Heavily pregnant actress Angelina Jolie is eager to land up a role in Sin City 2.

The Kung Fu Panda star revealed that she is fascinated by the fact that what is next on director Frank Miller’s mind for Sin City 2.

Frank Miller is also keen to cast the sexy actress and has even molded a character for her.

Angelina Jolie gave a hint of confirmation when she branded the director as “genius”.

“I’d be curious. I think he’s a genius.”

Brad Pitt’s present girlfriend Angelina Jolie will battle it out with Pitt’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston on big screen with their movies releasing on the same day.

Angelina Jolie’s new flick Changeling directed by Clint Eastwood will hit the screens on 24th October this year and Aniston’s romantic comedy ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ is also releasing on the same fateful day.

But trade gurus are cashing in on Aniston’s romantic comedy to make it big at the box office, as Jolie’s flick is a limited time release.

The Tomb Raider star’s film is way above Aniston’s film in terms of critical acclaim and her role in the movie as a kidnapped son’s mother is sure to make the way for her second Academy Award.

Angelina Jolie upset with drug den footage

The video shows the heavily pregnant actress in a NY drug den talking about drugs and her experiences them. Later in the video Angelina is seen admitting that she had killed her pets when she was a child.

Partner Brad Pitt was taken by surprise by the drug den video, as he did not know about its existence.

A source close to the couple said, “The timing couldn’t be worse, particularly as she’s here to talk about a kids’ film. We have known for a while that this video has been on the market and it seemed like the threat of it being released had gone away.”

“But the people who have put it out obviously decided that it would do Angie most damage when she was on show in Cannes. It’s not like she can just cancel everything, because she is contractually obliged to do PR for her new movies.”

“It is a part of her life she doesn’t want to be associated with. To be perfectly honest, the whole thing has brought back some pretty unpleasant memories.”

Well this footage can surely boost her movie Wanted where Angie is playing an assassin. Maybe the people will come out with a kiddy video when her next flick Wanted will be released.

New film reminds Jolie of her mother

Angelina Jolie’s new movie ‘The Exchange’ premiering at Cannes Film Festival reminds her of her late mother.

The movie shows Angelina playing a mother to child who is kidnapped.

At a press conference Angelina said, “It’s personal, but I lost my mother a few months before the film.”

“And to me, [my character Christine’s] very much like my mother. My mother was very passive in many ways, and very, very sweet. But when it came to her children, she was a lion. But as a woman — very shy, almost of her own voice.”

Angelina’s mother Marcheline Bertrand died last year in January because of ovarian cancer.

She added, “In many ways, Christine reminded me of my mom, and it was a way to kind of revisit my mother after passing and spend time with her. It was very nice, and in that way, very healing and interesting for me.”

Speaking about the movie Angie says, “To lose a child, I can’t imagine anything worse, especially not knowing the fate of that child.

“So much of it is being a mother and imagining if this was happening to me, my pain and my frustration.”

Jolie also feels honored to be working with a director like Clint Eastwood, “[It was] amazing,” said Jolie.

She also adds, “I was like anybody would be in this room. I was nervous the first day. He’s really just a great leader, just a great all-round leader. Not just because as a director he is decisive and clear and dedicated to getting the story out.

“But every single member of the crew he respects and gives them his time. Every single person feels valued. Everybody brings their best. I’ve never seen a director command so much respect.”

“Not because he’s Clint Eastwood, but because he is so gracious and connected to every single person. It was a pleasure, and I’m sure every single person on the crew would say the same.”

A Mighty Heart - a mighty disappointment!

Posted on July 2nd, 2007 in Angelina Jolie, Angelina Jolie Boxoffice Updates by Suzi

Angelina3249.jpgAngelina Jolie might have had great expectations from the movie ‘A Mighty Heart’ but the movie dropped 61% this weekend to an estimated $1.6M giving the movie just $7M in ten days. Even a $10 M target seems likely a report claims. Apparently, even the production was cheap, somewhere close to $16M but there are hardly any chances of recovering that it seems.

But Angie, though disappointed, has gotten over the failure. She has diverted all her attention in filming her new movie ‘Wanted’ where she is working with Morgan Freeman and the hunky James McAvoy from “The Last King of Scotland”.

Keeping aside Oscar dreams… Lets hope Angie delivers a hit this time… she so badly needs one to keep up that image of hers.

Angelina messes with the press!

Looks like Angelina Jolie has taken her celeb status and her popularity straight to her head. Or she thinks she was a born celebrity and people have to

come to terms with her instead of vice-versa.

She messed up real bad with the press at her new movie A Mighty Heart’s premier in New York, so much that they labelled her has ‘a mighty hypocrite’.

She tried to make reporters sign a contract stating that they would limit their questions to the movie only, and not venture anywhere near her personal life.

It all started when A Mighty Heart premiered in New York with an aim to support the organisation Reporters Without Borders, which not only seeks to

protect journos against persecution, but also works to combat censorship and laws that undermine freedom of the press.

It thus came as a bit of a surprise when Jolie’s attorney tried to make reporters covering the event sign pre-interview contracts limiting exactly what they

could and could not ask her. A Mighty Heart premiered in NY to support the organisation Reporters Without Borders

According to Roger Friedman, the Fox.com writer who covered the event, the contract stated that they “not ask Ms Jolie any questions regarding her

personal relationships, reports the Telegraph.

Adding that if the journalists dared to venture into this forbidden territory, they faced the risk of the actress terminating the interview.

“In the event the interviewer does ask Ms Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships, Ms Jolie will have the right to immediately terminate the

interview and leave,” the contract continued, he said.

Friedman, who then called Jolie ‘a mighty hypocrite’, added that the contract also stated that “the interview may only be used to promote the picture”, and

that it could not be used in connection with any other story or “used in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning, or derogatory to Ms Jolie.” Reporters

Without Borders seeks to protect journalists against persecution and to combat censorship and laws that undermine press freedom

The move however backfired when annoyed reporters not only refused to sign the contract, but also refused to cover the event, forcing Jolie to recall the

order.

Jeff Julliard, the editorial director of Reporters Without Borders in Paris, told Fox that he did not support Jolie’s attempts to gag the press.

“Paparazzi should be allowed to do their job,” Fox quoted him as saying.

Poor ‘Ms. Jolie’ ……………… you thought you can be a celebrity on your own terms, didnt you? Pity!
