Angelina Jolie was ready for action as she threw herself into her directing role on the set of upcoming film Without Blood as the cast and crew filmed at night on the streets of Rome, Italy. The screen star, 47, who is taking a step back from acting and focusing on filmmaking, appeared in her element as she got into work mode, clad with headphones and a radio. She was joined by fellow actress Salma Hayek, 55, who was seen in full costume as she filmed scenes for the movie.Angelina wore a white smock dress in the Italian capital along with a pair of sandals and, at times, a mask in a bid to keep herself and others safe from coronavirus. She was seen chatting to members of the crew and was surrounded by filming equipment on set. Salma wore a black dress and had her hair styled in waves, with her tresses pinned down by silver clips. The pair were in good spirits as they chatted during a break from filming. Without Blood is based on the international-bestselling novel of the same name by Italian writer Alessandro Baricco - with Angelina set to write, direct and produce it. While the detailed plot of the film has not been revealed, the book focuses on the brutality of war, and a young girl's search for healing after an act of violence occurs. Mexican actor Demián Bichir is also set to star in the film alongside Salma. Speaking after the film was announced, Angelina said: 'I'm honoured to be here in Italy to bring this very special material to film, and to have been entrusted by Alessandro Baricco with the adaptation of his book — with its unique poetry and emotion and way of looking at war, and the questions it poses about what we search for after trauma or loss or injustice.' Jennifer Mullin, Global CEO at Freemantle, added: 'We are excited to work with [Angelina] and the incredible international team she has assembled. 'This project underlines Fremantle's ongoing commitment to producing high-quality feature films and original dramas working with the very best talent from across the globe.' In February 2017, Angelina was said to be developing Without Blood with a view to direct.
