Kiss Angelina Jolie At Your Own Risk, ‘Changeling’ Co-Star Learns
http://moviesblog.mtv.com…hangeling-co-star-learns/

August 28, 2008

On a cold day last December, an actor playing a part against Angelina Jolie leaned over and kissed her. The only trouble was, it wasn’t in the script.

“I try to be selective with my improvising,” said Jason Butler Harner, who is her co-star in Clint Eastwood’s upcoming “Changeling.” So he checked with the director first. “Clint approved,” he said. “He could see it happening and he said, ‘Do it and we’ll see what happens.’”

Jolie was supposed to be pushing Harner against a wall. It was the movie’s climatic scene, and her character, Christine Collins, was supposed to be confronting his character, Gordon Stewart Northcott, and asking him, “Did you kill my son?” (The film is based on a true story; in the 1920s, Collins’ son was abducted, and another boy was “returned” to her instead. When she insisted that the second boy was not her son, she was deemed hysterical, when actually it was a case of LAPD corruption).

“I had talked to her at the beginning of the day,” Harner said. “We had a big scene, and we’re supposed to be coming out of our corners, so it was a ‘How do we do this?’”

Nowhere in that talk did he mention he was planning to lay one on her, however. But Eastwood approved because he likes to shoot and use things that actors don’t expect - a scene they might well believe is just a rehearsal, for instance. So for the big climax being shot the last week of a 35-day shoot, he wanted Jolie to be caught off guard - and she was.

“She slapped me and she held me and she hit me and it was great,” Harner said. “She totally went with it. She’s really smart. She’s beautiful, but she’s really smart, and she’s a great actress.”

The scene takes place in Northcott’s prison cell on the eve of his execution.

“That guy invited the parents of the kids he killed to come the day before he was executed,” Harner said, “so he could tell them where the bodies were, or how he did it. But when they got there, he said, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ He was demented and deserved a lot of things [to be done to him]. Including a slap, at the very least.”

LMAO!! That’s so cool.. He’s brave for doing that. I totally know which part of the script this is. If you guys want a copy for the script, please reply with your email and I’ll send it to you.

#460: angel, it’s because the trolls aren’t awake yet. Don’t worry, there are lurkers around. Posters are probably busy with something else.

#454: guli, if Cnangeling ever gets nominated for an award, I bet that this kissing scene will the clip that they show. It seems as if this is one powerful scene that will grip the audience.

If the kissing scene wasn’t in the script, then the slap wouldn’t have been. I wonder if the guy expected that reaction. He probably thought she’d just back away horrified and emote from there.

Frankly, I think he just wants to see what’s it’s like to kiss those lips! LOL.

real tita–I know and ITA…but I cam just see Angie slapping him and then trying to beat the cr@p out of him..that’s our Angie :lol:

“only JJ loves brad. go to x17, dlisters, perez. bloggers hate them. it means they only have small fans. thats you people here in jj.hahaha. at least lurkers posting at this bloggers loves jen, find jen beautiful and classy. its only here in jj hates jen.its only the loonies. but jen has a lot of fans who symphatize her and fans that are class like her.”

Ouch on you, we get it “ja”…the key word in your post is “symphatize” which typical of JA supporters is misspelled but JP supporters thanks to JA supporters have learned how to interpret bad grammar, misspellings and diagnose illogic and zigzag extrapolative conclusions but it’s okay “ja”, “symphatize” all you want, because it tells everyone a lot more about you and is most revealing.
FYI MSN Encarta website definition:

1. feel or show sympathy: to share the feelings of somebody else or show pity or compassion for another
‘I can sympathize; the same thing happened to me.’

2. be of same opinion: to share the ideas or ideals of another person or group.

Synonyms: empathize, feel sorry for, commiserate, express sympathy, understand, identify, feel for, be supportive, pity”

Therefore, consequently and I’ll throw in subsequently to make my point…according to the “hard” definition of the word you chose to use to describe JA supporters of which you are the epitome of…you had “the same thing happen to” you and you are of the “same opinion” and “share the ideas or ideals” of JA.

However and moreover to make another point you really don’t have to “feel sorry for, commiserate, identify or pity” her…let’s all in unison quote JA herself Vanity Fair 2005
“Don’t feel sorry for me. You make my skin crawl“.…
it seems you are NOT appreciated by her so “ja” take her advice…afterall I’m sure you value everything that comes out of her mouth…at least she is succinct and very clear whereas you are not…as Orchid would say…”you’re so untidy.”…aka your posts needs cleaning up.

While I’m posting since I try to go through mod as little as possible…

Hi to Orchid, hope you don’t mind me using your phrase…it’s very funny knowing you and you know what I mean.

Dear Lylian, I emailed jared to give you my email address. Try to get into your jared email system so we can hopefully do some exchanges, catch up on unfinished discussions and then I won’t keep missing you with an approximate seventeen hour time zone difference. I look forward to connecting.

