Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie returned to New Orleans this weekend to mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Pitt was seen Friday touring homes in New Orleans’ devastated Lower 9th Ward, USMagazine.com reported.
Pitt appeared on NBC Nightly News Friday, recalling his initial reaction to the destruction.
“It was unfathomable. I mean, just — you had no idea that there were families and here,” Pitt said. “It was just wiped clean. Except for the occasional pile up of homes and — on top of homes.”
In 2007, Pitt help establish the Make It Right Project, which so far has built 34 “eco-friendly” homes in the area, with the goal of reaching 150 structures, USMagazine.com said.
‘The Good Wife’ star Archie Panjabi cemented her status as the year’s breakout television star with her surprise Emmy win in the Best Supporting Drama Actress category.
She beat out heavy hitters like her ‘Good Wife’ co-star Christine Baranski, ‘Mad Men’ nominees Elisabeth Moss and Christina Hendricks and TV veteran Sharon Gless.
“When I started in the business in England, just getting a job was a dream,” she said while accepting the trophy. “And to receive an Emmy now is just beyond my wildest dreams … Working on ‘The Good Wife’ for me is like a dream come true.”
She went on to thank “Angelina,” whom USA Today confirmed to be her ‘Mighty Heart’ co-star Angelina Jolie.
Panjabi won for playing the tough, mysterious investigator Kalinda on ‘The Good Wife’; it’s her first major American TV role. She’s best known for her roles in ‘East Is East’ and ‘Bend It Like Beckham.’
The ‘Salt’ star says her guilty pleasure is to eat red meat and that when she restricted her diet to not include any animal products, it had negative effects on her health.
She said: “I joke that a big juicy steak is my beauty secret. But seriously, I love red meat. I was a vegan for a long time, and it nearly killed me. I found I was not getting enough nutrition.”
The 35-year-old brunette beauty also admits she enjoys seeing her hands “grow older” as it is a sign of how much she has grown up and matured as a mother to six children – Maddox, nine, Pax, six, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – whom she raises with partner Brad Pitt.
She added: “Happiness is when I look down at my hands and they are washing a baby. I can sort of see my hands grow older and I love it.”
Christopher McQuarrie has been hired by GK Films to adapt the miniseries “Unforgiven,” likely as a star vehicle for Angelina Jolie, reports Deadline.
The original miniseries aired on ITV1 in 2009 and starred Suranne Jones as Ruth Slater, a convict responsible for a double homicide of two police officers who, upon her release from prison 15 years later, is targeted for revenge.
The title Unforgiven was previously used for Clint Eastwood’s 1992 Best Picture winner and it is likely that this project will find an alternate title (though the slight variation The Unforgiven had, before that, been used for a 1960 John Huston film).
McQuarrie, best known for his screenplays to The Usual Suspects and Valkyrie, also wrote and directed 2000′s The Way of the Gun. His next project (now complete, according to the article) is the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their six kids are reportedly househunting in Budapest, Hungary so the actress can make her directorial debut with a film about the war in Yugoslavia at the beginning of the 1990s.
Jolie spent the weekend (21-22Aug10) scouting for locations in the city with the couple’s two-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne, according to X17Online.com, and filming on the top secret project will begin in November (10) if plans go her way.
The hard hitting film reportedly focuses on a horrific sex crime amid the conflict when a Serbian soldier raped a Bosnian woman.
The website reports Jolie was inspired to shoot the story after visiting refugee camps in Bosnia earlier this year (10).
Parts of the hard-hitting movie will also be shot in Belgrade, Serbia.
Angelina Jolie enjoyed starring in action film “Salt” because it stopped her feeling “soft” after giving birth.
The actress was thrilled to get the chance to do her own stunts in the action movie – in which she plays a CIA agent trying to prove she is not a Russian spy – soon after giving birth to twins Knox and Vivienne in July 2008 because it toughened her up.
Angelina said: “It was difficult to switch to being an action hero for a minute. But it was so nice to have an excuse to get out of bed and get back in action and not feel so soft with the pregnancy and all that comes with it after.”
Although the 35-year-old star was happy to throw herself into the character of on-the-run Evelyn Salt she did occasionally have times when she felt like she should be back at home.
Angelina – who filmed car chases, fight scenes and torture sequences for the movie – added: “I did have a moment where I found myself thinking, ‘I am somebody’s mom, I don’t belong here.’ I was on the freeway with somebody chasing me and two weeks before I was at home feeding the babies. I felt like, ‘Oh, they’ve got the wrong person.’ ”
In addition to Knox and Vivienne, Angelina has four other children, Maddox, eight, Zahara, five, Pax, six, and Shiloh, four, with her partner Brad Pitt.
The screen beauty has also revealed shooting “Salt” reminded her of the first time she met Brad, on the set of action film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”
She said: “You know the great thing is he and I met during an action movie, so he’s kind of like, ‘Oh honey, you’re bruised again from a stunt.’ You know, it’s sweet, it’s reminiscent of the old days.”
After spending the spring shooting The Tourist in Venice, Italy, Angelina Jolie will go before the cameras this fall in another European locale: Sarajevo, Bosnia.
The as-yet untitled flick is a romance set against the 1992-1995 Bosnian War, Reuters reports; Jolie, 35, will play one half of a couple that meets just before the savage war begins.
“The film is a love story, not a political statement,” Jolie said in a statement issue by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for which the star is goodwill ambassador.
The mother of six made a surprise visit to the Eastern European nation on Saturday, meeting with various leaders there to discuss the plight of returning war refugees.
Jolie added that she wants the film’s cast to include actors of all ethnicities from the country formerly known as Yugoslavia.
“I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can,” she said.
No word on whether Jolie’s famous children or beau, Brad Pitt, will reside with her in Sarajevo during filming.
Although she’s been promoting her film Salt across the world, Jolie has been on a break from film work since Tourist wrapped; Pitt is currently filming Moneyball in Los Angeles.
A top official in Bosnia says Angelina Jolie is interested in supporting education and other projects to help young Bosnians and people who return to homes they left during the war.
Haris Silajdzic, chairman of Bosnia’s three-member Presidency, said after meeting the actress Sunday that she asked about ideas for projects she could support and they both concluded that “the absolute priority is education”.
The aim would be turn Sarajevo into a regional center of education, he said.
As UNHCR ambassador, Jolie visited Bosnia in April and drew attention to the plight of 117,000 people who haven’t able to return to their homes even though the Bosnia war ended 15 years ago.
Jolie was also inspecting filming locations as she plans to shoot a movie in Bosnia.
