Brad & Angelina to do the Cannes Cannes

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.”

Forget Angelina Jolie, the person Brad Pitt can’t seem to live without is George Clooney. At least on the big screen.

The Ocean’s Thirteen duo has teamed up yet again, this time for Burn After Reading, a black comedy—what else?—from the Coen brothers.

Details of the story are scarce at best, although per the Hollywood Reporter, the film will be set in the world of the CIA and follows an agent who loses a disc which contains a tell-all book he’s been writing about his work and life.

Clooney will play the role of the agent, but it’s unknown exactly how Pitt will factor into the film.

Also on board is frequent Coen muse and director Joel Coen’s wife, Frances McDormand.

Joel and brother Ethan cowrote the secretive script, which marks the fraternal pair’s first original screenplay offering since 2001’s O Brother, Where Art Thou?, a film that also marked the first of what will now be three big screen outings with Clooney.

After O Brother, the threesome reteamed up for 2003’s Intolerable Cruelty. Burn After Reading marks just the first time the brothers have worked with Pitt.

The movie is expected to go into production in Los Angeles this August.

However, the would-be collaborators may be meeting up before then.

The parties are all expected to convene in Cannes next month to promote several high-profile projects.

While dueling Sexiest Men Alive Pitt and Clooney will walk the Riviera’s red carpet in support of Ocean’s Thirteen, Pitt will also surely cause a media sensation when he and Jolie premiere A Mighty Heart at the south of France festival May 16. The film, produced by Pitt’s Plan B, stars Jolie as the widow of murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Both will screen out of competition at the 60th edition of the venerable fest.

The Coen brothers’ latest offering, however, will be vying for the coveted Palme d’Or with cthe rime drama No Country for Old Men, a blood-soaked adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel.

I copied this out to check on the May 16 date, since JJ wrote the same and someone said it was wrong.

I knew it! It’s all about the paper. IMO, if Basinger had as viable a career as Baldwin, maybe people would take this more seriously instead of wobbling about it. Mind you, she’s not that innocent either; directing this recording to the court was entirely enough, IMO.

Victim? Repetition? LMAO!! Ok hon, you win this YOUR site, YOUR life. As much as I respect and love this family, I dont’t have to love and respect you, a “fan”. Keep fighting the good fight. More power to you, it must get tiring. What a joke.

Hi ida, if you are around someone stole your name and they’ve been writing theirs as Ida, they use your name frequently on ___’s thread as her fan.

Interesting that you mentioned the Coens…

Frances McDormand doesn’t get accused of getting roles in Coen Brothers movies just because she’s married to one of them.

And that’s a CHECKMATE!

Buh-bye, Margaret Dumont!!

thanks for the video

Scrolling back…I know a few here don’t care for conspiracy theories - but “Iwon’tseemovie” is one of the few PAID FOR HATER TROLLS that HUVANE hires to REGULARLY TROLL THIS BOARD and instigate TROUBLE. They’ve been given orders: they are the same people that kicked up dust ON THE WEB 7 months ago when it was learned that A MIGHTY HEART was going to Angelina.

*(BY THE WAY, There were NO ‘black online communities’ who objected to A MIGHTY HEART, one HATER blogger and faniston, managed to get a blurb objecting to the casting onto msnbc. IT WAS A PLANT. Msnbc, framed it AS IF this black online community was upset that Marianne Pearl was being played by Jolie and linked a black site. Only prob is when you actually went to the site, you had ALL these black people calling the author of the blurb ridiculous and saying they had NO PROBLEMS with Angelina Jolie playing marianne! Hahaha! It was once again a HATER SETUP.)

ONCE AGAIN, right on cue — BECAUSE THEY RESIDE HERE, the HUVANE TROLLS for MANISTON as you can SEE…IMMEDIATELY pick up the old refrain, jump right in, and start HARPING on the ‘RACE’ issue. They know what their jobs are folks. They had their marching orders 6-7 months ago when the news was released that AJ had the role, then during filming, and they also have their instructions now fo now, and probably in the march up to Cannes.

Don’t you wonder why and how they manage to find our old regular bampzster haunts/threads which are sometimes 3 and 4 pages back?!

Isn’t it suspicious, how FAST they start railing away about the ‘INJUSTICE of it ALL’ (casting), when news items and good press about Angie in AMH get released?! Of course it is.

They do it SO QUICKLY because THEY MONITOR US for HUVANE & CO, and have TALKING POINTS, that’s why.

Think people! LOL They are gearing up. Only this time, it’s gonna get TRACKED right back to Huvane AND Aniston, and SHE is going to end up looking like one desperate fool.

The LAST thing that dummy sit-com hack should want, is her DELUSIONAL hater fans and the paid for online Huvane trolls, whining publicly about how Jen should have gotten the role of Pearl (ahahahahaha), and then conversely switching to undercover ‘black’ trolls to cry about the casting. (Believe me, the troll named ‘Iwon’tseemovie’ is about as black as Sissy Spacek). Maniston is just going to look even more sad and desperate if people start on cue whining about this movie being hers. Muahaha.

It’s like Alice from the Brady Brunch crying that she was robbed of the Meryl Streep role in Sophie’s Choice. It’s like Patricia Heaton crying over being robbed of the Hil Swank lead in Boys Don’t Cry. It’s like Tina Yothers being jealous of ScarJo. COME ON PEOPLE. Wake up. This is someone on the cast of an ensemble sit-com VS an OSCAR WINNING ACTRESS who started at the LEE STRASBERG INSTITUTE when she was 11!!

