Angelina Jolie to Star and Direct in Bosnian War Movie

       

Angelina Jolie to Work on Bosnian War Love Story

Movie star Angelina Jolie announced in a surprise visit to Sarajevo that she is going to shoot a romantic film in the Balkans. She will reportedly both act in and direct the film.

The announcement was relayed by the UNCHR, the refugee agency of the United Nations, for whom the actress is serving as a goodwill ambassador.

“Upon leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina on Saturday, Angelina Jolie stated that she will be in the region working on a film this fall,” the agency said in statement.

The film is said to be a love story set during the Bosnian War during the mid-1990s. It is about “a couple who meet on the eve of the war and the effect the war has on their relationship,” the statement said.

Jolie emphasized that the movie will not have political undertones and that the cast would come from the different ethnic groups of the former Yugoslavia.

The star earlier urged Bosnian leaders to hasten the return of thousands of refugees of the civil war.

“I hope that there’ll soon be practical steps to improve these people’s lives,” the statement quotes Jolie as saying.

The surprise visit comes at the same time her spy film “Salt” is released in Europe, and four months after she and husband Brad Pitt visited the region.

She praised the plan of the Bosnian parliament in June to return all refugees in the country by 2014.

“The political leaders have shown a spirit of compromise in getting this far. Now it needs a little more urgency,” Jolie added.

Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie Run for the same Role in 'Barbarella' Remake!

Megan Fox

Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie ! Finally the two divas have to fight! No, not over a man, but over a role! Both actresses want the main role in 'Barbarella', the remake of a 1968 film. And the competition will be a tough one!

Angelina Jolie

"This will be the first time Ange and Megan have ever faced off for the same role. Ange is really feeling the pressure. Ange knows that to win roles she has to look youthful", a source declared for MSN in Canada.
Perhaps Angelina having another session of misunderstandings at home with husband Brad Pitt will make her look less appropriate for the role than Megan Fox who seems to have the public fully attention theses days. She will premiere her newest film Jennifer’s Body and she's hosting the 35th season premiere of Saturday Night Live.
"Megan is stunning and fast becoming a huge star. Angelina is petrified", one insider declared. But who knows!?

Real Name: 

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV

Born: 

3 July 1962

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV (born July 3, 1962), more commonly known as Tom Cruise, is an American actor and film producer.
He is tied with Tom Hanks as the only actors to have seven consecutive US$100 million plus blockbusters on his résumé, and Forbes magazine ranked him as the world's most powerful celebrity in 2006. He has been nominated for three Academy Awards and won three Golden Globe Awards.His first leading role was 1983's Risky Business. After that, he starred in many top films and became a Hollywood celebrity. Cruise is also known for his criticism of psychiatry, and for his support of Scientology, which has attracted controversy and media interest.
Born in Syracuse, New York, Cruise has German and Colonial English ancestry from his paternal great-grandparents, William Reibert and Charlotte Louise Voelker; and purportedly Welsh ancestry from his paternal great-great-grandfather, Dylan Henry Mapother, who emigrated from Flint, Wales to Louisville, Kentucky in 1850. His great-great-grandmother Mary Cruise married twice. Her first husband was Dillon Henry Mapother, by whom she had six children. She remarried after Dillon's death, to Thomas O'Mara. Their son Thomas O'Mara, enumerated as such in the 1880 Census, was later known as "Thomas Cruise Mapother". The reason(s) for him changing his name are not entirely clear. Thus, from his and his wife Anna Stewart Bateman, he has Irish and Colonial English ancestry, respectively. His maternal ancestry is half Irish and half German (including Alsatian). Anna Stewart Bateman's great-grandfather was a third cousin of President George Washington and descended seven times from King Jean de Brienne of Jerusalem, once from King Louis VIII of France, once from King Henry III of England, twice from King Edward I of England and three times from King Edward III of England.
When Cruise was twelve, his mother left his father, taking Cruise and his sister Lee Anne with her. Cities in which Tom lived included Ottawa, Ontario (where he attended Colonel By Secondary School), Louisville, Kentucky, Winnetka, Illinois and Wayne, New Jersey. In all, Cruise attended eight elementary schools and three high schools. He briefly attended a Franciscan seminary in Cincinnati and aspired to become a Catholic priest. He eventually graduated from Glen Ridge High School in New Jersey in 1980.
Cruise has said that he suffered from abuse as a child. He stated that when something went wrong, his father came down hard on him. He told Parade Magazine that his father was "a bully" and "a merchant of chaos." Cruise said he learned early on that his father was - and, by extension, some people were - not to be trusted: "I knew from being around my father that not everyone means me well." Having gone through fifteen schools in twelve years, Cruise, who dropped his father's name at age twelve, was also subject to bullying at school.
Cruise started acting after being sidelined from his high school's wrestling team due to a knee injury. While injured, he successfully auditioned for a lead role in his high school's production of Guys and Dolls and decided to become an actor after his success in the role. His cousin William Mapother is also an actor most known for playing Ethan Rom on Lost.
