She is set to direct the upcoming biopic Unreasonable Behaviour based on acclaimed British war photographer Sir Don McCullin.But Angelina Jolie had Hollywood ambitions far and away from her mind on Monday evening as she stopped by a Joann Fabrics store in Glendale, CA.The Academy Award-winning actress, 45, was joined by her daughter Vivienne Marcheline, 12, who gladly pushed their cart full of goods to the parking lot.Angelina looked understated, yet glamorous in a black duster coat that she layered over a neutral toned slip dress.The Girl, Interrupted star perused the store's seemingly endless aisles in a pair of slip-on designer loafers.Her hair was neatly parted down the middle and flowed down to her chest in straightened strands.Vivienne, whom Angelina welcomed with ex husband Brad Pitt in 2008, coordinated with her famous mom by throwing on a tee that matched her dress.The preteen opted for a more casual look overall by rocking some light denim jeans and a pair of black and white trainers.Vivienne's jaw-length golden hair was tied back into a perky ponytail as she helped Angelina load up their SUV with their Joann Fabrics haul.In order to adhere to COVID-19 protocols, the mother-daughter duo each rocked a face mask for the duration of their shopping trip. Along with Vivienne, Angelina also shares daughter Zahara Marley, 15, and sons Maddox Chivan, 19, Pax Thien, 16, John, 14, and Knox Léon, 12, with ex Brad Pitt.The estranged couple first met on the set of their film Mr. And Mrs. Smith in 2004, but did not go public with their romance until some time in 2005.At the time of their meeting, Brad was still married to then wife Jennifer Aniston, whom filed for divorce from the actor in March of 2005 following a brief separation.Brad and Angelina's nearly 11-year romance came to an end in 2016, just two years after tying the knot in 2014.The pair were not declared 'legally single' until 2019, but discussions regarding the finalization of their divorce is still ongoing. Most recently, Angelina's petition to remove Judge John W. Ouderkirk for 'overseeing their divorce proceedings' was denied by the Superior Court of California in Orange County, as per court documents obtained by People.The court deemed the actress' bid to remove Ouderkirk 'untimely' and the ruling noted that 'Ouderkirk properly disclosed his involvement with his law firm representing Pitt, 56, before he was assigned to the case.' Despite her ongoing legal battle with her 56-year-old ex partner, Angelina has remained focused on her children, philanthropy, and directorial pursuits.
It was revealed on Thursday that the daughter of Jon Voight would be working behind the camera on Unreasonable Behaviour, which is based off McCullin's autobiography of the same name.Don is best known for his harrowing photographs taken in Vietnam and Cambodia during the conflicts there, with the black-and-white snaps being published in The Observer and The Sunday Times.'I am humbled to have a chance to bring Don McCullin's life to film,' gushed Jolie of the opportunity. 'I was drawn to his unique combination of fearlessness and humanity - his absolute commitment to witnessing the truth of war, and his empathy and respect for those who suffer its consequences.'We hope to make a film that is as uncompromising as Don's photography, about the extraordinary people and events he witnessed, and the rise and fall of a unique era in journalism.'

L’échange, de Clint Eastwood : Le film qui a fait pleurer Angelina Jolie

- Written by Première
En incarnant une mère dont l’enfant est enlevé dans L'échange, rediffusé ce dimanche sur Arte, la star américaine réussit l'une des plus belles interprétations de sa carrière. En 2008, Angelina Jolie présentait L'Echange à la presse, un drame qui l'avait particulièrement émue à la lecture du scénario. N'arrêtant plus d'y penser, elle avait accepté l'offre de Clint Eastwood de tenir le rôle principal, celui d'une mère dont le fils disparaît et qui va se battre pour le retrouver. Même si le film a divisé les critiques à sa sortie, elle était visiblement fière d'avoir pu participer à ce projet dans lequel elle était particulièrement investie : "Si cela n'avait pas été une histoire vraie, personne n'aurait acheté ce scénario, les gens auraient dit : 'Ce n'est pas assez réaliste.' (...) C'est un script incroyable ! Au départ, je me répétais que je ne le ferais pas, et en même temps je voulais que tout le monde soit au courant de cette histoire, je n'arrivais pas à me l'enlever de la tête. En tant que mère, je ne pouvais pas m'arrêter de lire. A chaque fois que cette héroïne se relevait, je m'exclamais : 'Bravo, tu as réussi !', je me sentais très impliquée dans tout ce qu'elle vivait. A force de lire des histoires sur cette femme, je me suis sentie très proche d'elle. Je me sentais si mal, si désolée par tout ce qui lui arrivait."

