Brad & Angelina Pick Up Maddox

Joel Siegel’s Summer Movie Preview
Sequels Rule the Summer Movie Landscape

….But three’s the number they like best. “Rush Hour 3.” Finally. “Bourne 3,” with Matt Damon. And “Ocean’s 13,” with more Matt Damon. They started at “Ocean’s 11″ so it’s really Ocean’s 3. In “Ocean’s 14,” Brad Pitt adopts George Clooney. (LOL!!!!!!!)

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Abigail Breslin star in “No Reservations.” Angelina Jolie, the word is she’s terrific as Mrs. Daniel Pearl in “A Mighty Heart.”

Hi People-In case you haven’t read this here’s a great article-
Shi was a planned pregnancy! A lot of the “old timers” came to that conclusion a long time ago

=======================
you’re a little late there, sparky.

Oh sorry-I have been soo busy-Thanks

Angelina will be in chicago for a week, 10 days top on the last 2 weeks of July.

Hey Malibumom,
nice to see you here! Hope you’re doing well.
Oh, we did read the reader’s digest interview, loved it too,
it was wonderful.

Okey, i just watching the “Insider” TV show and they interviewed Janice Min and the interviewer ask Janice Min who were the next celebrity couple to divorce? and Janice Min told that… “Although Brad and Angie were not marry but a lot of people are predicting their demise because they are too controversial and too good to be true; but she (Janice Min) told the interviewer that SHE DON’T SEE A SPLIT FROM BRAD & ANGIE IN THE HORIZON!!

This Janice Min is a PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE ATTACKER; because if she doesn’t see a split from Brad & Angie in the horizon… why they keep attacking them??, because Janice Min is SICK & TWISTED!!

#192, KK1….fantastic post. Perfectly written. Thanks…

Brad would hit the road if it weren’t for Shiloh!

____________

Er, news bulletin: Brad can hit the road at any time….

…so can Angie.

Guess what?

They don’t.

It’s called TRUE LOVE.I know you fans of Maniston are unfamiliar with the whole premise, but you might want to read up on it.

Unlike Maniston, who had him legally hog tied for a year and a half while he waited for her to legally officially separate, waited for her to file for divorce, and fought with her lawyers and tangled over what she and her legal team thought were her entitlements to Plan B, not to mention legal properties….

Brad has NO such legal binds with Angelina, which is how she wants it…..

….if he wants to walk away tomorrow (or if she does) they CAN - free and clear, they also both respect each other and value one another as parents, so custody wouldn’t be a problem either.

…..Unlike with Maniston, there will be no waiting til jointly produced films are released, hyped and promoted, no legal divvying up of film projects, no lawsuits, no producing partner friends that Brad is carrying on his ‘movie star’ back (waves to Kristin Hahn who stupidly smeared Brad in Vanity Fair, then got fired by him - BAHAHAHA!)…

….NADA…Brad and Angelina only have THEIR AMAZING LOVE for each other binding them together…..

Which of course is ALL THEY NEED, and the strongest bind of all, when it’s REAL…

*(and not a REBOUND like Maniston…muahahaha)…

…in other words, they are forever beeyatches.

Suck on it. :-)

Interesting production notes on A Mighty Heart from Rotten Tomatoes.com. Very lengthy article, so I’ll provide some highlights. Check out their website for the rest.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

“Brad’s interest in the book was inspired by Mariane’s tremendous courage, and the generosity with which she shares her story,” said producer Dede Gardner, Producer at Plan B. “The process with Mariane from the beginning was driven by mutual respect. We were very conscious that a movie without her input and approval wouldn’t be worth making.” Pearl’s feedback was sought on the screenplay and on potential directors. “We sent her films to watch and had many discussions about the qualities that we all felt were crucial to our choice of director,” said Gardner.

A Michael Winterbottom fan since WELCOME TO SARAJEVO, Gardner gave the prolific director Mariane Pearl’s book at a London meeting in 2004.

By early 2006, he had completed two more films, including THE ROAD TO GUANTANAMO (which also filmed in Pakistan, as well as Afghanistan, Iran, Cuba and Britain). That film convinced Pitt that Winterbottom should direct A MIGHTY HEART.

