      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.

         Angelina Jolie‘s upcoming movie, Come Away, is breaking a lot of boundaries as it’s a flick based on fairytales that historically have white-only leads.However, the new movie, which imagines Peter Pan and Alice (of Wonderland) as siblings, and are part of a multi-racial family. Angelina and David Oyelowo star as their parents.Brenda Chapman, known for directing Pixar’s Brave, is putting critics and review bombers on blast for the negative words they have left about the flick without even seeing it.“It just made me sad, like so much of our society these days, the last four years,” she told IndieWire during a recent interview. “It just makes me sad that we haven’t risen above all this.”Brenda added, “People are people and we all have our hopes and dreams and disappointments, and to have someone just purposely go out because they’re racial bigots to destroy something, it’s just hateful and it just makes me sad.”She also pointed out that when they were first casting the project, her eyes did skim by David‘s name because of the historically white context. But then, she had the opportunity to do something not a lot of others have done and cast color blindly.“I was disappointed, oh, it’s too bad, I’d love to work with him, and I moved on and then I sort of went back to his name like, wait a minute, why not?,” Brenda said. “And then, going through the story in my mind, it was like, I don’t need to change anything. It would open up the story so much more.” She added, “I didn’t choose David for political reasons, I chose him because I thought he was the best person to play Jack, because he’s got such a warmth and a presence on screen that it just felt like I looked at the story and I thought this would just add so much depth to it. It was an artistic choice.” Come Away just got an official premiere date and a whimsical and heartbreaking new trailer.

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

Written by Comic Book

            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.
