I wasn’t aware of Angelina doing night shoots. Oh wait… it’s a possibility that she’s not, so Papa can finalize some business if Mama is with the kids.

What a concept!

I see it’s time for a few quotes.

Angie on Brad:

-”He’s somebody I admire based on the way he lives his life. And that’s why I’m with him.”
-”We’re a big, crazy, happy, solid family.”
-”He’s my love, my dearest friend, and the father of my children.”
-”I met an amazing man.”
-”Brad is an amazing father.”
-”That’s why I’m so in love with him as a father.”

Brad on Angie:

-”Angie is the only woman in my focus.”
-”She’s an amazing mother.”
-”She’s my love, my partner, and the mother of my children.”
-”She’s been nothing but supportive.”
-”She should be put under glass. She’s a work of art.”

Hollywood’s Most Influential Infants

No. 1: Shiloh Jolie-Pitt

Age: 1 year

Parents: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

As the youngest child of the world’s prettiest power couple and the only one bearing their immaculate genes, Shiloh pulls her baby bounty and maintains her cache by keeping a relatively low profile. With a reported $4.1 million payday from People magazine for her first cover (the loot was donated to charity), she’s poised to become a bigger media maven than Mom.

oh goody. Brad is not the bestes daddy in the world like you all thought he was.

Of course Angie is gonna make kind comments he is the father of her children and she only has the duds to compare him to.

Just look at two dudes from her past Jon Voight and Billy Bob . Anyone would be better than those two. Poor Angie doesn’t know any better.

felinelily,i mean horse face/chin face,lets talk about brad angie,the family

Hey all TMSleeze has a video of Brad on his bike. Don’t know if you all saw this, excuse me if you did. Don’t read the comment section..haters are full of sh*t.

He was leaving around 1am, he was having a good time inside with that girl

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

How do you know it was 1 am?

Le parc Hotel&restaurant is just 4 miles away from Universal studios where Angie is filming. Brad must have come from visiting Angie and is just killing time with his friend/colleague while waiting for Angie to finish filming.

And if Brad is really fooling around, for sure he wont meet up girls in a hotel, coz he knows he is always followed by tipsters to the paps. Get it?

I hardly talk about her anyway.

You are too kind. They lack brains entirely, just have an empty cavity on top of their heads.

Eastwood brings his deft touch to a heart-wrenching drama

December 14, 2007

BURBANK - THE SIGN on the wall says, “Insolence will not be tolerated.”

But it’s not an indication that Clint Eastwood, former Mayor of Carmel, international movie star and Oscar-winning director, has let success go to his head. Rather, the sign is one of the authentic details that add verisimilitude to the set of, “The Changeling,” Eastwood’s latest movie, starring Angelina Jolie as a mother whose young son disappears.

When she gets the boy back, her objections that he is not really her son land her in a 1920s insane asylum. The script, by J. Michael Straczynski, is based on a true story. An army of cinema experts - writers, producers, set designers, carpenters, painters, costumers, makeup artists and technicians - have transformed one of the soundstages at Warner Bros. in Burbank into a frighteningly authentic replica of a place you would not want to spend an afternoon, let alone be exiled to for years.

“They didn’t look at people with mental illnesses in those days the same way we do now,” Eastwood said Tuesday during a break in filming.

Around him, a set for the asylum’s commissary was authentic to a T - right down to the ancient mechanical clock, the chipped paint on the furniture, the crude, frayed gowns worn by the inmates and the dented metal food trays piled with lumpy, gray oatmeal.

One actress playing the role of a mental patient, and whose face was made up with bloody, open sores, complained that the makeup department wouldn’t allow her to wash her hair.

Another actress wasn’t even that lucky. Her head had been partially shaved to make way for a cruel lobotomy scar.

And just out of camera range, cables snake everywhere, microphones on long poles follow the actresses as they turn their heads, artificial lights make the sun shine on cue, a focus puller measures the distance from lens to subject, and at least a dozen members of the crew look after other details. Amidst all the heart-wrenching make believe and technical complexity, and throughout a long afternoon of takes and retakes, Jolie remains professional and never misses a line - certainly a contradiction with the image created for her by the tabloids. Her makeup, hair, facial expressions and costume bespeak the ordeal her character is going through.

The day before, Jolie was filmed undergoing a brutal delousing procedure. Earlier, her involuntary arrival at the asylum was filmed in an artificial driving rain. At the center of it all, Eastwood directs with the self-confidence of the Hollywood legend he is, but without any of the self-centerdness that so often accompanies stardom.
“We have a great cast and a great crew,” he says when asked how the filming has been going.

While it’s obvious everyone on the set respects him and doesn’t want to make a misstep, the actors and crew also enjoy his easygoing nature.

“We are lucky, because people will even leave other jobs to work on this crew,” said one technician.

Without the cliches

When it’s time for a take to begin, a standard Hollywood clapboard is clapped in front of the camera, an associate director calls out, “Roll sound,” and then cues the extras on the set with the word, “Background.” And then Eastwood, avoiding the command usually associated with his job, quietly says, “Begin,” or, “Commence,” or, to Jolie, “Come ahead.”

As the actresses speak their lines - one scene shows how Jolie’s character is counseled by another mental hospital inmate not to try to convince the authorities she’s sane - Eastwood stands just to the side of the camera, listening to the dialogue on headphones and watching a small, handheld video monitor. A TV camera, feeding Eastwood’s monitor and others around the set, looks through the same lens as the camera creating the film that will become the theatrical version of “The Changeling.” When a take is finished, Eastwood usually says, “Stop,” or “That’s it,” but never, “Cut!” At the end of one scene, which includes a line about a cat, Eastwood ends the filming by meowing.

A mob of extras

With shooting wrapping up on “The Changeling” this week, Eastwood, 77, will have completed another arduous job of directing a major Hollywood film. In 2005, he directed two major releases, “Flags of Our Fathers,” and “Letters from Iwo Jima.” The current movie promises to be as big as those - and making it hasn’t been any easier.

One scene, filmed in October, involved 600 extras at Los Angeles City Hall. Another required taking over the San Bernardino train depot for three days.

“The station’s been preserved very well from the way it looked in the ’20s,” Eastwood said. “We had 300 extras at that one.”

As work on the movie shifts to the editing room and other phases of postproduction, much of the work of producers Rob Lorenz, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer is finished. But a major decision is yet to be made by them and the suits at
NBC Universal: When the film will be released.

“I haven’t the foggiest idea, and I don’t think anybody does,” Eastwood told The Pine Cone. “I think they’re going to look at it and see what they’ve got and make up their minds then.”

He hinted the release date could be in October - just in time for optimum exposure as a possible candidate for the 2008 Academy Awards.

Thanks for this.

I LOVE the part that says Angie is a professional and again points out how the tabloids are WRONG about her. :)

This movie seems to be another award worthy contender for the cast and crew.

I am really impressed by the amount of work Brad has committed to the MIR Project. He is doing so much administration, marketing, business development.

Congratulations and keep up the great work!

Lady G thanks for bringing that interview over. ;)

I have a bit more information about the Changeling. This is from J Michael Straczynski (script writer)

“In terms of Changeling…we have about two more weeks of shooting and that’ll be in the can. I’ve seen some assembled scenes, and it looks truly amazing. Everybody’s doing an outstanding job on this, and I think we’ve got a real winner on our hands.”

He might be somewhat bias (LOL), but I do love him saying “I think we’ve got a real winner on our hands.”

==========================================

You are more than welcome Janice and thanks for the tidbit you brought over. I can’t wait to see TC!
