Angelina Jolie: I Want 13 or 14 Kids

Angelina Jolie: I Want 13 or 14 Kids

Angelina Jolie greets fans and signs autographs before a screening of her new movie A Mighty Heart at the French Institute in New York City on Thursday night.

Here are a a few excerpts from last night’s taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart:

When you walked the streets of Pakistan, do you wear a head cover? A burka? Can I, if I may? And I say this with all due respect, Can the burka contain your hotness? It’s not possible, is it? You are our most powerful weapon against extremism.” I did actually put on a burka to see what it was like. [laughs]

How are you doing? Are you exhausted? I’m great. I’ve got a crazy big happy family and I’m used to chaos, and I’m very, very lucky.

How high are we going? Where are you going to go [in terms of kids]? It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14. [laughs]

Wow. I’ll tell you this. I admire that, because two is kicking my ass! Yeah, I understand that. Four is kind of kicking our ass, but we kind of feel like, ‘Damn it, we’re up for the challenge!’ [laughs]

Yeah man, who are they? Little bastards, think they can beat us. They can’t beat us! We’re the adults! That’s right! [laughs]

PLAYDATE! And if the kids want to come, they can come. [laughs]

I didn’t have to sign [a contract] to interview, what’s all this [controversy]?: “I think people are always, unfortunately, looking for the most negative story. There was a memo that went out to ask people if they would sign it that said, don’t get into personal questions, focus on the movie and things like that. But it was not mandatory. I didn’t put it out there. It was from my representatives who were trying to be protective but it was excessive and I wouldn’t have to put it out there.”

Angie does not have publicist or agent but she has manager and assistance. Lawyer is must for everybody. These are known fact and you can read this in every articles. I think she is the only actress without publicist.

*******************************

I watched that on the other thread, and you know, I think that might not have been such a bad move on Angie’s part… letting a pappie see what it’s like from her perspective. Even he said it was quite eye-opening for him to have cameras pushed in his face and to be chased. HA! Also, he seemed to feel she was genuine in her inquiries about his side of it, and her thankfulness of their keeping their distance. Overall, a win-win for them both. He got a ride and a dose of his own medicine, and she got to face one of her chasers head on. I think this guy is now an Anige fan for life!

I loved both interviews.The age of Angelina!!!!!(awesome)Brad&Angelina!!!!!

I’m so sorry. Did someone force you to pay attention to Angelina? Perhaps if you were as well read as she is you’d know the difference between ignorance and well informed.

28 Luke
Can you read or do you just type? She AND her lawyer said HE wrote it to protect her. She didn’t know about it. You were never a fan of hers, be honest.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*sigh* That was probably the last we’ll see of the JPs for a while. Hasn’t it been lovely? I enjoyed both interviews last night. Wish the time had been reversed though. I’d love an hour with Angie and Jon.

As for Brad not sweating the small stuff anymore, AMEN to that! He seems positively relieved and elated with his life right now. Maybe one of the reasons he never got involved any deeper with global issues before was because he was too busy trying to keep his wife at the time together…X herself even used that phrase when she belatedly “thanked” him backstage at that awards show “thanks for keeping me togehter, dude”, or some such drivel as that. So glad he recognized what a hollow existence he would have with her if he stayed. Angie allows him to live up to his full potential as a man. The difference is more than obvious.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I love how much of a man he is with her. He was really disappearing with the X. He was becoming smaller and smaller under her thumb. If he had stayed he would have never been taken seriously, all glits and glamour and no substance. That would have been a shame because that is obviously not who he is or who he wanted to be. It had to be hard for him to watch everyone around him thrive (with family, humanitarian causes, with a worth while life) as he stayed still. But I’m glad he had the strength and courage to get up from under no matter what the cost. Funny thing at first he had to think that cost would be high, but the truth shined through and look at them now the royal couple of Hollywood, changing the responsibility of what being an A-lister means and setting the standard for everyone else.

I also love how soft she is with him. I can literally see the walls come tumbling down. She seems so happy with her life despite her recent lost. I don’t see the *ex symbol, I see a beautiful women, who loves life and all it has to offer. I see her just comfortable with herself because she know that she can be herself and he will still love her just as much as he did yesterday. He doesn’t need her to be anything that she doesn’t wan t to be. His love for her really reminds me of this line in the movie “Diary of a Mad Black Women” where the guy said to the women all you have to do is get up in the morning and I will take care of the rest.

