OlderAngelina Jolie is a WANTED WOMAN!
Angelina Jolie will star next alongside James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman in Wanted, reports Variety.
Wanted is an action film from Universal Pictures based on a graphic novel that Timur Bekmambetov will direct.
Angelina accepted the role after the script was rewritten by Dean Georgaris (Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life) to tailor the character for her (script was originated by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas).
Angelina, 31, will play an assassin who trains a wanna killer (McAvoy) and will travel to Eastern Europe in May to begin shooting.
UPDATE :: Variety also reports that Brad Pitt will star in the Americanized version of the acclaimed British miniseries State of Play. Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland) will direct.

Jared you forgot to add that she’s doing the Eastwood movie. Variety confirm it yesterday.
Deal marks the second recent U commitment for Jolie, who’ll star this fall for director Clint Eastwood in drama “The Changeling,” to be produced by Imagine Entertainment partners Brian Grazer and Ron Howard and Malpaso’s Rob Lorenz.

Too true. Maybe we should come up with a witty comment to use(I vote for PT) instead of trying to explain that her words may have been taken out of context. This way we can say “refer to post #.” It saves time and server space. However, I still think some won’t get it (sigh)
Thanks for the new thread Just Jared. I am digging the new layout.
Safe travel to all. Best wishes to BAMPZS.
Morgan Freeman and Angie?! I love it!
AG, apparently, the punishment for being a dem and being married to a man that criticized this administration is the loss of your career. Robert Novak, the b@stard that publicly outed her said that she donated money to Gore’s campaign as if that made what he did excusable. To this day, he still claims that she wasn’t covert even though Patrick Fitzgerald and the Director Hayden said that she was indeed covert.

Oh come on! We’re talking about the vultures here…you should know they’ll pounce as quickly as possible.
Jared, nice play on words there. I bet when some of the “not a Fan” saw the title of this thread, they went “Yes!! Finally, they’re gonna cart her away” and before anyone asks for what crime….don’t. We’re talking about the Fanistons here….it could be for just existing.
I think Perez has the right ongoing assessment of the jps. She escapes a kidnapping plot, flies to countries where she is “attacked” by papz and yet she still is allowed to adopt? What other person would be allowed that unless they paid some serious money out? I think AJ does think children grow in factories!

**** the haters! I’m so happy she’s working with Eastwood :D and Morgan Freeman.
**** those that think it is okay to do what she is to these poor children. so much for educating, protecting and caring for. these kids don’t differ much from michael jackson’s brood. it’s a sham and a shame.
She should Sin City too.

Aaah….I see. Well in that case, my lips are sealed.
The Pitts are considered universal citizens. AJ can still be at home mom.
They have several homes. Anywhere in the world can be their home as long as the family is together . AS long as there are no absence of love and caring, the Pitts will be Ok . What a team…..
Thanks JJ for the new thread.
Have a nice everyone….
good morning all. another new thread! Amaya, are you still here?
I thought haters(my bad critics) were only worried about Shiloh. Now it is Pax. I think that Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh will all be fine. It is a lot easier to worry about your own life rather than 2 doting parents who have money, time(you can only sit around waiting on a studio lot so long) and resources to take care of a Army of children. They will all be fine. AJ is a “wanted” actresss. She is a dream actress for a lot of directors and producers. They will throw her name out there, hoping she will bite and to get financing for their movie. BP and AJ know their schedule better than the people on blogs. Don’t hate, appreciate.
Jolie can take a time off to care for Pax until the end of the year when they start shooting these new projects. That’s more than half-a-year ahead. That should be enough time to settle Pax in. As a child I also was brought to Canada without a word of English when I was 4, then started to speak fluently within 6 months. Jolie said she is going to stay home to care for Pax adjust to the new environment. She didn’t say she was going to retire.
JENNIFER FANS YOU ARE A LOSER I THOUGHT WHAN SOMENOE LOSER A BATTLE WHO DOESN”T RIGHT TO TALK ,BUT YOU REFUSE TO GIVE UP., SOON OR LATER YOU WILL.
this sounds really cool.the guy who’s directing “wanted” directed a great russian horror/action movie a while back called “nightwatch”.this guy is a major talent.
also the film is based on a graphic novel which sounds really cool.factor in all this and james mcavoy,morgan freeman and of course angie and this has massive potential.now that angie is gonna be in it im am hugely anticipating it.
Thanks, Jared.
I am so happy for Angie. It must be great to be WANTED. LOL
AG……ROTFLMBO about your comment in #30.
bampzs’ers- doesn’t it take awhile to do preparations and stuff before filming? If it is an action film then she would be learning the scenes and how to do them and also memorizing the script. I am only asking b/c it seems quick unless we just didn’t know about this movie.
Jolie can take a time off to care for Pax until the end of the year when they start shooting these new projects.
Wanted starts production in two months! then in the fall she films The Changeling.
Thanks Jared for the new thread. I love Morgan Freeman. Angie and Morgan in a movie together, that would just be fantastic
Seems to me like it might not be such a big deal. It’s not like she’s signed on to do the LOTR trilogy. Her role in filming might only last a couple weeks, and she and her fam lovely fam could vacation in Eastern Europe to boot. Plus, an A-lister like her can take her kids on set — she’s fortunate. For most of us “work” means being separated from our families.
ATTENTION TO ANY INSANE PRODUCER: please give MANISTON A JOB even a supporting role so that her fans will stop criticizing AJ AND BRAD.

She should Sin City too.
=====================================================
Thanks but no thanks. Angie is well belong movies like this. She has proven she has the chops to do meatier roles.
And I dislike the way the guy is always trying to use Angie name to hype Sin City 2.
Is the movie about the assassin, who teaches the kid to be an assassin? A passing of the guard type movie? Hell no! It’s about the kid– the would-be assassin.
It’s not a teacher-student movie like the Karate Kid, so STFU!

“I’m not making any movies right now,” Jolie said in the interview. “I
will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life. I have four children, and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment.”
Hope you understand what right now means
