Only when women and men work alongside each other as equals will the world see sustained improvement in conflict resolution and a reduction in sexual violence in conflict.”Jolie, 43, has been a vocal supporter of fighting against sexual violence in war since starting PSVI, and most recently spoke at a film festival put on by the initiative in London in Nov. 2018. Wessex was also in attendance.Jolie described the crime as “an urgent international issue,” adding that “changing attitudes and laws, and challenging stigma and impunity for sexual violence in all our societies is the work of generations. It’s all of you, it’s all of us together.”The festival featured 35 movies focusing on the discrimination and social stigma faced by survivors of warzone rape and other forms of sexual violence in conflict. The filmmakers came from 14 different countries including Syria, Burma, Russia and Nigeria.“I can only imagine the kind of difficulties that many of you have faced to get to this point in your lives,” Jolie said warmly to the filmmakers gathered at the British Film Institute.

Coming to theaters October 18, 2019,' a caption for the new post revealed. The UK release has no specific release date as the studio only said it would come out in the 'autumn.'Originally, the movie was supposed to be released on May 29, 2020. Angelina can be seen all dressed up as the villain in a poster that is mostly black in color.This comes after a new image of Michelle Pfeiffer from the movie was released in late January.Production began on the sequel to smash hit Maleficent in May 2018. Jolie reprises her role as did Maleficent with Elle Fanning as Sleeping Beauty. The movie was filmed at Pinewood Studios, near London and in locations around Britain, the world's largest movie studio said in statement.'It's bring your mom to work day on the Maleficent 2 set,' Fanning joked in an Instagram post that had been shared last year.Alongside the message, she posted a picture of her in front of a laughing Jolie, who was in the famous Maleficent horns, as well as a pair of sunglasses and a toweling bathrobe.Maleficent, a modern retelling of the life of Sleeping Beauty's arch-nemesis, cast an instant spell on audiences in 2014, debuting at the top of the North American box office and going on to gross more than $750 million worldwide.Joining Fanning and Jolie for the latest adventure are Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange).Disney also confirmed that acclaimed British stage and screen actor Robert Lindsay (Wimbledon) would be among the newcomers, while Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville return from the original movie.In the sequel, directed by Joachim Ronning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), Disney's most notorious villain continues to explore her complex relationship with Princess Aurora, the soon to be queen, as they form alliances against new adversaries.Fan reaction on social media was mostly positive, with much of the excitement being generated over the addition of screen legend Pfeiffer, 60, to the cast.Disney began scouring its back catalog in the 1990s for animated classics that it could turn into live-action remakes - a strategy that has so far netted several billion dollars.Tim Burton's Dumbo, Guy Ritchie's Aladdin and Jon Favreau's The Lion King are all examples.The Little Mermaid will see Lin-Manuel Miranda of Hamilton fame collaborating with legendary Disney composer Alan Menken.Two remakes of Peter Pan are in the works along with new versions of Fantasia, Pinocchio, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and The Sword in the Stone.Meanwhile, Jolie is still working out the terms of her divorce from Brad Pitt.The two split in September 2016 after a heated argument on a flight.The actress and humanitarian, 43, has Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 10.