Plus, I think the backlash against the tabloids and haters over Angelina being demonized by them, will actually propel the legitimate media/press to slavish her with good press for her life, her work, and this movie.

The haters are actually doing her a favor.

Hahahahahaha!!

ITA. If I remember correctly, didn’t Anne Bancroft get roles in her husband’s Mel Brooks’ movies, too? Ditto Marsha Mason when she was married to playwright Neil Simon? What about Nancy Allen when she was married to director Brian de Palma? In fact, it is a common enough practice that it doesn’t really get commented on, or even if commented on, is accepted matter-of-factly. Only Angelina gets crucified everytime AMH is mentioned by the tabbies, that she is “sleeping with the producer”, or flirting with the producer, etc etc.

I will not be able to write mu here. Isabel is being remained in the house and I have attemped to make her to eat . she teaching to me to write better English. equally I have classrooms in the ESL, the mathematics and art. I thank to it all to it that not made the fun of my English, and congratulated me in my green card. I will be I stop back when Meesh (Isabel) she can go to work. thank you!

I agree with everything you said. I like the way you think - you’re a wise woman. :)

what,n i have not being aroud for a while,dodot mind the haters, the did it before,using fans name.i was on vaccation and did not use a computer in a while

Cliniqua your certifable! The way in which *you* stalk and carry on with your analysing and dissecting and 20 page posts, one could easliy surmise that *you* are paid by Jolie &co. and/or Jolie herself, considering what addicts and compulsive liars you both are. You are an addict just like Jolie and that’s why you defend her so. Jolie *has* made altruistic efforts, however, it’s always under the guise of deflecting bad press off of her which makes her intention even more disgusting because she’s doing it for that purpose only and proves how manipulative and calculating she is.

Do you see anyone anywhere ever posting 20 page posts every few minutes about how great Aniston is or *ANY* celebrity for that matter?? What are you doing with your life?! You are one sick puppy. Not too mention your long ass posts about Aniston!!! I can’t stand Aniston but there’s no such *twisted and sick* fan to disagree with who goes on and on about how they worship her like you do about Jolie - so, I and people feel compelled to disagree with you becaue your completely irrational, illogical and downright lie!!! You consistantly spin and gloss over the truth about Jolie. What are you doing?? You and other Loonies are such hypocrites!!! You condemn and demonize *ANYONE* who disagress with you about Jolie (of course you must be American) which is to say, you condemn people who don’t like Jolie, so then is it my right to condemn and demonize you when you demonize Aniston? Or is it because we simply disagree with you? (as I said American…) Get a life!!!

Cliniqua, do you personally know Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? ***Do you know them???* What in god’s name possesses you to spend your ((((life)))) defending people who are celebrities and who you don’t know? Do you see what a stalker you are?? OMFG!!!!

my opinion @ 04/20/2007 at 1:34 pm

Black is the absence of color. MP is brown, a mixture of colors including white.
Ergo, Angie can play the role of MP. Is the subject on this thread still about colors?

Did she paint her face wtih color and what color did she use? Blah, blah, blah.

What are you waiting until Cliniqua post so you can pounce on her?

please Says:

What are you doing on the __ thread? My point exactly, no brangelina fan can help themselves when it comes to bringing in the X. I have see you say so many times “move on”. Why can’t you?

haters will never stop talking,they should try and put their energy into something good, because negativity kills the soul.life is short to lie hate people you donot know.I am looking foward for the cannes film festival.

i hope jj can help so that the stealing of of peoples identity will be stopped

That is great advice, you should try it youself. I also see you being a nasty little ball of hate at times.

215- Inay - Thanks for the video

Do you have an Itay?

Hmmmmm says, your name sold you out.I only act when provoked.people like you are still around, get a life.dodot comment if you hate her as you say.

It is funny how when one poster post a remark, conspiracy or otherwise, immediately a rebuttal and the Looney label. However, you never read a post from these people protesting the nasty and racist comments made against the children. We are talking about adults here. I guess if Lainey and other bloggers can have their conspiracy theories, what is one more to the mix. AJ has proven to be more than capable of playing this role. She is a talented actress and Mrs. Pearl gave her approval. This subject has been debated numerous times. However, it is a moot point because the movie has been made and I am looking forward to seeing it. The internet is full of fake web sites, community groups and protestors. However, it is sad when mainstream media does not take the time to research fake tab stories, planted lies and misinformation. The fans at Just Jared do a better investigative job than some of these legitimate and seasoned reporters. Peace to all.

Wake up Says:

Posts like yours make me think cliniqua is more right than wrong. She makes some very astute points. I dont know if there are any paid huvane trolls, but I did wonder about how fast all these people started posting about race and how unfair it was that Angelina got this role.(conveniently soon after good reviews about her acting in it). Who knows? I was shocked to learn that Huvane reads these gossip blogs…him emailing Perez was a big eye opener for me.

also, all the vitriole spewed at cliniqua when she offers her opinions makes me also think she is hitting a nerve, she must be on to something or her posts wouldn’t be met with such anger.

by bampzs fans,peace to you all and peace and love to the jolie pitts
