jared, you’re killing me. i can’t wait to see this movie as it is. you’re just making adding fuel to my fire!

looks good, i cant wait!hey i have started to read mighty heart! all i can say is it is good, this woman has such an intense love for her husband, him with her too! the book is very gripping, you just wanna find him, but we know the outcome but still the power that love provides is amazing! this will be an amazing film and after reading some there is no way X could play her, not in a million years! the character is very much on the same wave as angie, with her work, the things they have experienced, her herritage is simular, there are certainly two spectums when it comes to a character that x could make and then what angie could make! angies being the soulful on, x’s being the wrong one! i really wanna know if the people who think x had a chance what were their reasons to say this! my 14 year old sister has experienced and has more knowledge more of this situation than the X! that is just strange! or odd, maybe both!

WOW, I’m a chicken for drama movies…I don’t know if I’ll get the guts to go watch this. It looks very VERY intense and good……I saw Amores Perros by accident and I was like….O.O……I couldn’t get it out of my head for days….Hope is does great come award season!

He rminds me sooooo much of Robert Redford!Age with grace…loving it.

to all Brad’s fans:–make sure everyone goes see his movies on the weekend it releases.i shall definitely go see it.i hope the movie will bring him an oscar.he is a good man.

I cannot wait to see this movie! Thanks j@red for this new thread & screen caps.

Brad Pitt is the new Robert Redford. Check out Redford when he was Pitt’s age. WOWAnyway check out US magazine’s mock up of their magazine 25 years in the future. They have a computer generated photo of how the celebritiy babies will look like. Zahara Jolie Pitt is on the cover along with Suri Cruise and others. http://www.usmagazine.com/blog/?s=Britney+Spears&x=0&y=0

Here is a link to the Babel press conference in Cannes for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Cate says such wonderful things about Brad, such as "he is like chocolate, wonderful and glorious." But we all already knew that!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGtlvKtpV1k&search=babel%20press%20conference

#22, crazy bamzersI hate to state the obvious here, but you don’t know her either. I don’t understand why y’all are so fiercly defensive and obsessive about a family that you’ve never met.

# 18 | BradPittsDick | Your post was rather pointless. If Brad is playing a 49 year old man, he must look that age. Don’t you think my dear dichhead? But you know nothing of these kind nuances, as your idol, a certain Aniston always feels that at the age of 37 she must dress like a tenyear old girl, and every role must be played with perfect hair. But perfect hair and makeup doesn’t equal talent.This movie will be so good, i want to see right now. OOps, I’ve just noticed that Cate Blanchett doesn’t look perfect too! Her hair is dishevelled and in some scenes she looks dirty! How disgusting LOL!

# 28 | Reet Petite they probably are. Bella is a Jolie-Pitt though.

# 28 | Reet Petite Reet Petite, Bella Thornton is BBT’s daughter. I believe she is a few years younger than Maddox.

31 | angelah Who’s Bella? I just clicked on the Us Weekly link and Suri Cruise is the cover with Zahara Marley Jolie Pitt & Sean Preston Federline on the cover

# 35 | Z is JolieBella is a fan fic character. #28 Isn’t there a Bella in someone’s fan fict

# 37 | angelah | Yeah, in Cold Hard Math ffs

I’ve asked this before..can someone (here) do a digital enhancement of Shi? Or JJ, I’ve asked you this before as well, can you do it?How can I respond back to USMag…I want a digital of Shi…I’m like a drug addict without my drugs…I want to see a pic of Shi!!!JK…it’s really not that serious but I would like to know what she may look like in 20yrs…

bella thornton is the daughter of billy bob…you should really check facts before you say she doesn’t exist ugh

# 44 | alma …thanks.I hope she looks like her dad too…at least a little

# 42 | COLD HARD MATH -love your latest chapter…when is the next chapter?..LOL., now with the link, I can pic. Shi, Z and Mad in the future…

For everyone who thinks AJ is "natural"http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1/shanaem/angelinasnose1by.gif5 big differences noted:1.upper bridge of nose narrowed, refined2. nose tip upturned from original bulbous one3. lower lip DEFINITELY narrowed,4. Speaking of chins, she looks like she had some chin implant5. eyebags removed

# 49 | Whocares Yawn, Zzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzz.

# 43 | alexei | Perhaps YOU don’t know the difference between a question and a fact. UhhhhI asked a question as it was followed by a QUESTION MARK. As a matter of fact, I asked TWO QUESTIONS. Thank you now go somewhere else Janice Ming…..

