By The Sea | Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt (Nov 13)

Recommended Posts



New details from People - wow - maybe this is their Eyes Wide Shut.

 

Melanie Laurent will costar.

 

 

Here's where things get really interesting: The film, By the Sea, which has been described as "an intimate, character-driven" drama and was written by Jolie herself, is far from family-friendly. Pitt and Jolie play a married couple in the south of France who become sexually obsessed with their neighbors. (One of the neighbors is played by French actress Mélanie Laurent, who costarred with Pitt in 2009's Inglourious Basterds.)

This film seems to be so secretive.It looks like they aren't filming yet and if they are they have managed to do so away from the media.Also,a full cast hasn't been announced yet.

 

I have to say after reading People's report on what the film is about that this is Jolie's most exciting project in quite some time.It sounds like it could have shades of Kubrick,Polanski or Chabrol.Also,Christian Berger who has worked with Michael Haneke is the film's cinematographer so given that,the film's setting and the subject matter it sounds like Jolie may be going for a very European feel with this.

 

I hope we get some pics soon.

First stills / plot details.

 

Full write-up at EW:

 

Set in France during the mid-1970s, Jolie plays Vanessa, a former dancer, and Pitt is her husband Roland, an American writer. As they travel the country together, they seem to be growing apart, but when they linger in one quiet, seaside town they begin to draw close to some of its more vibrant inhabitants, such as a local bar/café-keeper (War Horse and A Prophet‘s Niels Arestrup, pictured below) and hotel owner (Richard Bohringer, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover.)

 

Universal Pictures will release the film, although no date has been set, and studio chairman Donna Langley said she signed on to make By the Sea after finding Jolie’s script so provocative. “I was struck by the fact that she and Brad are willing to bring such a brave endeavor to screen and take audiences on this raw, emotional journey that’s simultaneously of its moment and surprisingly timeless,” she said.

 

Pitt will be co-producing the film with Jolie, and among the film’s other crew will be editor Patricia Rommel (The Lives of Others); production designer Jon Hutman (Unbroken); and costume designer Ellen Mirojnick (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps). The executive producers are Chris Brigham (Inception), Holly Goline (Unbroken) and Michael Vieira (Unbroken).

 

Cinematographer Christian Berger, an Oscar nominee for Michael Haneke’s The White Ribbon, said he will be employing mostly natural light for By the Sea, using the Cine Reflect Lighting System he developed to channel existing light using a series of reflectors that create a warmer, less distracting environment. “It changes the method of working on set for the director and the actors, and in this film enhances the period and atmosphere,” he told EW.

I hope will be a great movie

Yeah she's almost always the best thing and I love that she's not above genre fare, but it seems like she should be doing better movies. She's way more talented than Brad but he does way better movies, it's odd.

Brad is a better actor than Angelina
