Angelina Jolie's Directorial Debut Hits the Web, Trailer
We know she can act, but how good is Angelina Jolie behind the camera?
We're about to find out.
The trailer for In the Land of Blood and Honey, a Bosnian War drama that marks the Oscar-winning actress' first stint above the title as writer and director, premiered online today.
Jolie doesn't appear in Blood and Honey the film, which is the love story of a Serbian man and a Bosnian-Muslim woman during the mid-'90s conflict.But it's clearly also a passion project for the thesp, given her humanitarian work on behalf of war refugees and victims of atrocities.
Alas, given the sensitive nature of the tale—which early reports incorrectly described as being about a rape victim who falls for her attacker, sparking outrage—Bosnian officials initially denied Jolie a permit to shoot in the country. However, they later reversed course after the Mighty Heart star asked local women's groups not to judge the movie before they see it.
In the Land of Blood and Honey is set to unspool on Dec. 23, just in time to qualify for the Oscars.
What do you think, does Angie have a shot at an Academy Award? Give us your take in the comments section.

Angelina Jolie discusses her take on Cleopatra
Angelina Jolie has spoken out about her approach to playing Cleopatra in a big screen version of the Egyptian queen’s life.
Cleopatra has often been considered a legendary beauty – not least thanks to Elizabeth Taylor’s glamorous turn as the young queen in the Oscar-winning 1963 film.
But Jolie wants to approach the monarch from a different angle.
“She has been very misunderstood,” Jolie tells Stella Magazine. “I thought it was all about the glamour, but then I read about her and she was a very strong mother, she spoke five languages and she was a leader.
“My performance will never be as lovely as Elizabeth's. We are trying to get into a different truth about her as a pharaoh in history and not a sex symbol, because she really wasn't.
“Even this idea of her having many lovers - it was possible that it was only two. She is very interesting, but she wasn't a great beauty.”
The film will be based on the novel Queen Of the Nile: Cleopatra, A Life, and is due out in 2013. There is currently no director attached, though Jolie is keen on David Fincher.
Those who've seen Jolie in the flesh can attest that she herself is a "great beauty", so it'll be interesting to see how she plays that down as Cleopatra. Uglification, anyone?
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back for more Terminator
With his tenure as ‘Governator’ of California over, speculation has been rife over which project Arnie would choose to head back to the movies with.
Now, Deadline confirms that the 63-year-old is sticking with what he knows by returning to the franchise that first made him a household name.
Having signed on to resurrect his Terminator character, Schwarzenegger is now shopping the project around Tinseltown with director Justin Lin in search of studio backing.
Lin’s Fast Five opens this Friday and is expected to be a massive success. If that prophecy is fulfilled, you can bet a studio will jump at a new Terminator film within minutes.
As yet there’s no word on how Arnie and co intend on continuing the franchise, though presumably they’ll be dumping Terminator Salvation director McG’s plans for a trilogy.

Tom Cruise signs on to star in political thriller
Cruise has signed on to star as a hitherto squeaky clean politician who is caught having an affair, and returns to his hometown a broken man.
There, according to Deadline, he attempts to “lick his wounds, repair his relationships and confront his past”.
Even though the movie’s landed a big star like Cruise, a deal’s in place that means Cruise gets $2m off the bat, and a further $3m if (yeah, if) the movie gets made.
That "if" seems a moot point given Fogelman’s 'hot property' status at the moment. The writer also sold his Crazy, Stupid, Love script for $2.5m (it’s out this year starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone), while he’s got a story credit on Cars 2.
Next in the pipeline for Cruise is Rock Of Ages, the adaptation of the Broadway musical that’ll test out his actual pipes, while Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol opens 26 December.
Jason Statham set to star in noir thriller Parker
Jason Statham is set to take the title role in Parker, a noir thriller from Taylor Hackford.
The film will be adapted from Donald Westlake's series of novels, which has previously inspired films like Point Blank (and remake Payback) and The Outfit.
Parker is a career criminal who's not averse to killing when the need arises, but he does live by his own moral code which includes a Robin Hood-esque rule of only robbing from those who can afford it (he doesn't give to the poor though).
The character (never given a first name) featured in 24 of Westlake's novels, so this is another Statham vehicle that has franchise potential.
Some of the action man's recent action output has been a bit 'meh' (The Mechanic didn't set anyone's world on fire), so it'll be interesting to see what he does under the watch of a director like Hackford.
On this change of pace, Hackford says: "I don't want to get stuck in a genre. What I like the most about this piece of material is that you can take a genre piece like this and turn it into a great movie."
Hackford directed Jamie Foxx to an Oscar in Ray; will he tap into hitherto undiscovered depths in The Stath?
It'll certainly be an experience to see how Statham works with a more character-focused helmer, and at least we know he's got the unique gravelly tones for the noir voiceover.
Elizabeth Banks playing Hunger Games with Jennifer Lawrence
Gary Ross' adaptation of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games has added another key cast member in the form of Elizabeth Banks.
She'll play Effie Trinket, and she'll be escorting Katniss and Peeta (already-cast Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson) to the central city, Capitol, where the titular life-or-death games take place.
Banks is always a charming presence on screen, and it looks like she'll get to show off her ditzy naivety here as a 'flighty bureaucrat'.
Lionsgate has high hopes for the project, which has franchise-potential (the novel is the first in the trilogy) and is often optimistically dubbed 'the new Twilight'.
Banks joins Lawrence, Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth in the flick, and Entertainment Weekly are reporting that relative unknowns Dayo Okeinyi and Amadla Stenberg have bagged the roles of Thresh and Rue.
The Hunger Games was the first movie Lawrence signed up for post-Oscar nomination, which is enough of a reason to be quietly confident about it, but it's a shame that the Twilight comparisons continue to be dredged up.

