Brad & Angelina to do the Cannes Cannes

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are set to open the Cannes Film Festival on May 16 in France with A Mighty Heart, produced by Pitt’s company, Plan B.

“The story unfolds like a mystery,” said Jolie, who plays Mariane Pearl, the widow of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. “You’ve got people collecting clues and trying to solve what happened. But it’s also very real and personal. We didn’t want it to be too melodramatic or too polished. We didn’t want it to be a typical movie.”

Says co-star Dan Futterman (pictured), “It would usually take about five minutes before people would figure out that it was Angelina. So we ended up shooting a lot of the exterior stuff in five-minute increments.”

She looks so different with her hair curly like that. But still beautiful, and I love the dress. I saw a piece about Angie on E!, don’t know if it’s the same one piper with a low was talking about but this one was actually decent. I stand by what I said earlier, E! is playing nice guy to all the other bad tabs in hopes of scoring brownie points with Brad and Angie.

Jared, you got the information wrong. My Blueberry Night is opening the Cannes Film Festival on May 16, not A Mighty Heart. A Mighty Heart is scheduled to premiere on May 21.

she looks so pretty.

Is it me or does it seem like this was all Brad’s idea. See, we knew as early as Jan 2007 that O13 was going to be shown at Cannes. And some of us wondered if Angelina will go or if one of her movie will debut there too.

Now we have not only O13 confirmed but AMH. I would like to think Brad is behind this because he got to keep his woman and family close. Doesn’t like to be separated from them.

Can’t wait for this movie to hit the big screen. The Cannes Film Festival will be hoppin’ with a star studded red carpet, with B&A right in middle of the frenzy!

Angelina looks beautiful in this photo. Thanks, Jared ! !

__________________________
I saw the coverage on Angie on E! also ( it is my guilty pleasure while I walk three miles on my treadmill) and I do agree with you that lately, all the references to Angelina, Brad and their family has been reported with alot less snark than in the past. Brownie points is what they be after, and if that’s the case, I hope they get some for their efforts.

I can’t wait to see them at Cannes. Y’all know what this means…more pictures.

Dina#1, I just think it’s youtube because I uploaded the video hours ago and it work then for awhile it wasn’t. But then it started working again and now, not so much. I tried to remove one of test junk videos and the site won’t let me.

Alex, I am glad to hear you’re doing well. I’m working on Mean Boys 2 :) I need to get my mind away from the angst that’s in it lol

Thanks Jared for the new thread!

Amaya, could you post the link to your new video again? Please? Thank you!

And about the new forum, don’t worry, many of us belong to other forums. But JJ is fun because it is open and not as regulated as the closed ones, for instance Bradforums has a no bashing rule. I love BF and I also like JJ a lot; they are very different and do not exclude each other.
