Angelina Jolie Tends To Her Flock

Angelina Jolie Tends To Her Flock

Angelina Jolie attended a photocall earlier this weekend for her upcoming film, The Good Shepard, at The Regency Hotel in NYC. The countdown to the nationwide release of The Good Shepherd has started. December 22, y’all! T-minus 11 days and counting!

So far, the reviews have also been mixed for The Good Shepherd:

  • “While a bit unwieldy at nearly three hours and at times slow going, the film is absolutely fascinating for anyone who shares De Niro’s passions.” — The Hollywood Reporter
  • “Not boring, exactly, but undeniably tedious.” — Variety

This is the press conference where Angelina shared about possibly playing Ava in Sin City 2: “We talked about it and I read the comic. I don’t think the film is being made at this moment. When it’s actually going to be made I’m sure we’ll talk about it. It was a funny thing, because the idea came to me when I was pregnant. So it was this idea… I’ve been Clover (in ‘The Good Shepherd’), depressed and quiet, and then I was feeling very maternal, pregnant. It was this idea of this sexy, violent and loud [character]… I thought maybe after I’m pregnant it would be nice to do.”

C’mon ladiesm I know the haters are distracting but I need some suggestions.
. :’-( here, I’ll post it again:

Fellow fans, I’m making my Christmas wish list to give to my family. I want to write down some BP DVDs. I already have Thelma & Louise, River, Legends, 12 Monkeys, Fight Club and Troy. What would you suggest I should put on my list?
I can’t get all of them.

What if they buy me TBU???

+++++++

“True Romance”
“Sleepers”
“Seven”

Oh, i see, the haters are in panic mode again. They just can’t stand to look at this beautiful family. Do you know what’s the difference between Angelina and Jen? Angelina is evolving, Jen is regressing. Plain and simple.
It’s strange that today Cliniqua is the main target of attacks. No problem, Cliniqua is good at defending herself, and we like her witty posts.
Now I’m waiting for the premiere pics with or without Brad. This will be a great night for BAMZSfans and much worse for the ocean LOL.

Tanx 2U2. I’ve seen every one of these except sleepers.

I did think he was hot, well actually cute as could be in Joe Black. And the Mexican was sooo funny. I think I’ll rent Sleepers and then pull the titles out of a hat. So much Brad, so little time.

crybabyAniston @ 12/11/2006 at 3:31 pm

Thanks Jared for the photos and I love the Lee Art Store photo….I’am so happy the self impose wall has come down. I was getting so tired of the ex framing the conversations. Now Brad and Angie are talking…well Angie is and she is stating their positions on their relationship.

What i love so much is that Angie is the one controling the discussion not the media…she has no problem being open and natural talking about her family. It is just an extention of her life. They’re like an old married couple that been together for years. It getting so Angie seem to been the one Brad was married for seven years instead of 18months.

“Time flies when you’re having fun.”

Soy Game is also good, though it was not a BO success at the time. And one of my faves is Interview with the Vampire.

josephine @ 12/11/2006 at 3:35 pm

how many of you here were jolie fans when she was considered a hollywood freak, talking about cutting herself, and basically being regarded as a nutcase?

now, that she’s media’s sweetheart because she’s got the man, and is all about saving the world and adopting babies, you all adore her.

the moment brad dumps her because of a younger actress (1 year, 5 years, 10 years from now- because hollywood marriages won’t last), she’ll be on your shitlist and the new babe will be your queen. you’re just a bunch of morons who idolize anyone that paprazzi go crazy about.

plus what’s this talk about a pretty family- angie’s lips look like a butt, brad looks like he’s 16, and maddox is just getting uglier and uglier. the boy’s got a monobrow. oh yeah, and baby z. looks like she’s mentally retarded with a vapid look on her face.

had fun with dreadlocks and afros! oh, they’re so multi-culti, like a benetton ad.

josephine @ 12/11/2006 at 3:36 pm

not to mention brad can’t act to save his life, and angie’s good at one role- playing crazy people.

Angelina's portion of TGS pres @ 12/11/2006 at 3:36 pm

Dozens of paparazzi were crouched like lions outside the entrances and exits of a Manhattan hotel last Friday, and not because they’re big fans of Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth and really wanted to take a snap of him. The more attractive half of ‘Brangelina’ is in town, on break from filming A Mighty Heart in India, and she made a late agreement to show up at the junket for her latest project, The Good Shepherd. The film, which is best described as ‘The WASP Godfather,’ originated with Francis Ford Coppola some years ago and tumbled through many levels of development hell before finally landing at the feet of Robert De Niro. It tells the story of the birth of the CIA through a tight-knit group of ambitious boys, including Matt Damon, who first meet at Yale and then continue their secret-handshake games throughout World War II and into the Cold War. Among other things, the film marks the return of Joe Pesci to the screen after an absence of eight years.