Greetings to aeon who encourages me to post more often despite my frustrations with moderation,

For vickifromtexas thoughts of “time will heal the immediate pain of loss, then come the joyous fond memories” are with your Mom, you & family through the grieving journey,

To the Champ…hope if any family in the DR they remain safe after Gustav.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Do you work for the tabloids? I don’t understand the question about the falling out angle? What exactly is your concern?

Good afternoon to all of the BAMPZSKV fans. I hope everyone is having a good day.

Don’t you just get tired of everyday hearing the same old sh*t? I mean the same old sh*t? “Brad looks old. He has wrinkles. He uses botox. JD is better looking. Angie should leave him. He wears a rug.” Where is the creativity?

I found this over on USA Today. I hope it hasn’t be posted here yet. If so please skip.

‘Burn’ cast indulges idiotic characters, questions

VENICE, Italy (AP) — George Clooney and Brad Pitt: Bachelor and family man. Inevitably, a news conference Wednesday promoting their new Coen brothers film, Burn After Reading, turned to the birth of Pitt’s twins with partner Angelina Jolie, and whether his good friend would ever settle down.

Clooney, 47, put on a look of mock bemusement.

“I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I have been asked that,” Clooney said. “I am getting married and having a child today.”

Pitt, whose brood has grown to six children with the birth of twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline last month, offered to share his children with Clooney, adding deadpan: “I’ll have two more by next year.”

The movie, which premieres Wednesday at the Venice Film Festival, is a tale about idiots — and what happens when their worlds collide.

Pitt, 44, looked flustered as a Spanish TV journalist pushed her way to the front of the press conference dressed in red gym shorts similar to garb he wears as a gym trainer in the film. She asked Pitt if he would help her work out.

“It’s a movie,” Pitt reminded her.

“Would you run after me?” she asked Clooney and Pitt.

“I think we’re more likely to be running away from you,” Clooney replied to laughter.

Several times Clooney good-naturedly ran interference for Pitt, who was peppered with questions about his personal life. Asked about the infants, Clooney intervened: “The twins are fine,” then joked that he and Pitt were sitting at opposite ends of the podium because of a restraining order.

And when another questioner asked if they would rather win an Oscar or fall in love with an Italian woman in Venice, Clooney warned: “Don’t answer that, Brad.”

Oscar winners embrace idiotic roles

The movie, set to premiere tonight at the Venice Film Festival, is a tale about idiots — and what happens when their worlds collide.

Pitt and McDormand are a pair of hapless gym employees who get in way over their heads when the memoirs of a failed CIA analyst (John Malkovich) fall into their hands and they try to peddle them as classified intelligence secrets. Clooney plays a hypochondriac philanderer having an affair with the CIA analyst’s disappointed wife, played by Tilda Swinton.

“Looking at the parts we are playing, I’m very concerned about what you think of us,” Clooney said at a news conference.

It’s Clooney’s third film with the Coen brothers — completing what he called “his trilogy of idiots” after O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty.

Pitt said he had waited a long time to work with the Coen brothers.

“Like George … I’m not sure if I should be flattered or insulted,” he said. “I’m still a bit unsure.”

Asked if the movie is a love letter from her husband, Joel Coen, McDormand quipped: “Have you seen the film? And you call that a love letter?”

To point: The movie’s opening shots are of McDormand’s Linda Litzke having her behind, belly and arms scrutinized by a plastic surgeon in her attempt to fend off middle age.

“We started writing the movie as kind of an exercise, thinking of what kind of parts these actors might play, what kind of story they might inhabit,” Ethan Coen told a news conference.

Burn Without Reading is set within a spy story for no other reason than “we hadn’t done one before,” Joel Coen told reporters.

McDormand’s and Pitt’s characters appear driven by a combination of naivete, greed and the kind of trite wisdom and oversimplified world view that can be gleaned from the self-help shelf of the corner bookstore and daytime television.

The film — part comedy, part satire of Washington’s government community — got a number of laughs during the press screening ahead of the gala opening Wednesday night.

At one point, Pitt’s Chad Feldheimer shows up for an extortion date chewing gum, wearing a bike helmet and calling himself “Mr. Black.”

The stars said there was no room for ad-libbing in the tightly written script, which weaves together overlapping stories.

“It’s really a funny script. I didn’t feel any need to wander off the script,” said Pitt. Of his iPod-loving, spandex-wearing character, he said: “He doesn’t consider any other possibility other than what he thinks will happen. I pretty much ran with that.”

Swinton plays an angry wife unable to shake her disappointment at being married to a failed spy and lush.

“There’s something really, really funny in terms of my character being so angry all the time,” Swinton said.

Clooney said the movie — though poking fun at the world of intelligence — has no political intent.

Speaking of politics, wouldn’t Clooney, who is planning a fundraiser for presidential candidate Barack Obama in Geneva next month, have preferred to be at the Democratic National Convention in Denver this week?

“I’m sort of happy to be here. It is one of my favorite places,” Clooney said. “The stars of the convention should be the people who are being elected.”

Burn Without Reading is playing out of competition for the Golden Lion, which will be awarded on the festival’s closing night Sept. 6.