Are we loving the golden honey color hair? or do we like the darker (natural?) that she sports in her regular private life.

I love the honey color. It goes with her skin.

ManX will not adopt ! She is a kid herself ! unarticulatre, unintelligent, superficial, teenyacting, juvenile, pittypartying as a 10 year old child.

She is a retarded adult. She will never have a kid cause she is not adult enough to feel motherly instincts…a little girl of 5 has more motherly instincts that she will ever have….I bet she didn’t like dolls when she was 5 years old !

US weekly is taking credit for the Phillipines Inquirer interview, saying that Angie spoke to them on the red carpet about the fact on her weight.

Summer turns serious
The season has traditionally been unreceptive to heavy fare, but the makers of the post-9/11 drama ‘A Mighty Heart’ are betting they’ll find an audience.

LA Times
June 15, 2007

Adult moviegoers may be craving a serious drama after overdosing on a steady diet of mindless sequels that has driven this year’s box-office sales.

But whether they’ll rush out to see a sobering, ripped-from-the-headlines story set in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks remains an open question for the distributor of next Friday’s release “A Mighty Heart.”

Paramount Vantage is taking a risk releasing its emotionally charged movie about slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl just as audiences are poised for another round of escapist fare that includes “Transformers” and sequels to “Fantastic Four” and “Die Hard.”

People haven’t exactly lined up for films with themes related to 9/11. They gave cool receptions to last year’s “United 93″ and “Reign Over Me,” about a man devastated by the loss of his family in the attacks. “World Trade Center,” released last summer by Vantage’s big-sister studio, Paramount Pictures, fared better but was not a runaway hit.

“Serious movies in the summer can be problematic,” said Jeff Blake, head of worldwide marketing and distribution for Sony Pictures, which has “Spider-Man 3″ in theaters. “People do seem to be in the mood for something lighter.”

Unlike “Spider-Man,” which cost nearly $300 million to produce, “A Mighty Heart” doesn’t have to be a blockbuster to turn a profit. It was made for just $16 million.

Executives at Paramount Vantage, the specialty label of the Melrose Avenue studio, are hoping the movie will be the perfect antidote to the fluff in the marketplace, banking on the counterprogramming strategy of serving up sophisticated fare to upscale, adult audiences when they are starved for something meaty.

“There are a lot of fast-food blockbusters out there and this is a powerful story,” Vantage President John Lesher said. “Our hope is that this is the first Oscar movie of the year.”

Typically, studios release what they consider their most promising Oscar contenders in the fall, when audiences are more receptive to sophisticated films. But “A Mighty Heart” could have been lost amid an onslaught of serious dramas this fall that include Vantage’s highly anticipated release “The Kite Runner,” based on the bestselling novel.

“There’s an advantage to being ahead of the pack,” said Lesher, who successfully bucked convention last year by releasing Al Gore’s global warming documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” over the Memorial Day weekend.

Another counterprogramming triumph was the 2005 summer drama “Crash,” which won the Oscar for best picture.

However, sometimes the strategy doesn’t work. That same summer, moviegoers largely overlooked “Cinderella Man,” which many considered a downer, and flocked to “Madagascar” and the latest “Star Wars” installment

“We’re cautiously optimistic about the idea of going in the summer,” Lesher said.

Lesher and his co-president, Nick Meyer, said they also wanted to capitalize on the strong buzz and reviews that the film and its star, Angelina Jolie, got at last month’s Cannes International Film Festival.

There has already been talk in Hollywood about a likely Oscar nomination for Jolie’s riveting portrayal of widow Mariane Pearl, the movie’s central character.

The film, directed by Michael Winterbottom and featuring Dan Futterman as Daniel Pearl, is based on Mariane Pearl’s memoir about the kidnapping and frantic, five-week search for her husband, who was abducted and murdered in January 2002 by extremists in Karachi, Pakistan, while chasing a story that linked foiled shoe bomber Richard Reid to Al Qaeda.

Despite the story’s post-Sept. 11 backdrop and a photo of the burning Twin Towers on the film’s website, Lesher insists that the movie is about Mariane Pearl’s strength and courage in dealing with the pain without “going to a place of hate.”

“I would not define it as a ‘9/11 movie,’ ” he said.

The story is told from the point of view of Mariane Pearl, herself a journalist, who was six months pregnant when she and an international cadre of friends, investigators and others, housed under the same roof in Karachi, united to search for her husband.

