Film agency executives are negotiating to land the World War II drama Unbroken, which the A-list star is directing for Hollywood studio Universal Pictures.Given the still-high value of the Australian dollar, it is believed extra federal and state government support will be needed to compete against other locations being considered for filming.While reports that Brad Pitt will film the Disney movie 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea in Sydney have proven premature, Jolie's second movie as director is considered a strong chance to film in Australia after the collapse of filming plans in Hawaii.But the attraction of a studio water tank and jungle locations on the Gold Coast had one prominent producer saying Queensland is favourite to land the movie.But Screen NSW executives are believed to be discussing extra financial incentives with the studio. Previous deals attracted The Great Gatsby and The Wolverine to Sydney.A spokeswoman for Universal said the film-making team were currently scouting places to shoot scenes "but no decisions have been made and locations have not yet been confirmed".Jolie made a whirlwind visit to inspect possible locations in Sydney and the Gold Coast last week.Her second movie as director, after In The Land Of Blood And Honey, is based on Laura Hillenbrand's bestselling novel Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption.It centres on the true story of Olympic track star and war hero Louie Zamperini, who survived for 47 days without food or water when his airforce plane crashed in the Pacific in 1943. He endured shark attacks, aerial attacks and hunger before being captured by the Japanese and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.Oscar-winning film-makers Joel and Ethan Coen have rewritten the screenplay after earlier drafts by William Nicholson (Les Miserables) and Richard LaGravenese (Behind the Candelabra).Universal has scheduled the movie for American release on Christmas Day next year, with production scheduled to start late next month.“I've had the privilege of spending a great deal of time with Louie Zamperini, who is a hero of mine, and now — I proud to say — a dear friend,” Jolie said in a statement last month. “I am deeply honoured to be telling his extraordinary story, and I will do my absolute best to give him the film he deserves.”

Angelina Jolie: Planning to Have a New Baby, WITHOUT Brad?!

It sounds like Brad Pitt's attempts to win back Angelina Jolie haven't been working out like he'd hoped.Because, on top of stories that Angelina Jolie's been quietly seeing a mystery man, we're now seeing reports that Angelina Jolie is planning to have yet another child ... this time, with her new suitor. Even though it sounds like it's way too soon to have another kid, Star reports that Angelina Jolie is planning her next baby."Angie likes the idea of becoming a mom again."She is, of course, already a mother to six children.But anyone who's ever played a video game knows that each new start is a new fresh beginning to a familiar adventure.Having a series of children can't be too dissimilar from that."But after her marriage imploded, she didn’t know if she’d ever find someone with whom she’d want to have another child."That's understandable.It would be difficult to love again after a legendary romance like theirs.Like, Angelina and Brad were referenced as the epitome of passion by Blair Waldorf on the first season of Gossip Girl.Praise doesn't get much loftier than that."But Angie is serious about this guy."She must be, if she's considering having a kid with him. Her mystery man is reportedly an Oxford-educated philanthropist who is in his 50s and of Middle-Eastern descent.According to Star, things didn't start out too smoothly.Apparently the man "was married but estranged from his wife -- and she was refusing to grant him a divorce."Not the best circumstances for starting a relationship, right?"Angie wouldn’t even consider having a baby with him as long as his situation was unresolved, but now his wife has finally agreed to end the marriage, and Angie feels the timing is perfect."It's awful to think of people trapped for so long in an unwanted marriage, but that's why it's such a serious commitment that shouldn't be undertaken lightly.Though it's worth noting that Angelina and Brad haven't quite wrapped up their divorce proceedings.The alleged new baby would be the couple's biological child.Angelina, of course, had some of her eggs frozen years ago.She'd be using a surrogate.Still, every step of this could be very involved, but the insider addresses that:"Of course, they’ll want a top-of-the-line referral service, and the very best medical care and hospital facilities." That sounds super expensive -- and it will be.he fees and procedures could cost as much as $200,000, but money is obviously no object." In terms of Angelina's divorce from Brad, the insider also has things to say: "Everything is much more calm and civil."Apparently Angelina didn't want to move forward on this plan until things regarding Brad were calmer.You'll recall that Angelina and Brad split after Brad Pitt allegedly became physically abusive of their son Maddox during a flight.Which is, of course, about as serious an accusation as you can make.We still don't quite know all of the details. But whatever altercation occurred on that plane, it was enough for Angelina Jolie to report Brad Pitt for child abuse.(Which is, even if you're not sure, exactly the right thing to do when you suspect abuse, even if our justice system is nearly useless as protecting children). "Angie felt it was important for her and Brad to be in a better place before moving ahead." We don't know how convinced we are.In recent years, Angelina Jolie has tended to display exemplary judgment, whether we're talking about medical issues or global affairs or even just her personal life.Having a baby less than a year after splitting with Brad Pitt? That doesn't sound like her.A lot of it's plausible, but if this is true, we're worried about her mental state.