“Brad called and we talked about the book and his ideas about how the film should be,” said Winterbottom. “Then I went to Paris to meet Mariane, and finally, in May, Andrew, Mariane, Dede and I went down to Namibia to meet up with Brad and Angie. That was the first time I met Angelina and it was great to see her with Mariane. They were very close and very similar - straight-forward and easy to deal with. Our conversations were practical. We talked about what should and shouldn’t be in the film.”

Still, she did worry about taking on A MIGHTY HEART. “Mariane has suffered the ugliest side of all that is going on in the world today and came out of it believing we cannot just be angry and blinded by hate, but must continue to have a dialogue,” said Jolie. “If I don’t represent her right, and people don’t see what a beautiful, strong, open-minded, loving woman she is, then I’ve done a disservice and hurt a really great woman.”

Pearl wasn’t worried. “I am delighted that Angelina Jolie is playing my role in the adaptation of my book,” she said. “I deeply admire her work and what she is committed to. I am also happy that Michael Winterbottom, a versatile and talented director who genuinely loves truth, is working on this project.”

Winterbottom used Mariane Pearl’s book as his bible in structuring the film. “We started by following her descriptions of events,” said Winterbottom. “Then I tried to meet with everyone who was with her at the time - Asra, Captain, Randall Bennett and his deputy Zahoor, Dost, John Bussey, Steve LeVine, Asif (Danny’s translator and fixer in Islamabad) and Jameel Yusuf of the Citizens Police Liaison Committee (CPLC). Each meeting added extra details to the story.”

Filming in all locations proceeded in typical Winterbottom style: director of photography Marcel Zyskind, who has worked on seven films with Winterbottom, operated a hand-held DV camera. There were no rehearsals, and no master shots or attendant series of close-ups. Most takes ran the full length of a scene, and scenes were shot in sequence. Winterbottom didn’t call “action” or tell anyone where the camera would be. That was decided in the moment, sometimes with Winterbottom gripping the back of Zyskind’s shirt to steer him. Natural light was used whenever possible to allow actors and camera freedom of movement.

“Michael creates an environment which feels as little like a movie set as possible,” said Futterman. “He’s looking, I think, for those surprising and unscripted moments of authenticity.”

Winterbottom asked the actors to treat the script’s dialogue as a starting point and improvise as much as possible. “They have spent time with the real characters, so they have heard how they talk. They know details of their personal stories and their points of view on these events,” he said. “We try to shoot the whole scene as it would naturally happen, and we shoot the entire scene on each take to allow a natural rhythm to develop. The scene can then change and evolve with each performance.”

It paid off. “It felt like we were really in these moments together, and shooting the scenes in order made it much more real for us,” said Jolie.

Jolie’s transformation added another layer of authenticity, and put American actor Gary Wilmes in the right mood on his first day as reporter Steve LeVine. “I hadn’t met Angelina yet, so I walked into Asra’s house for the first time as Steve did in real life,” he recalled. “I had never seen her without the wig, and felt much more that I was with Mariane than with Angelina.”

Before coming to India, the production visited the south of France for scenes including Danny and Mariane’s wedding, at Chateau de Valmousse in Lambesc. Futterman had already filmed in Pakistan, but the wedding day was Jolie’s first on set.

“The way Michael shoots, I had no rehearsal,” said Jolie. “I was in my room getting ready and they said, ‘Okay, come down the stairs.’ So that was it. I walked into the wedding and we said our vows. I had looked at Danny’s and Mariane’s wedding footage just before, and it made me terribly sad. It was such a happy moment for her, so beautiful. They loved each other so much, those two, and you can see it in the wedding. It was hard not to cry.”

The day after the wedding sequence, Jolie was filmed on the street in Marseilles, portraying Mariane after she has left Karachi to await her son’s birth. “She was walking down the street heavily pregnant, in a long gray skirt, carrying two shopping bags,” Walter recalled. “People walked past her, and bumped into her, and nobody recognized her. It was quite amazing.”

It felt right behind the camera, too, where Winterbottom’s long-standing team worked alongside Indian and Pakistani crew members. “What was really great was that Dede and Plan B, and especially Angie, were so relaxed and friendly, that all these people with completely different experiences just got on with it,” said Winterbottom.

Jolie understood the potential for risk, and for reward. “We talked about the risks before we started filming, the security concerns and what it would mean politically if we got it wrong. We could anger more people and make it worse,” she said. “But if by some small chance we get it right, maybe we can do a little something towards bringing people back together, or at least looking at each other in another light.”
