Angelina Jolie reportedly put down an $11,000 deposit for one of Ernest Hemingway's typewriters as a wedding present for Brad Pitt this summer.According to TMZ, the 39-year-old's agent initially got in touch with L.A. Police Commission President Steve Soboroff to purchase Tennessee Williams' typewriter.When the collector refused, the two-time Oscar winner decided to pay $250,000 for the 1926 Underwood Hemingway used to write For Whom the Bell Tolls.The American author - who committed suicide in 1961 - won both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Nobel Prize in Literature during his influential, illustrious career.However, after sending a check from Angelina's company Chivan Productions, the Maleficent star suddenly changed her mind and got her deposit back.But the Oscar-winning producer - who turns 51 next month - seemed to have liked whatever Jolie gifted him as he called their wedding 'an amazing day.' The A-listers known as 'Brangelina' tied the knot on August 23 at their French estate, the Château Miraval, at the urging of their six children - Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, and twins Knox & Vivienne, 6.'The children wrote vows and asked us to make promises to each other,' the thrice-married actress said in the December issue of Vanity Fair.'It was very sweet what they came up with. They did not expect us never to fight, but they made us promise to always say, "Sorry," if we do. So they said, "Do you?" And we said, "We do!"...It feels nice to be husband and wife.' In no time, the Hollywood power couple were back at work on the Malta set of their 1970s romance By the Sea, which Angelina wrote and is directing.'A few friends asked if we were crazy,' the three-time Golden Globe winner told the mag.'[A film about] a married couple going through some difficulties...and I’m directing him.' The 'intimate character-driven drama' focuses on a former dancer called Vanessa and her writer husband Roland traveling France together.'It's not a big movie, it's not an action movie,' the Kung Fu Panda actress told Extra in May.'It's the kind of movie we love but aren't often cast in. It's a very experimental, independent-type film where we get to be actors together and be really raw, open, try things.' By the Sea - due out next year - will also feature Brad's Inglourious Basterds co-star Mélanie Laurent.Jolie and Pitt haven't acted together since the 2005 assassin comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which grossed $478 million at the box office.The Counselor star can currently be seen as 'Wardaddy' in WWII flick Fury alongside Shia LaBeouf, Scott Eastwood, and Michael Peña.And the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador's second major directorial effort, a biopic on WWII POW Louis Zamperini called Unbroken, hits US theatres December 25.