Angelina Jolie is back on the back screen, as newly released images show the Hollywood star transformed into the Queen of Hearts.The actress, 45, is unrecognisable as the character made famous in Alice in Wonderland, for her part in major new family movie Come Away.The magical fairy tales Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland are merged into a new origin story directed by Brave's Brenda Champman and featuring an all-star cast. Angelina and David Oyelowo star as Rose and Jack Littleton, parents to Alice (Keir Chansa) and Peter (Jordan A. Nash), who would become Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan.The story focuses around the family's grief after the loss of their eldest child, with the two children trying to help their parents recover. After Alice and Peter sell a family heirloom in London, Alice hides in a rabbit hole. and Peter enters another magical realm and meets the Lost Boys.It's while down the rabbit hole, that Alice meets the Queen of Hearts, played by Angelina, who looks magnificent as the the character from Lewis Carroll's beloved stories.Wearing a white dress with a huge frilled collar and painted with a red heart, the actress' hair is styled into a heart-shape while she is seen holding the famous white rabbit. Brenda Chapman makes her live-action directorial debut on Come Away, eight years after directing the Disney Pixar animated adventure Brave. The trailer released earlier this month sets up the magical tale, with Rose telling her daughter Alice that, 'every child has a fairy born just for them,' revealing that, 'Tinker's Bell was born for you,' as she rings a tiny bell.
Alice is dismissive, though, stating, 'It's just a bell,' before we see Jack, who says that Alice, 'is in a hurry to grow up,' while Peter wants to 'explore new lands.' We then get our first look at Peter, who is playing an adventure game while Alice has a tea party with a stuffed rabbit.After they have come inside, Rose jokes,' Who are these dirty vagabonds and what have they done with my children?'Jack adds that this is, 'the untold story of a brother and sister, two kindred adventurers, our Alice and our Peter.'There is also a tense scene in their home when a brick is thrown through their window, as a voice screams, 'I told you to pay your debt!' as the children hold hands.We also get a glimpse at Michael Caine's Charlie, who says that his boss is, 'still the boss, while Peter gets introduced to the Lost Boys, who come tumbling out of a tree.The trailer also shows Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole, as she is seemingly sent away to a boarding school, where the nefarious Eleanor Morrow (Anna Chancelor) says, 'We'll make a lady of you yet.'We see in another scene, though, that Eleanor is also this story's version of the Red Queen, as Alice finds a familiar bottle that says, 'Drink me' as she pleads, 'Take me away from here.'We also get a glimpse at Clarke Peters as the Mad Hatter, as Rose adds, 'We can all use a little extra courage, now and then.'The trailer winds down with a number of random shots before Peter tells Alice, 'It's no time to grow up, it never is,' as he embraces his sister before running off.The final shots tease the arrival of Tinker Bell through the actual bell.Come Away had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Janaury with a scheduled release in the UK on December 18.The movie was actually filmed in 2018, with the all-star cast descending on locations in London and Windsor before filming concluded in Los Angeles. The film marks only the second movie role for Angelina in five years, following the success of last year's Maleficent sequel, Mistress of Evil.

