Angelina Jolie Archives

Angelina Jolie plays Mariane, widow of the Wall Street Journal reporter, who was murdered by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002 while researching a story on the links between “shoe bomber” Richard Reid and Islamic spiritual leader Sheikh Mubarak Gilani. Mariane was pregnant with their child (inset) when her husband was kidnapped.

Jolie said in a weekend statement that she was disappointed not to be filming in Pakistan, “a country I love and have visited three times.” But security concerns pushed the filming to the western Indian city of Pune, which was chosen because it resembles Karachi, Pakistan.

WOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!! Here is the very first movie still of Angelina Jolie in the role of Mariane Pearl in A Mighty Heart (2007). The film is shooting in Pune, India and is based on the 2003 book A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl, by Mariane Pearl. More pictures in the gallery of Mariane, Daniel, and son Adam Pearl. A big thanks to oldie!!

UPDATE :: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie donated $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation through the recently formed Jolie-Pitt Foundation. Brad and Angie released this statement: “On this day our thoughts go out to Danny’s family. The Daniel Pearl Foundation is celebrating this day, his birthday, with music festivals around the world. The festivals are a great reminder of not just Danny’s work as a journalist but of his life and his love of music.”

Here is the latest installment of pictures featuring Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and 5-year-old son Maddox getting mobbed yesterday when they ventured out of Le Meridien Hotel. The threesome was hounded by pesky photographers as they took a rickshaw ride through Pune, India. Looks like Brad got a little inner thigh action… Hubba, hubba!

Inset: Angelina instructs the rickshaw driver where to pedal. Check out more pictures in the gallery…

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (facing the camera in this TV screen capture) are in Pune, India shooting A Mighty Heart. (Their bodyguard Mickey pictured with them above.) The pair entered the Le Meridien hotel through the underground parking lot on Thursday. Brad and Angelina continued their cat-and-mouse game with the better of paparazzi and other photographers waiting outside the hotel to get the first photos of the couple in Pune.

Instead of stepping into vans at the hotel’s extrance — where photographers were gathered in anticipation — the stars stepped into an auto-rickshaw (inset) for a ride in the rain in the afternoon.

Angelina was dressed in a beige jacket, and Brad wore a pastel short-sleeved shirt. Both appeared relaxed. None of their three children — Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh — was with them. They returned to the hotel an hour later, in the auto-rickshaw, looking none the worse for wear. More pictures in the gallery!

The paparazzi in Pune are going wild! Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (both pictured above if you look closely) are indeed shacked up at Le Meridien hotel in Pune, India!!!!!!!
