Angelina Jolie knew that shooting "By the Sea" with Brad Pitt could potentially drown their marriage."It was our way of testing ourselves. We knew that if we could get through this, we'd come out even stronger and happier. And we did," Jolie, who wrote and directed the film, in which she and Pitt play a miserable husband and wife, told Britain's OK! magazine (via the Franchise Herald).She added, "We've always liked putting ourselves through challenges, even though it was maybe a little more dangerous for us as a couple. I don't think we want to go through it again though." But sources say Jolie and Pitt's marriage set sail long ago. According to a Hollywood Life insider, "Angie has some serious dark demons that have never entirely let go and it is still affecting her life and marriage. Her wild lifestyle when she was younger and her intense surgeries to avoid getting breast and ovarian cancer have taken a toll on her as a person and a life partner. Some of her issues force her to retreat into isolation and pull away from Brad and the kids. It is impossible to be entirely free from who she once was." Added the insider, "Angie tries to be a good mom and wife but it is difficult with her personal problems and she struggles. Brad was initially attracted to her dark side, but when she goes to this dark place she definitely pushes Brad away. It can be really hard on him. He feels he has been more than patient with Angie, but his confidence in their happiness is wearing thin." The pair's troubles apparently came to a head during their New Year's vacation in Thailand."Brad was hoping the whole family could bond, but that didn't work out either," a source recently told RadarOnline. "Despite a luxurious holiday that cost $1 million, Brad and Angie are worse off than ever. The vacation solidified the belief that their marriage is beyond repair. A divorce is definitely coming this year."

Celebrated paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey is assuring Kenyans that a movie based on his life played by Hollywood mega star Brad Pitt and produced and directed by his wife Angelina Jolie will be shot in Kenya and not in South Africa.“It is Kenya where my life has been and where the film has to be made,” Leakey's statement to media houses read. “I have no doubt that whilst the preliminary negotiations are still ongoing and that the storyline and financing are still being finalised, the intent is still to film in Kenya.”He continued, “The movie, with a working title of 'Africa' is to be based on my life and it is to be directed by Angelina Jolie. I wish to clarify that I have been in frequent contact with the agents and producers for the movie and I have received no indication that the movie will be moved to South Africa as alleged.”South Africa is a big competitor to Kenya for film locations. The country also offers tax rebates and low or no licensing for foreign filmmakers. It also allows filmmakers to use drones on location.In a past interview, Kenya Film Commission chairman Chris Foot said they are working at providing "an incentive package for international and domestic filmmakers" because if the film is shot in Kenya, it will play a huge role in “our film tourism which is vital to our economy in a great way”.

Phnom Penh, Feb 9 (Prensa Latina) Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Sen, qualified as very important the film about the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979) which is filmed in the country and directed by the American actress Angelina Jolie. According to what he wrote in his Facebook account, mentioned by media today, the prime minister also expressed the support for this production, which - he considered- helps to raise awareness of the struggles during the genocide experienced by this nation in those years.In that period millions of Cambodians died as war victims, mass murder, forced labor and starvation, Hun Sen recalled.Based on the book 'They killed my father first: a daughter of Cambodia remembers', by activist Loung Ung, the film is shot in stages of this territory in Southeast Asia, with the participation of local artists.Up to 3,000 people participate in this production, which includes shots in tourist sites such as the temples of Angkor Wat and Bayon.The film is co-produced by Jolie and Cambodian director Rithy Panh and according to previous reports, the shooting will end this month, while its distribution will be handled by the internet TV platform Netflix.The actress participated as president of the Honorary Committee of the International Film Festival of Cambodia, that took place from December 4 to 10 in this capital.Having also the Cambodian nationality since 2005 by royal decree, Jolie told the media in July 2015 that the film will help his adopted son Maddox to know more deeply his homeland.

Angelina Jolie, 40, debuts THREE new tattoos on her back as she continues to direct Khmer Rouge film in Cambodia

Angelina Jolie already has about a dozen tattoos on her body that she has been collecting since she was a teenager just getting her start in Hollywood.But the 40-year-old Oscar winner is far from done with inking herself up, which she proved over the weekend.On Sunday the wife of Brad Pitt debuted three more stamps as she was on the set of her new film, the war drama First They Killed My Father, in Cambodia.The star was overseeing scenes shot in the Angor Watt Temple complex in Cambodia. She has been directing the saga all winter.All three of the new marks are on her back, joining previous tattoos that say Know Your Rights, a traditional Thai tiger and Cambodian writings that have already been in place for years.The new markings seemed to be done this year as they have not been seen on the red carpet yet.One looks like a temple while the other looks like a series of symbols. They are believed to have been at the same time in January by Bangkok-based artist Ajarn Noo Kanpai. He also worked with Jolie in 2003 on her shoulder blade and in 2004 on her tiger. The artist uses an old method of inking by hand, not a machine.The third tattoo is a box with symbols in it, and rests in the center of her back.It is thought to be a Yant known as Paech chaluaek, which is a symbol of good deed. Chants are said to be performed after the tattoo is done so to help further the good deeds.This seems to go in line with Angelina's UN efforts to help refugees around the world.
According to Australia's Woman's Day, Brad also got a new tattoo when Jolie got her two markings from Kanpai.His was a line from a Bob Dylan song that read: 'We live, we die but I know I'll be with you.'The etching is believed to be a romantic note to his wife.The publication added that Kanpai used the same ink for both tattoos, to further bond the couple. In early December, Angelina showed off another new tattoo on her forearm when at the Cambodia Film Festival in Phnom Penh.With the ink clearly visible on the inside of her left arm, a new addition to her ever-growing collection of body art.Complete with a thin, intricate outline in black ink it is thought the tattoo is an homage to the thousands who lost their lives during the country's Khmer Rouge reign, as she is currently in the country working on a film about the atrocities.The ink appears to be in the style of the Southeast Asian sak yant style of tattooing, which is often constructed with lines of script, geometric patterns and animal shapes. While on set of First They Killed My Father on Sunday, the Salt star went braless as she wore a spaghetti strap black satin tank top made by Katie Holmes' old design company Holmes & Yang.The top did an excellent job of showing off her new markings. She paired it with a long black skirt.
The Vogue cover girl also wore a floppy cream colored hat to keep out the sun.First They Killed My Father is based on the 2000 book First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers.It's a non-fiction account written by Loung Ung, a Cambodian author and survivor of the Pol Pot regime. It is a personal tale of her experiences during the Khmer Rouge yearsJolie seems to be doing well after a difficult few years with her health.In May 2013 she announced she had a double mastectomy to prevent a cancer scare. Her mother Marcheline Bertrand died from cancer in 2007 at the age of 56 after a long battle with cancer.In March it was reported the Mrs And Mrs Smith star also had her ovaries removed.
