FIRST LOOK: Angelina Jolie as Mariane Pearl in ‘A Mighty Heart’

Angelina Jolie plays Mariane, widow of the Wall Street Journal reporter, who was murdered by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002 while researching a story on the links between “shoe bomber” Richard Reid and Islamic spiritual leader Sheikh Mubarak Gilani. Mariane was pregnant with their child (inset) when her husband was kidnapped.

Jolie said in a weekend statement that she was disappointed not to be filming in Pakistan, “a country I love and have visited three times.” But security concerns pushed the filming to the western Indian city of Pune, which was chosen because it resembles Karachi, Pakistan.

WOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!! Here is the very first movie still of Angelina Jolie in the role of Mariane Pearl in A Mighty Heart (2007). The film is shooting in Pune, India and is based on the 2003 book A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl, by Mariane Pearl. More pictures in the gallery of Mariane, Daniel, and son Adam Pearl. A big thanks to oldie!!

UPDATE :: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie donated $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation through the recently formed Jolie-Pitt Foundation. Brad and Angie released this statement: “On this day our thoughts go out to Danny’s family. The Daniel Pearl Foundation is celebrating this day, his birthday, with music festivals around the world. The festivals are a great reminder of not just Danny’s work as a journalist but of his life and his love of music.”

WOOOW….I had my doubts about Angelina playing Marianne because I initially thought they had zero resemblance….but makeup and a wig can go far!!!….hopefully she can portray Marianne’s personality well too

14 | COLD HARD MATH | - Hey CHM, WOW is correct, she is simply AMAZING

We love you Angie!
What a perfect resemblance.

JARED you are the best :lol: She looks amazing, I even had my doubts, WOOW!!

damn they did a great job (makeup,etc.). They should get a bonus..jk

amazing what makeup, hair, posture and the proper eye expression can do!

WOW. kudos to the hair and makeup artists on set, even though it
doesn’t seem like it was too hard of a transformation. uncanny
resemblance. Marianne, Angie, and Angie as Marianne all look
beautiful.

She looks beautiful! But I think they made her a little bit too dark. When you look at the inset of Marianne, you can see she’s somewhat lighter. But I think Angie will do a good job on the role!!
Love her

Goodness, she looks like her. Wow…just wow. And this is the role the other one was meant to play? :lol:

Thanks Jared and g’nite all.

Does Marianne has an accent?

Angie was definitely the right choice,the only choice, to play this part. I can’t get over the resemblance. Simply more beautiful than ever.

Give our Angie a chance and she will prove the world wrong. She looks great for the part.

Holy crap! She looks just like her or at least a lot like her. This is along the lines of when Ben Kingsley was transformed into Ghandi. Again WOW!