Thanks to the barely controlled chaos of the day and the various gossip columnists who muscled into the event after catching wind of you-know-who’s RSVP, Cinematical wasn’t able to drum up much time with the attendees, but we were still on hand for most of the day to watch De Niro, Roth, Damon and Jolie sweat it out under the hot lights for the sake of their pet project. Here is a sampling of what went on:

Angelina Jolie

Cinematical: Can you give an update on Atlas Shrugged? What sparked your interest in developing it? “I think it’s a wonderful book. I’m a fan of her writing. I think it’s an amazing project. It’s, in many ways, a controversial and complicated project and I think it needs to be done right. There’s been a lot of talk as to how that can be and ‘what are the important reasons for making it?’ There’s a lot of really great people involved. It’s being written now, and we’ll see as the script comes out, how close we are. Then we’ll know how close we are to possibly making it. Everybody involved, the producers involved, we all sat down around a table and we all agreed that if we couldn’t do it right, if we couldn’t do it justice, if along the way any one piece didn’t come together like the right director or the right script, then we would all just fold it and not do it. So that’s where we’re at right now. We’re taking it step by step, and we’re going to make damn sure that it’s done right.”

Cinematical: What are the ‘important reasons’ you referred to? “I think it’s too complicated to get into, because I think the discussion about that project, the misconceptions about her [Ayn Rand], different interpretations of her, that script … it is a huge subject. So I’d be tentative about speaking lightly about it.”

Non-Cinematical Question: Have you ever been made aware of any CIA activity in developing countries during your humanitarian work? “I’ve never been aware of something specific, but I’ve witnessed our foreign policy and I’ve witnessed the change in the perception of America’s foreign policy in the last few years. Every trip I take in the field has been different because of the changes we’ve made. I’m sure the CIA has had a hand in that. What changes are you referring to? Well, to be completely honest, about five years ago when I started traveling and I would say I was American, everyone was very, very excited and they thought it was the greatest thing in the world, the greatest place in the world. Now you feel cautious. You feel that people are not so joyful about that. They question my country or they say things like ‘Oh, it’s extraordinary that you’re here, because you’re American.’ And that’s not true to the American people. The American people are very caring, generous people. That’s been proven with the work every individual household has done, the charity they do, and who we are as a people. But it’s not what our government has represented in the last few years, so it’s been difficult to go to places abroad and see that. I think we all know exactly what I’m saying.”

Non-Cinematical Question: Bob De Niro and Matt Damon both met with lots of CIA people in preparation for this role. Did you research by meeting with CIA families? “I didn’t, because most of the people they could talk to were men in the CIA. Women like Clover were absent, or quieted, or moved to Arizona. It was almost impossible to talk to the women, and I think the reality is that the women knew so little. There would be very little to talk about. So my choice was almost to really talk to nobody, understand nothing, and be trapped in this world. Sometimes De Niro’s character would come in and I hadn’t focused on exactly who he was in the script and exactly what he did. I didn’t do my research on it, so he walked in and I really wasn’t sure who he was. That was kind of how I stayed in the dark.”

Non-Cinematical Question: Do you want to work with Brad Pitt again? “Who’s going to watch the children?”

Non-Cinematical Question: Talk about how you connected with the character. What was it about her that you identified with? “I think that kind of ‘feeling alone’. I haven’t necessarily felt that in a marriage, per say, but in my life. She’s surrounded by a lot of people with a lot of secrets. A lot of quiet, a lot of people just ‘accepting’. As much as she’s broken, she’s also the only person who is desperate to scream out and try to get some reaction, something honest. I’ve found that in my life a lot. And it would break me, I would start drinking or something terrible, if I was in a situation where I was surrounded by lies or secrets or quiet, and just not a real life.”

Non-Cinematical Question: Do you think a certain amount of deception or self-deception is necessary in a relationship? “No, I think quite the opposite is the only thing that works. I don’t want to spend my life having to pretend to be someone else. And I don’t want the person next to me to have to pretend, ever, because we’ve got a long life ahead of us. You want to just be able to be who you are in every moment, and that’s the only way you’ll ever be truly happy, anyway.”

Non-Cinematical Question: Are you still interested in Sin City 2? “Yeah, we’ve talked about it and I read the comic. I don’t think the film is being made at this point, so when it’s actually going to be, then I’m sure we’ll talk about it. It was a funny thing because the idea came to me when I was pregnant. It was this idea that ‘I’ve been Clover and depressed and quiet’ and now I’m maternal and pregnant, and here was this idea of….sexy, violent and loud. I thought, ‘after I’m pregnant, maybe that will be nice to do’. It didn’t come at that time, but we’re still talking about it. I have no idea when it might go, and if I’ll have time when it does, but I think it’s a very interesting project, and I like the comics and I love him as a director, so it’s a possibility. A strong possibility.”

Non-Cinematical Question: How did you feel about seeing yourself in age make-up in the film? “Well, my mom is aging gracefully, so if I’m anything like my mother….she’s lovely. I love age on a face. I know that in this business, there’s not a lot of leverage for the way people have an opinion on how people should look, but I personally love it. I love to age in movies. I love to see my face old and in different ways. I actually feel there’s something very comforting about feeling yourself as an older woman. You know that when you get to that point, you’re going to have earned so many different things and be rooted in so many different ways. There’s a kind of comfort to it. Clover was a little different. I hopefully will not break apart as she did. We had these big yellow contacts and yellow teeth. I had ‘alcohol age’ if you look closely. A lot of broken capillaries and a lot of yellow.”

You’re acting like a basket case over someone you don’t like. Hello, pot, this is the kettle, you’re black. Or is that not politically correct?

And here in lies the truth. Josephine, don’t open your mouth and remove all doubt. A human being wouldn’t go after innocent children.
