According to Variety, the movie Edwin A. Saltmay be re-written specifically for Angelina Jolie. The movie was originally going to be a Tom Cruise film, but things have changed. Once Angelina had made note that she liked the project, thoughts started whirling as to how it could be changed to fit a female lead instead.
The role would be that of a CIA officer accused of being a Russian spy who then needs to prove her innocence while still avoiding being captured. Considering her ability to play an assassin - twice - as well as a tomb raider, I have no doubt that Angie could pull off portraying someone in the CIA on the run.
The title of the movie will be changed if the re-write does happen, assuming she takes the role. There’s no word yet as to when shooting would start, but obviously it won’t be too soon since Angelina gave birth so recently and Brad is going to start filming in the Fall for his upcoming film with Quentin Tarantino.
There was also a brief mention of the ongoing hope that someday she will get to star in the film adaptation of Atlas Shrugged.
I was shocked on Saturday morning to read that Bernie Mac had passed away. At only 50 years old, it didn’t seem possible, and the last thing I had read about him sometime last week was that he appeared to be responding well to treatment for the pneumonia that had hospitalized him at the beginning of the month. It’s a terrible loss and I feel so sad for his family.
Aside from being a comedian and having acted in a great deal of movies, Bernie Mac was in Ocean’s 13 with Brad Pitt.
Brad issued a statement, saying, “I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with [his wife], Rhonda, and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.”
George Clooney issued a similar statement: “The world just got a little less funny. He will be dearly missed.”
It seems to be official now - according to Variety, Brad Pitt has officially signed on to play a role in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards.
Hang on. I have to go breathe into a paper bag. Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino. This makes me SO HAPPY.
Okay, all better now.
According to the article, most of the movie will be in French or German with subtitles; however, Brad will still speak English, playing a “Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to take on the Nazis”.
There had been rumors that Leonardo DiCaprio would be cast in a role as well, though there is no mention of it now; he may have had scheduling conflicts. Casting is predicted to be finished within the next couple of weeks.
Because of the location of the film itself, it makes sense for Brad to choose to take on this role. By the time actual filming gets started, the babies will be a bit older and filming will be done nearby, in parts of France and Germany, so hopefully the Jolie-Pitt family will be able to remain at the chateau.
I’ve noticed in the comments section that some of you are trying to make arrangements to send each other copies of People and Hello! if they aren’t sold in your area, and that some of you are asking friends and relatives in the U.S. to send them to you. When people want to see Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and their kids in a huge photo spread, things happen!
I wanted to alert you to something that reader Sharon emailed me about. There is a website called Zinio which allows you to purchase digital copies of many popular magazines. I went to the site and couldn’t find People but I did find Hello! under the entertainment listing.
She also sent me a copy since apparently you can send some to friends once you purchase it - It’s quite neat really. It’s like having the full magazine right there on your screen.
While I know a lot of people would like to have the physical copy of the issues featuring photos of Brad, Angelina, Vivienne, Knox, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh, if that isn’t an option for you, this might help a little!
Just because Knox and Vivienne are causing a commotion, it doesn’t mean a big guy can’t celebrate his 7th birthday in style. Maddox Jolie-Pitt and dad Brad Pitt hit the go-karts for his birthday. They headed to a Karting track in Brignoles, France and together they had a great time racing. Apparently they also got some pizza delivered to the track for a quick bite to eat. Check out the photos over here.
It just goes to show that even with two brand new babies dominating a lot of time, Brad and Angelina make sure to devote time to each of their kids, especially on such a special day.
I’m so glad Maddox got to do something really fun on his birthday!
Okay, let’s see a show of hands. Just for fun, I’ve created a little poll to see how many of you bought People, how many bought Hello, and how many bought both.
Did you buy People or Hello to see Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt?
The first video clip from Angelina Jolie’s upcoming movieChangeling has been released. This isn’t an actual trailer for the film, but it does show them moment when Angelina’s character, Christine Collins, comes to the train station to greet her son - and realizes that he is not her son at all.
Just that small clip of barely more than a minute is gut-wrenching. As a mother myself, I get the feeling that this movie is going to be gripping and moving.
Sadly, Changeling is based on a true story where a young woman’s son goes missing and is later found, and Christine Collins has to fight to get people to believe her when she says he’s not the right boy.
I can’t wait for the actual full trailer, and more importantly, I can not wait to see the movie! The movie will be released October 24 but for limited theaters. I’m not sure when the full release will be. Who else is eager to see Angelina Jolie in Changeling?
You know who’s celebrating his 7th birthday today? Maddox Jolie-Pitt! Hard to believe it’s been that long since we were first introduced to one of the coolest little guys in Hollywood. It was after his adoption that Angelina Jolie changed, settling down a bit and dedicating herself to someone completely. I remember her crediting Maddox with saving her.
Angelina once said this about him:
“It’s wonderful. It’s just the most amazing thing in the world. He’s changed my life. He’s really centered me. Anytime I think anything else is important, I just see his smile. He’s made me the best person I could be.”
He was such a little guy when we first saw him, and look at how big he is now!
Here’s a great video full of images of Angelina and Maddox, so cute.
Life is busy at the Jolie-Pitt household these days but knowing how important each child is to Brad and Angelina, I know they’ll find a way to make his day special and fun. Last year they had the army-style party, I wonder what it will be this year. With so much property surrounding their current home, the possibilities are almost endless.
As many of you will remember, there was a lot of talk that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did In Vitro Fertilization to conceive twins, and even rumors that they had purposely chosen to have one boy and one girl. IVF is a wonderful advance to help parents who are struggling with infertility, but it is not usually taken lightly. Also, while IVF has helped many families, and is thus a positive thing, the problem was that the tabloids and blogs were twisting it into something negative, saying they were controlling how many babies they had and whether they were boys or girls. That was why I refused to post about it at the time.
However, in the interview, Hello asked them directly and Angelina cleared the air.
There were reports that the twins were conceived through IVF. Would you like to comment on that? Angelina: If they had been conceived through IVF we would have been happy to discuss it. But we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems.
I know not everyone is going to believe that, which is fine. But I have to figure, Angelina is so outspoken and so blunt about everything else in her life. If she had indeed had fertility problems and they had gone the IVF route with a successful outcome (after all, there’s no guarantee!), then I feel pretty sure that she would have talked about it with pride and honesty.
So, I guess the tabloids will have to put their thinking hats on and come up with some new garbage instead!
Fans waited for months, asking the question - “Is Angelina Jolie pregnant or not?” Once we finally saw the undeniable pregnant belly, another wait began as everyone wondered when her real due date was and when her little Jolie-Pitt twins would be born. The paparazzi waited for her to leave the hospital, hoping to catch even a blurry shot of Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt but were foiled when Angelina slipped out in the middle of the night, more or less undetected.
And then we all waited for the exclusive first photos. Now, finally, here we are - thanks to People magazine, please take a peek at the official first photos of Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt and welcome them to the crazy world of being the babies of massive celebrities.