# 44 | alma —————LOL…"i’m on team aniston when mad at parents"…lol..that was funny!If she actually looks like that the girl will be drop dead gorgeous just like mom!I don’t think Maddox will look like that…for one…they don’t know who his real parents are and two…asian people (like 99.99%) have more delicate faces…I think he will look more like this…http://en.chinabroadcast.cn/mmsource/images/2005/11/24/Nicholas-Tse.jpg

# 55 | *me*- he’s cute, any how, Maddox is Cambodian not chinese, I have a few Cambodian neighbor, they look more like the Philipino than chinese, but than Asian are people are so diverses in cultures and features that I can most of the times I will guest the wrong nationality, one of my friend, she’s Tawainese, she said that even Asian some time can not tell among themselves…( thanks goodness, I thought I was retarded)

# 57 | Estelle——————–LOL, I know Madd is Cambodian…I know the diffence in the cultures as I’m IN LOVE with Japan and my husband is Chinese, my best friends are Vietnamese and Philipino. I just find Nicholas Tse (the one in the link) to be a very hot guy and I hope Maddox will have the hotness and the attitude when he grows up. -.o

# 59 | *me*-did you see the thread with GP and Daniel Heney( spelling?), he’s half Korean and half British, I think he’s also have a certain hottness in him…LOL.

I just find Nicholas Tse (the one in the link) to be a very hot guy and I hope Maddox will have the hotness and the attitude when he grows up. -.o # 59 | *me* |————————————————–lol ITA with you, Nicholas Tse is definitely hot and I definitely think that Maddox will have the hotness and the attitude when he grows up

# 61 | Estelle————————OH MY GOODNESS!!! that guy is beautiful!!!! It made me think dirty thoughts!!!!

# 64 | Alexanderina # 65 | *me* ——————————you guys are cracking me up! LOL., well, finally, we agreed on something beside Bamzs

crybaby aniston: You should go back and rewatch the Mexican and Meet Joe Black. I will fully admit that Meet Joe Black was about 45 minutes too long, and it got pretty sappy at the end, but brad’s performance in it is so great. he barely says anything the whole movie but you know exactly what his character is thinking. just go back and rewatch it and check out his body language and how he moves. its great. except for fast forward through the scene where is is speaking in a jamacian accent, what was the director thinking? and the mexican is the same, i just made all my friends rewatch it, because they all said they hated it, i told them they just were looking at it too seriously, its all about the humor, everything is very tongue in check and sarcastic, we watched it again and they were rolling on the ground laughing. anyway, that’s my rant about the mexican and meet joe black. as for this movie i have been waiting for years for this movie (it completes the trilogy of movies by this screenwriter all based around a single event, a car crash, and how it changes peoples lives) i have loved the director/screenwriter/cinematographer since thier first movie together Amores Perros, which was also Gael Garcia’s first movie. If you liked 21 grams, or even if you didn’t go check this movie out. it is amazing. i can’t wait until october!

I think he looks so sexy and vulnerable in these shots..so yea .there you go.I cannot wait to see this. I love Brad and I love Innaritu’s films. 21 grams just brilliant.

I don’t think they had to use too much make up, he is not aging well. His guilt is eating him from the inside out.

# 73 | Barf And your Idiocy has consumed you.

What would he be feeling guilty about? Not having children and family for that long a time?

I thought Brad looked real good in that interview with Ann Curry in NO. He looked younger than his age of 42 and was very appealing too especially when he talked about his family. That movie was done over a year ago and yet people still see him as that 49 year old character?Now we know that’s reaching…the haters can’t see anything beyond what they feel. Everything’s ugly to them now except for the hag. What a pathetic outlook to have , all that hatred.

#79 You must be an 85 yearold woman if you think he looks younger than 42.

IMO It’s about time BP’s talent be rewarded.He ’s one of very few actors who survived HW and certainly paid his dues.Love to see him hold SHILOH and his OSCAR in each hand.