The Reason Billy Bob Thornton And Angelina Jolie's Marriage Failed
- Details

Billy Bob Thornton waited until the year 2018 to talk about his perception of the reasons why his marriage to Angelina Jolie failed.Over the last several decades, there has been an entire industry created to make money off celebrity gossip. Ever since the first tabloid magazine rose to prominence, all of the biggest celebrities have been under the spotlight, especially when it comes to their love lives. With that in mind, it makes sense that people have forgotten about a lot of celebrity couples from the past.Given how many celebrity couples there are at any given moment, it is amazing that people care about some pairs that haven’t been together for many years. Despite that, there have been a select few short-lived celebrity couples that still fascinate people many years after they went their separate ways.Of all the celebrity couples from the past that people still bring up, it could easily be argued that the most interesting pair is Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton. After all, the pair had such a passionate bond during their short-lived marriage that it seemed like they would always be together or break up in some kind of spectacular way. Fortunately, many years after Jolie and Thornton broke up, they each gave their take on the reasons for the split. Interestingly, they blamed the split for very different reasons.As of the time of this writing, Billy Bob Thornton has tied the knot with six different women. Thankfully, it certainly seems like he may have finally found the one as he has been married to the same person since 2014 and none of his other marriages lasted that long.
Sadly, in the years since Billy Bob Thornton and his first wife Melissa Lee Gatlin got divorced in 1980, things have taken a tragic turn for the child they had together. After Thornton and Gatlin split, he had no relationship with their daughter. For that reason, Thornton wasn’t in the picture when a child his daughter was babysitting lost their life after suffering a fracture to their skull. Amazingly enough, even after Thornton’s daughter was sentenced to 20 years in prison for aggravated manslaughter, his only reaction was to put out a one-sentence statement. "Anytime a baby's life is lost is an unimaginable tragedy, and my heart goes out to the baby's family and loved ones." In addition to that tragic situation, another one of Billy Bob Thornton’s relationships resulted in some very harsh feelings when it suddenly fell apart. After meeting in 1997, Thornton and Laura Dern began dating and eventually got serious enough to get engaged. Together with Thornton for three years, both actors worked consistently during their relationship so when Dern left to make a film in the year 2000, she had no idea she would be abandoned. During an appearance on The Talk, Dern said; “I left our home to work on a movie, and while I was away, my boyfriend got married, and I’ve never heard from him again.”Talk about heartless.Over the years, Angelina Jolie’s love life has been the subject of many breathless headlines. For example, to this day many people continue to believe that Jolie stole Brad Pitt away from Jennifer Aniston and hold that against her. No matter how Pitt and Jolie became a couple, the fact remains that they were together for many years before they got married in 2014 and then divorced in 2019.In addition to marrying Billy Bob Thornton, who she met while they filmed Pushing Tin, and Brad Pitt, who she met while making Mr. & Mrs. Smith together, Angelina Jolie wed another co-star. Introduced to the actor Jonny Lee Miller when they made Hackers together, Jolie married him in 1996. After only 18 months of married life, Jolie and Miller separated and then got officially divorced in 1999.In addition to the men that Angelina Jolie has married, her other notable relationship also involves another former co-star. Introduced when they made a movie called Firefox together, Jolie and the model-actress Jenny Shimizu had a lengthy relationship in the mid-‘90s.In the years since Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton broke up, a lot has been said about how the two actors behaved in other relationships. Despite that, many people still pour over the timeline of Thornton and Jolie’s marriage all of these years later. With that in mind, it makes sense that during interviews, both actors have been asked about their former relationship and why it came to an end.
During a 2005 interview with Vanity Fair, Angeline Jolie addressed her divorce from Billy Bob Thornton and blamed it on a couple of things. First off, when Jolie was asked about rumors that Thornton had been unfaithful to her while on tour with the Billy Bob Thornton Band, Angelina said she didn’t think those stories were “untrue”. From there, she seemingly blamed their divorce on her decision to adopt a child and his unwillingness to be a father. “He wasn’t, uh, ready” for adopting a child “but, uh, he sent me his love. It’s kind of uh”—she fell silent—“tragic,”.For his part, Billy Bob Thornton waited until the year 2018 to talk about his perception of the reasons why his marriage to Angelina Jolie failed. While speaking to a representative of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association for the HFPA in Conversation podcast, Thornton said; “Angie is still a friend of mine and she's a great person”. Continuing to praise his ex-wife, Thornton went on to say; “ I remember our time together as really being great”. From there, Thornton explained his take on their divorce. "We just had different lifestyles. Hers is a global lifestyle and mine is an agoraphobic lifestyle. So, that's really—that's the only reason we're probably not still together, maybe, because of a different path in life we wanted to take."