“This horrific event that was meant to destroy and separate people proved quite the opposite,” said Brad Pitt, whose passion for the project as its producer made the movie happen. “The quest for Danny brought together Muslims, a Jew, a Buddhist and Christians.” Pitt, who is Jolie’s boyfriend, also noted that the production itself was similar in that it had an international cast and crew.

It was Mariane Pearl’s depth of character that inspired Pitt to aggressively pursue the movie rights to her 2003 memoir, “A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl.” He was moved by having seen her first interview with CNN when the search for her husband was underway.

“There was something about her strength,” Pitt said. “She was a fighter and was not cut down by this.”

Another theme that Pitt said “rang loudly” for him was the Pearls’ commitment to “good journalism and an unbiased telling of the facts.”

Mariane Pearl was not available for comment, but others recall that she initially had no interest in selling the movie rights to her book. ICM’s Ron Bernstein, who brokers film-rights deals, recalled that he was originally instructed by his colleagues at the agency who were representing her to “do nothing” with regards to a movie sale.

But when Publishers Weekly ran a rave review of the memoir, Bernstein said, Hollywood came calling. Realizing a movie could be a lasting legacy for her husband, Pearl acquiesced and agreed to meet with producers.

It took only one meeting with Pitt to get Pearl’s blessing. Pitt recalled sitting on the back porch of his Los Angeles house with Pearl, drinking coffee and eating croissants as they discussed his vision for translating her book into a movie.

“We talked about the minefields of turning a real-life story into a film and traps we would watch for,” Pitt said. “It could so easily be sentimentalized.”

Pitt had first read the book in galley form when it was sent to his Plan B production company.

Warner Bros., where Plan B was then based, outbid rivals Paramount and Universal Pictures for the rights. But after bankrolling the development of the script and a location scout in Pakistan, Warner passed on making the movie.

Kevin McCormick, executive vice president of production at Warner, said that although the studio was “very aggressive in the beginning stages, frankly, for us they were moving at a much faster pace than we were.”

When Warner balked, Pitt called Brad Grey, his onetime partner in Plan B, who had to sell his stake in the company when he became chairman of Paramount. By then, Plan B had relocated to Paramount.

“Brad called me and said, ‘Warner Bros. is going to let it go,’ and I said, ‘Let’s do it,’ ” Grey said. “For us, when you add up this group of artists and this moving story at this price, it was a no-brainer.”

It would also turn out to be a no-brainer for Lesher, who had been Winterbottom’s agent before being hired to head Vantage in 2005. In May last year, in a key meeting in Namibia, the British director behind “The Road to Guantanamo” and the producers met with Pearl, Jolie and Pitt. “For three days, we talked through the book and script,” Winterbottom said. “I wanted to shape the film to match the book.”

Both he and Pitt were adamant that the movie should stay true to the real events and the people involved. Such persistence, Pitt said, came from “the responsibility I felt being the protector of the story.”

One of the most trying moments for the filmmakers came once the movie was in the can. “It’s always difficult whenever you show a film to people about their own life,” Winterbottom said, referring to Mariane Pearl and Daniel Pearl’s parents, who watched the movie on DVD.

Just before the film debuted at Cannes, Winterbottom’s producing partner, Andrew Eaton, flew to Paris and watched the film with Mariane Pearl. Pitt’s producing partner, Dede Gardner, hand-delivered a copy to Daniel’s parents, Ruth and Judea Pearl.

Although the Pearls, who live in Encino, declined a phone interview request, they responded to e-mailed questions. “We didn’t see it as a movie; for us it meant reliving the most painful period of our life. Our hope is that viewers will come away from ‘A Mighty Heart’ inspired to join us in fighting the hatred that took Danny’s life.”

‘A Mighty Heart’
Distributor: Paramount Vantage
Release date: June 22, 2007
Estimated cost: $16 million

Hey Jared do you take your own pictures? I just had this crazy thought that it would have been a major coup (sp?) if it would have been you who got to ride with Angie!!!!!!! Talk about blowing your site up!!!!!

If only……….*le sign*

LMAO @ the posters asking if the people that don’t like this trashy woman have lives and here the “lovers” sit and post over and over. It’s a shame you weren’t raised to respect people who actually are good people, instead you were raised to admire a low-life. Must be lonely at the bottom.

I can’t wait to see A Mighty Heart.My heart broke for the Pearl family when I heard about the kidnapping.I hope the movie does very well.

120 sheryll/sh3ll
