The 55-year-old worked with the Hollywood couple and their kids for 18 months and he revealed their biggest concern when it comes to their six children."The biggest concern for them was the kidnapping of the kids, it's all about money," he told Woman's Day."Angie and Brad are very worried about who goes near the children." During the interview, he also shared how it was working with high-profile celebrities like Pitt and Jolie. "Working with such high-profile celebrities was great," Billingham said."I learned a lot of lessons from them, they learned a lot from me and the beauty of working together was the mutual respect. They respected what I had to do and I respected what they had to do, and it worked fine and created a very professional understanding." He also shared the thing that really surprised him about A-list celebrities, including Pitt and Jolie. Billingham was impressed with their time management because they had time to do everything, from their family, to their work and charity engagements.Jolie and Pitt separated in 2016, and their custody battle is still ongoing.

Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life Director Details How the Experience Mad Him Stop Directing

Thanks to action films like Speed and Twister, director Jan de Bont was a major force in filmmaking back in the '90s, though his directing efforts concluded in 2003 with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life, which he recently explained was due to interference from studios over the endeavor. De Bont noted that, not only did his decisions with the film have to go through the studio and executives, but that figures from the video game world would also weigh in on what they thought would be best for a character, ultimately leading him to leave the studio system behind for decades."It was not such a great experience. But more from the reason how the studio tried to really interfere with it in a way. And the thing itself is that the makers of the game were also involved. And they never told me that they, also, have a say in the story," de Bont shared with Uproxx. "Suddenly there were all these changes that have taken, and who had to be what, and what cast. And then suddenly it became such a big scene. Everything was a big deal. And then the very first day of shooting, it was in Greece, on the Island. The very first day, we got a call, 'Oh, I want to congratulate you on your first day. And by the way, you have to cut $12 million out of your budget.' The very first day! And in those days, $12 million, that’s like four scenes." Few pop culture figures were as big in the '90s as Lara Croft, with her debut big-screen outing starring Angelina Jolie also being a major crossover event. Having previously delivered audiences original concepts and narratives, clearly de Bont wasn't interested in having to answer to a number of executives with his directing efforts. "Basically, you say, 'Wait a second, every movie’s going to be like this? Where the studio has a say in what will be done, what scenes have to be in, and even what kind of shirts somebody has to wear at one point?'" de Bont pointed out. "They didn’t like the buttons on one shirt! I still remember, I got a call, 'I didn’t like the buttons on the shirt.' I don’t even remember. What was the guy’s name? The male lead in that movie? Man, I forgot his name. But then, 'Wait a second. You’re calling me because you don’t like the buttons on the shirt?' That was so absurd. Really. And then also having to really constantly deal with budget issues." He continued, "There were films that I wanted to work on, and, unfortunately, they also did not get made. None of them got made. I said, 'Wait a second, is this too much work? This is too difficult.' Because I felt this wasn’t a traditional period, where studios were taking a much bigger part in the making of the movie. And it became… that’s not worth it. You know?" Stay tuned for details about Jan de Bont's potential upcoming projects.

Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight posts 'disturbing' video endorsing pro-Trump conspiracy theories

Hollywood actor and the father of Angelina Jolie, Jon Voight, has shared a video on social media promoting a pro-Trump conspiracy theory about the US election result.The 81-year-old, who is an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump, shared the video late on Tuesday where he called the election a sham and a lie because Joe Biden had won.Voight says that he is "disgusted with this lie that Biden has been chosen as if we don't all know the truth" and seemingly adding a threat to the people that celebrated Biden's being named as president-elect on Saturday. "There will be a price to pay. The ones who are jumping for joy now are jumping toward the horror they will be in for. I know the promises being made from the left to the American people will never come to be.\" He then goes on to reference the American civil war and Satan and calls members of the left 'evil' and has a desire to 'tear down this nation.' " My friends from all colors, races and religions, this is now our greatest fight since the civil war or the battle or righteousness versus Satan because these leftists are evil, corrupt and want to tear down this nation. We must not allow this. We must fight this corruption that has taken over and fight for the good that seems lost." Voight then goes on to talk about the voter fraud that the Trump administration has been touting, without any evidence, and for Trump supporters to put their faith in God." Let us give our trust to God and fight now for Trump's victory because we all know that this ballot count is corruption like they are so let us not back down. Let us fight this fight as if it is our last fight on Earth." He ends by quoting the great boxer and civil rights activist Muhammad Ali.
"As Muhammad Ali said 'it's not over until the last punch you have.'" It's unclear what Voight means when he is encouraging others to 'fight' but he did add a caption to the video reading 'we all know the truth.' Voight has been a passionate supporter of Trump for many years, previously calling Trump the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln. He has also said that 'racism was solved long ago' in a defence of the president and that efforts to impeachment the president were 'evil.' His daughter, Angelina Jolie has had a tumultuous relationship with her father but they have begun to make amends with each other in recent years and have found a common ground in the arts. That being said, the two have vastly different political ideologies. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter in 2017 she said:"We're finding a new relationship...We've had some difficulties, [but] through art we've been able to talk. It's the common language. We don't really talk politics well. We talk art very well." The Trump administration has so far refused to recognise the results of the election and that Biden is now the president-elect claiming that the Democrats committed voter fraud in the states that Biden successfully flipped. Despite this, Trump's team have thus far been unable to produce any evidence of fraud and have already had several legal cases dismissed.

365 days ago, one tabloid reported that Angelina Jolie had found love again. While working on Marvel’s The Eternals, she and a stuntman on the production started a romance. Gossip Cop busted the story at the time, but we’re looking back one year later to see if we got it right.Hope Springs Eternal(s).According to Woman’s Day, Jolie and stuntman Xavier Lake have “an undeniable spark between them.” Jolie “was taken aback by how handsome he is,’ and by his support of the #crewmatter movement, a push to get better compensation for stuntpeople involved in accidents. With the divorce still looming, Jolie was “unsure about starting something serious,” but was still “going with it and enjoying the smile Xavier is putting back on her face.” Lake appears with this person in multiple Instagram posts. We don’t know who this is, but they weren’t in Hackers. Gossip Cop feels comfortable saying this old rumor was completely false.Other Bogus Jolie Stories.Just a few months after this Lake story, the stunt man was forgotten by Woman’s Day when it reported that Jolie was dating Evan Rachel Wood. Wood and Jolie haven’t been spotted together since the 2009 SAG Awards The story was random and made-up. This tabloid also said Jolie and Michelle Pfeiffer were getting together, so the tabloid can’t maintain a consistent narrative from issue to issue.This tabloid also claimed Jolie was moving to London to keep the kids away from Brad Pitt. While the custody battle continues to roll along, Jolie cannot legally do that at all. Clearly, the sources this tabloid says it has near Jolie should not be trusted. There was never any legitimate evidence that Jolie and Lake were falling in love on the Eternals set.