YUP YUP Braddy is hot … even aged, your right he will make a intrusting old man, the movie looks very intense, I do not know if I can watch it either, having children has made me very wimpy, I use to love horror fics every-thing, now well Deadmans chest with johny Depp is all I can handle at the moment

#77, What would he be ashamed about? Leaving his wife for a crazy ***** that his own family doesn’t like. Even his Grandma still talks about how much they still love her. Getting another woman pregnant while married to another? How low.

I can’t wait to see this movie. I have been catching up on BP movies also. He is a talent actor but because of his looks gets underestimated. However, he is quite good.#77 Barf Let it go. Move on. You are only adding to your own misery. BP did not leave you nor does he know you. Go barf at your own life or get a life.

# 85 | Just Jared fan I sort of agree with you JJfan. I can handle the parent’s storyline, and the Chinese [?] one, it’s the kids in jeopardy I can’t handle. Our daughter is grown, and I STILL can’t handle danger to kids.On the other hand, this IS going to be a HUGE film for Brad, and I’d really like to see it.Where is everyone tonight?

looks good.

I would really like to watch this movie. Babel won the best director award in Canes Film Festival. It also won the Ecumenical Jury Award for Best Picture in Cannes.

Innaritu on Babel and Brad PittAlejandro Gonzalez Innaritu’s third feature, following "Amores Perros" and "21 Grams," receives its world premiere as a competition entry at the 2006 Festival de Cannes. The film is as close to Esperanto, the acclaimed Mexican director says. At the center of "Babel," is the subject at the core of 21st century life: Lack of communication.Budgeted at $25 million, "Babel" was shot in three countries (Mexico, Japan, and Morocco) and in four languages: Those of the countries noted above and English, since the central protagonists are American: A San Diego married couple traveling in Morocco (played by Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett). Needless to say, the title refers to the biblical notion of people speaking different languages and unable to establish human communication. Biblical MotifOn a conventional level (and conventions are useful to tell stories) it can be said that "Babel" is about miscommunication. But for me, the story is about how vulnerable and fragile we are as human beings, and when a link is broken, it’s not the link that is rotten but the chain itself.The SubjectBabel is about people trying to communicate across barriers and borders of language in different positions in Third-World countries. I would not have conceived this personal idea without being a director in exile living five years in L.A. outside my country. How difficult it is to communicate. Ideas and prejudices divide us more than borders.Language BarriersThe film is not about the obvious definition of language barriers. You don’t have to be lost in the Morocco desert or in the middle of the Shibuya district to feel that you are isolated. The most terrifying loneliness and isolation is the one that we experiment with ourselves, our wives, and our children.The ScriptI started the script with Carlos Cuaron, brother of Alfonso, then invited Guillermo Arriago, who wrote the script for "21 Grams," to finish the script with me. I traveled to Japan, it was a circus of one year out of the country with my wife and two kids, now 11 and 8. It was a human transformative experience.Personal FilmBabel, like every film of mine, is a testimony of my point of view of life. Who I am, my weaknesses, and my virtues. I was throwing ideas into the script. I was traveling for one year. This was special to me. "Babel" is dedicated to my two children.Link with Previous FilmsFor the third time, I tell a story about parents and children. With "Babel," I wanted to explore the contradiction between the popular perception that this is such a small world with apparently so many new tools of communication and the equally strong sense that humans still can’t express and communicate with each other at the most fundamental levels.Film’s Title and ScopeI wanted to try to capture the whole idea of human communication—its ambitions, its beauty, and its problems—with one word. The title was picked after the screenplay was written. I considered so many different titles, but when I thought of the story of genesis, it made so much sense as a metaphor for the film. Each one of us has his own different language, but I believe we all share the same spiritual spine.Collaborating with ArriagaThe talent of Guillermo Arriaga (who also scripted "Amores Perros" and "21 Grams") is extraordinary. His writing is profound and powerful. He has been an amazing collaborator, carving out four narratives that unravel in three disparate parts of the world.The Japanese StoryThe Japanese story is kind of silent. The camera is on the deaf mute teenage girl, played by newcomer Rinko Kikuchi. Her father is the unbelievable actor Koji Yokusho. Origins of the Mexican StoryThe story is about a nanny taking care of two American kids (of the couple in Morocco) who has to cross the border. It’s a sad story inspired by a nanny working with me who told me so many sad stories. She is played by Adrina Barraza, who played the mother of Gael Garcia Bernal in "Amores Perros." Gael plays her nephew in this movie.Link among the StoriesThe three stories are related, but they are physically related only briefly, with just a touch. They take place over two days.Working with Star Brad PitBrad Pitt was a partner of Bard Grey at Plan B before landing the top position at Paramount, replacing longtime exec Sherry Lansing. Brad Pitt and Grey had a very good relationship, but Brad was attached to the film before we signed with Grey and Paramount. The whole experience was difficult and intense. Directing actors in another language is not easy.For the American couple (Pitt and Cate Blanchett) traveling through Morocco, who are in a sad, intense and personally emotional situation, Brad represented the type of American I needed for the story. However, it is not a n obvious choice and it’s not a characteristic Pitt role that the public is familiar with. Normally, in my casting choices, I go against what your standard instinct tells you. It’s because I believe art is a transformative experience. I envision Richard (Pitt’s character) as an icon of the all-American male, faced with trouble in a Muslim country today. Brad has not done this type of role before, and I felt it was a challenge and I was excited—and I think he was too—to transform him into a middle-aged man in crisis. Brad had to leave the "Brad Pitt" screen image behind and to become a more fragile man. He did an amazing job, and he gave me everything he had. http://emanuellevy.com/article.php?articleID=2600

