YOU ARE SOOO FUNNY!!! I love that reply.

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

Have you noticed Maddox has the same way of smiling and laughing like Angelina…

It’s tough to keep calm and have a normal day out although a mob of people around are taking pictures constantly… It’s really not easy -

Therefore my full admiration for Brad and Angelina doing their best to remain calm in crowd and distress caused by paps and people
1)to be able to lead a normal life as a citizen…
2)to transmit their calmness to the kids so that they don’t need to fear.
