakes but for those darling children.
By the way, in another post, you mentioned your cancer and how your husband has been so faithful to stay by your side after so many years of marriage. I was very impressed! My husband and I will have been married 38 years in May and he is just the same type—very stable, loyal and a real “rock”. I hope B&A can find the same long-lasting love with each other.
One more thing. . .I’m so sorry to hear about your pancreatic cancer but thrilled that it is now in remission. Your comments on this board have been very interesting, insightful and helpful in the discussions about AJ’s mother.
I’m so glad you decided to “speak up” here on Pittwatch. This is almost the only site I read now–I really like the people here.
PS. Christina, if you are moderating these comments and think this should be delivered to Anhri only, please do so. I thought her last two entries deserved a personal response from me. JLS
PSS: How do you make smiley faces on this board?

JLS, a smiley is made with a colon and a close parenthesis - like this: : ) but without a space between them.
And to both you and Anhri, I bet you all aren’t the only over 50′ers here if I had to guess - I am 37 myself, nowhere near the 20-something set. :) And thanks for the nice compliments, I enjoy having you all here so very much!!