I love Gael and Brad, excelent combination!

Pitt pushing the right ‘Button’Thesp outfits summer skedBrad Pitt’s calendar is now very full.Thesp has committed to star in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," a Paramount/Warner Bros. co-production, which he’ll make after he reprises his role this summer in the Steven Soderbergh-directed "Ocean’s Thirteen" at Warner Bros.Pitt is also circling Universal’s "State of Play," the pricey Americanized adaptation of the acclaimed British miniseries. Matthew Carnahan is writing the script. Pitt is interested in playing a journalist and former campaign manager of a fast-rising politician who unravels a murder conspiracy involving his former boss."Button," which has been on Pitt’s radar for at least a year, re-teams the thesp with his "Fight Club" director David Fincher and Cate Blanchett, his "Babel" co-star. The project has been developed for more than a decade in several different incarnations.Scripted by Eric Roth from a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, drama casts Pitt as a man who hits age 50 and begins aging backward. Complications ensue when he falls in love with a woman of 30. "Button," which is produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, is likely to start production in late fall.Pitt wrapped "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" in December. Through his Plan B banner, Pitt is also a producer of "A Mighty Heart," the Michael Winterbottom-directed drama for Paramount Vantage that will star Angelina Jolie as slain journalist Daniel Pearl’s widow Marianne. The film, which was scripted by John Orloff, is undergoing a rewrite by Winterbottom and Laurence Coriat.source: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117947479?categoryid=13&cs=1

From Hollywood Elsewhere"I loved seeing Babel again. I’m more convinced than ever that it’s going to do well with paying audiences over 25 or 30 because it’s about parenting and children, and who outside of childless singles doesn’t have strong feelings about that? Memories and worries and regrets to dip into? It sank in emotionally a little deeper because I saw it at home in a more settled frame of mind, and not in one of those cranked-up states that I’m always in during the Cannes Film Festival."

And, last thought to she who was blown away by AJ’s book, who would not have something affecting to say? However, when someone spends 36 to 48 hours ‘in the field’ at any location, how much are they roughing it? She has the nearest 5 star or equivalent before and after her day or day and a half at these ‘gigs’ — and I call them gigs cuz the bottom line is it’s all about elevating herself to a different level, especially when she seriously needed it cuz the goth thing was back-slipping for her big time.

Hehe…I know you are but what am I?Jared is that you? Or your alter-ego Cliniqua?

109 No Hatin meTHOSE WHO SAY ANGELINA IS ONLY DOING HER UN WORK FOR PUBLICITY SHOULD READ THE BOOK,so please don’t embrass yourself any more.To those people who want the truth not rumours,like myself I went and read the book and the reality is ANGELINA doesn’t as you say just go for 36 to 48hrs and she sleeps rough, where