Angelina Jolie may be over 40, but she looks to be in the best shape of her life as she showed off last week during a shopping trip.The Oscar-winning beauty went bra-free in a silky black tank top that she paired with a long skirt as she took three of her six kids to a toy store in Los Angeles.During the happy outing, her 11-year-old daughter Shiloh showed off a skater hairstyle where the sides of her head were shaved.Also with the actress were her daughters Zahara, 12, and Vivienne, aged nine.Their father is Jolie's estranged husband Brad Pitt, 53.

The mother-of-six opted for a bit of bohemian style for the shopping spree, donning black gladiator sandals.The Vogue cover girl toted a Build-A-Bear Workshop bag and carried a coffee during the outing.Little Vivienne seemed to be holding the product of their visit to the popular stuffed animal store, as she clutched a teddy bear to her chest. Zahara also appeared to have a furry friend peeking out from the green bag she carried on her back.Meanwhile, Shiloh was chatting away with Angelina, all the while toting a massive cardboard box.The Maleficent alum and her family were accompanied by two bodyguards, as well as a woman who appeared to be a nanny.Angie and Brad had been locked in a dramatic custody battle after she filed for divorce in September.At the time, the Salt star sought full physical custody of all six children, but the Fight Club actor fought back.In December, court papers revealed the A-listers had come to a temporary agreement regarding the fate of their kids, granting Angelina custody while allowing her former flame to have 'therapeutic visitation.'In January, the movie stars agreed to keep the matters of their divorce private, following the World War Z alum's request to have custody documents sealed.Brad and Angelina were together for 12 years, after starring opposite each other in Mr & Mrs Smith.They tied the knot in 2014, but Jon Voight's daughter filed for divorce two years later 'for the health of the family.'

Single but not ready to mingle. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie aren’t looking for love with anyone new and we’ve got EXCLUSIVE details on why the exes aren’t joining the dating world anytime soon.Even though its been 10 months since Brad Pitt, 53, and Angelina Jolie, 42, shockingly split, neither of the stunners are looking to get back in the dating game. Between caring for their six kids as well as their own personal projects, there simply isn’t time for finding love again. “Angelina and Brad are both fully focused on the children, and really aren’t interested in getting into a relationship with anyone else at this time. Brad is also committed to his sobriety and exploring his new-found love of sculpture, so his mind isn’t in a dating space right now,” a source close to Angelina tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.“Their parents breakup has been a super difficult time for the kids, and Brad and Angelina want to make it as easy for them as possible, so they don’t want to introduce a third party into the mix,” our insider continues. The children still need to adjust to life being shuttled back and forth between their parents homes now that the former couple has worked out a custody arrangement. In the meantime, Angelina has kept the kids happy with regular trips to Disneyland for their birthdays, as well as taking them on adventurous trips abroad.“Plus, the breakup was tough on Brad and Angelina too, they are still processing what went wrong and dealing with their feelings. They seriously thought they would be together forever, that they were each other’s soulmates, and the split really shook them both to the core. They’re taking this time for reflection, self-analysis, and realign their priorities.” our source adds. Who wasn’t shocked when Hollywood’s golden couple called it quits? We thought they’d be together forever as well! Especially since they’d never really showed any signs of trouble leading up to their divorce bombshell.