Posted in: Movie NewsBrad Bird talks Mission Impossible 4 and 1906
In an interview to promote the Blu-ray release of The Incredibles (Region 1, sadly), Bird did answer a couple of questions about M:I 4, as well as his long-mooted San Francisco earthquake project, 1906.
When asked about the Ghost Protocol shoot, Bird offered: "It was a very challenging shoot. It’s a big film and we had to move around a lot. We were doing a lot of physical effects live — we weren’t using special effects. And so it was physically a real challenge.'
When it comes to the differences between animation and live-action, he said: "The wonderful thing about animation is you have absolute control over every frame. The nightmare of animation is that you have absolute control over every frame.
"Literally, you have to decide upon everything, and you don’t get anything for free. You can’t go to a location and simply say, “This looks good,” and shoot there.
"You have to discuss what kind of trees, is it a railyard, how wide are the tracks, are the tracks new or old? The amount of planning you have to do is just jaw-dropping."
"But there are pleasures to be had in both mediums. With live-action, you’re trying to catch little moments of lightning in a bottle. In animation you’re trying to do that too, but you’re doing it one volt at a time."
Bird also confirmed the Cruiser's crazy commitment to the skyscraper stunt ("He did dangle! That’s not a special effect."), and went on to say a little about real-life earthquake story 1906.
When asked if that would be his next project, he said: "I don’t know. It’s all about getting the story to work, and the canvas is so big on it that it’s easy to bust down its movie-sized walls and go rampaging throughout the countryside.
"The problem has always been scaling it and containing it in a movie-sized length. It’s really a movie that wants to be a miniseries. But if you did it as a miniseries, then you’d have to do it for the small screen, and the story demands to be told on a big screen.
"So we’re still working on it."
It's extremely appetite-whetting to hear that Bird has been keeping the action in M:I 4 very physical and real. Having made some of the finest animated movies of recent years (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Ratatouille), we can't wait to see what he can do with an action movie.
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, starring Cruise, Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner, is set to open on 16 December 2011, so hopefully we'll clap eyes on a trailer soon.
Posted in: Movie NewsTom Cruise in talks to star in sci-fi Oblivion
It's looking like Universal will be the studio to finance and distribute the hot property, though apparently that's dependent on Kosinski keeping the budget around $100 million.
Oblivion is based on a graphic novel (which in turn was based on an idea by Kosinski), and it got a great deal of interest from studios after Disney let the TRON: Legacy director shop it around.
The post-apocalyptic story sees Earth pretty much uninhabitable, with the majority of the population living in the clouds.
Cruise would play a soldier who services anti-alien droids on Earth, though the film is primarily a love story as it focuses on his relationship with a woman who crash-lands on the near-empty planet.
Promisingly, the script comes from The Departed Oscar-winner William Monahan, and it's currently getting a polish by Karl Gajdusek.
Next up for Cruise (who has wrapped on Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol) is musical Rock of Ages, then he's got a void in his schedule created by the collapse of Guillermo del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness.
Tom Hanks confirmed for Cloud Atlas
The film will be based on the award-winning novel by David Mitchell (not of Mitchell and Webb infamy), with an ambitious plot featuring six interconnected stories that take place over hundreds of years, beginning in the nineteenth century.
There's currently no confirmation as to who Hanks will be playing, but Adam Ewing seems the most likely contender.
Unusually, the film will be co-directed (and co-written) by Tom Twyker (Run Lola Run, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer) and the Matrix-creating Wachowski siblings.
Perhaps three directing heads were considered essential for such an epic tale, but let's hope it's not a case of too many cooks and the inevitable spoilt broth.
Cloud Atlas is set to begin shooting in September, so expect more casting announcements soon.
Sleeping Beauty update gets an atmospheric trailer
Offering more in the way of evocative imagery and ominous mood-setting than cold hard plot details, the modern update of the story stars Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) as university student Lucy.
It appears she's sucked into a high-class prostitution ring, where she's drugged into sedation for her clients in a quite radical deviation from the original story.
The official synopsis describes the Australian movie as follows:
"A haunting erotic fairy tale about Lucy, a student who drifts into prostitution and finds her niche as a woman who sleeps, drugged, in a ‘Sleeping Beauty chamber’ while men do to her what she can‘t remember the next morning."
The script was previously on the Black List of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood, and Alice in Wonderland star Mia Wasikowska was once attached to the lead role before she dropped out for Jane Eyre.
Sleeping Beauty also comes packing an impressive endorsement from filmmaker Jane Campion. Sample the trailer for yourself now:
Sleeping Beauty is set to be released later this year, and will screen at the Cannes Film Festival.
Posted in: Movie NewsMeg Ryan Heads Into The Beautiful
Not much is known about Cavedweller writer Anne Meredith’s latest script, except that it apparently focuses on a Big Chill-style reunion of old friends.
"I'm often drawn to pictures that make you laugh and cry," producer Wendy Finerman tells Variety. "I think this is the perfect project for Meg to bring to life. She's poignant and funny and heartfelt."
While Ryan will be behind the camera for the movie, there are apparently no plans for her to step in front of it – she and Finerman will start casting shortly, and the cameras will crank this September in New York state.
Ryan was last seen in comedy drama Serious Moonlight and is supposed to be starting work on Lives of the Saints with Kat Dennings, John Lithgow and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson this month.
