OlderFIRST 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.”

Just curious first time I heard of this but.. why did she claim money from that fund? I dont understand.
Thank you so much Jared for doing this. Now I can go to bed happy. Angelina’s pic looking so much like Marianne Pearl took the gloomy feeling I had because of what DT said about Angie. You just don’t know how it means so much to me.
This just shows we have to trust in Brad and Angelina’s judgement. I also wondered how can she transform herself to Marianne. I am confident that Angie is going to do an excellent job.

hey there! stardust was saying something similar to blogspot on the other thread. Heck, I remember those times and yes I had a different name back then..haha. Hey, when those pictures were posted (X on the beach), I heard on the radio the next day that she was awarded with a certificate of being a citizen…roflmao. I actually told Alexanderina the story. I guess she added that to her award collections jp.
being a good citizen for pickin’ up the poopies..*
NYC2345,
I applaud MP for cashing the life insurance and 119 fund, if she did.
What pregnant woman (or woman with a child )should do after her husband was killed suddenly without any savings?
What do you think you would do in the same situation?
MP is a survivor and she is also involved in many of humanitarian work.
There is a proverb saying “only one who ate tear soaked bread know how it taste like”.
Since MP has been through the terrible situation, she can help people with all of her heart.
goodnight AG, Frenchy, Alexanderina….
Funny suddenly Vanessa (firstimer) agreeing with Desiree…And where’s Desiree now huh Vanessa. Multiple personalties once again. Geez these hater(s) they are getting good at this role-playing. LOL
thanks Guli - you are my hero tonight and I wont forget to add this at the end of this sentence :lol: Only for tonight though.
Montserrat - you rarely post but I always enjoy reading your post because they come with information - stuff that were need here to do battle. Anyways, post often.
i’ll try posting this again

Jolie begins film shoot in India
Tuesday Oct 10 14:50 AEST
A leafy boulevard in an Indian city stood in for a swish Pakistani neighbourhood as Hollywood star Angelina Jolie began shooting for a film about a US journalist abducted and killed in Pakistan.
The film, A Mighty Heart, is the story of Daniel Pearl, a reporter with The Wall Street Journal who was kidnapped in the Pakistani port city of Karachi and killed in 2002 while researching a report in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.
It will be shot for a month in the western Indian industrial city of Pune as security concerns prevented filming in Pakistan.
On Monday, filming began in a two-storey white bungalow in Pune’s Sindh Society locality, which has a striking similarity to the district in Karachi - with its boulevards, row houses and bungalows - where Pearl was staying.

Jared: thank you, thank you
I did something good tonight. That NYC 2345 insulted Marianne Pearl. I flagged it. It worked
It worked.
74 | jjoy | Of course and I am sure she is lurking away :-) Hey JJoy, I had this funny thought as I was looking at Angie’s pics louking perfect as Mariane and yesterdays events etc. Remember when all the papz were like AJ stole Jens dream role…… Please, can you imagine her in India let alone looking like AJ does portrying Mariane??? It really is hilarious to even think about it :lol:
Monserrat…Haters will believe only the lies because they thrive from those lies. And the way they put out the lies as if it was the truth. It always happen.
guli…Then the movie A Mighty Heart will turn to a comedy movie if JA is on it.
I would hear the crickets then sounding off from the background.. :-| jp
well talking it over and getting at the truth is one thing deleting a post seems like censorship if it wasnt profane.
JMO
Guli - I was thinking about that the very second I saw it. I even realized how ironic it would be to see X with a bump…after all the DRAMA in real ife. Then again, I thought maybe there wouldnt have been DRAMA if she had this role because it means she was still married to Brad.
Funny how certains things/events go hand in hand
Brad+Angie+pregnacy = true
Brad+Jen+pregnacy = what!
:lol:
Vince is not kissing another woman on the lips. He is kissing her on the cheek. I thought you guys said you dont follow tabloids. Brainless.
I always thought Angie would be wonderful in this part but wasn’t
sure about pure physical resemblance (not that it matters much)–
but WOW! She really does resemble M. Pearl.
I can not help myself, and I have to keep on posting.
Angie looks multicultural (??): sometimes she looks like European, Asian, Hispanic, or real American (with blond hair - like in TGS or life or something like it). Also she can change her image with just different hair styles. She has assets to be a good actress as well as good talent.
81 | angelah …. :lol: that’s the only award she can get….. you know i don’t even remember how i got to jj’s blogspot originally….it’s more than two years since i learnt about jj’s…. can you imagine…two years….wow!!! i also used a different name and then dolphin girl collected our name and she set up an email group….i think dolphin girl is the one that start the brangelina fans blog (not sure) and then we learnt about EA with Blu….wow…i made a lot of cyber friends who love and admire this couple and now a family….we have now a BAMZSVILLE and it’s international…. :)
Lets ignore the haters. It’s obvious on looks alone Angelina and Dan Futterman were great choices for this movie. I believe they are both great actors. I wonder if Mariane is there giving Angelina some tips.

I am not really sure of the story because quite frankly I knew how it would be received and never read any of the stories. My theory is that because he died while investigating the events of 9/11 her lawyer though she stood a chance because it arose out of the same events even though not directly a result of 9/11. Basically an indirect causal effect.
That claim however was too attenuated to be given real merit.
Thanks Kearnie.
I only post when I am incensed by people’s stupidity. I know, I know , in that case I should post all the time.
99 | jjoy |– aw we’re so recollecting the old times. i believe it was for rica’s fanfic email list. I told ate char that I found this site through tmz. Ok back to the present..heheheh.– I cant wait to see this movie!!
92 | ALISTER |and kearnie—-Honestly, I really can not picture her doing this role , but unfortunately, I really think she thought she could carry movies like this. Pretty sad ain’t it….
