It looks like there are now two Angelina Jolie Oscar campaigns we have to think about. There’s her WWII survivor story "Unbroken" coming in December, but the actress/director/screenwriter is already at work on her next movie "By The Sea," co-starring new husband Brad Pitt. And after only a week of shooting, the first images have arrived. And even more, there are some plot details as well. Here’s the synopsis via 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.)
"I chose to set ‘By the Sea’ in the 1970s, not only because it is a colorful and alluring era, but because it removes many of the distractions of contemporary life and allows the focus to remain squarely on the emotions that the characters experience in their journey,” Jolie explained to the magazine about her approach to the story.
So gorgeous people, in a gorgeous setting, gorgeously exploring their feelings? No confirmed release date yet, but it’s probably a safe bet "By The Sea" will arrive next year in time for awards consideration.
@Alex Dupont Bravo, well said!
Pretentious… She\’s trying to look like british actress Kiera Knightly.
The best decision Jolie ever took: retire from acting / directing / existing publicly. We are soooo tired of her and I bet she is also tired of faking everything all the time. A new film: she is directing, she is acting , she is telling Bra Pitt what to do, how to do it:)! I wonder: does she comprehend Emily Dickinson? Does she get the depths, dark and sweet, the deadly serenity of Dickinson? Dickinson and sex, really? Dickinson and men or lust? Well, Jolie dearest, read some more, go to university…your kids may ask you one day what did you accomplish in life, FOR REAL? I am tired by her hypocrisy. I am sure that, if she retires from Hollywood, also Pitt MUST do the same, otherwise their faked symmetry will be broken. I feel sorry for Pitt. Great actor. Great man. Poor taste in women, though. Jolie, my Lady, I would love for once to know that you look around and see Meryl Streep, what she played, how she did it, since "Sophie\’s choice"…That\’s an Oscar actress. "By the Sea" will be a sad "gun less" version of " Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and nothing more. Jolie can\’t bear not to be sexy, beautiful, lots of make up (even badly spread powder on her face!!)…she does not know to be something else but a sex object. Pity. But, eh, good decision to change profession: stay at home and be a mother. A really good one. Only tattooing the coordinates of the countries you adopted your kids from, does not make you a good Mom. It is simply tasteless. And selling your photos and donating money to charity, does not mean that you are a mighty heart: it simply means "promoting your image". You want to talk charity? Go humble and give money to people in need, saying nothing, without reflectors and journalists "look how humanitarians we are!!". Just simply give money to people without humiliating them and promoting yourself. Do you know how many children are illiterate in Kosovo? You should know, you made a film about their war stories (what a sad joke). Jolie, you are 40, no longer a wild child: behave. And if you really want to be humanitarian, be so in shadows, not "Lights! And go!".

Awww Jack is jealous.
Jack must be certified critic to say that Brad and Angelina cannot act for sh!t. Wow! How can anyone say that when he only watches cartoons!! Cartoon are good for
critics" Jack! It takes one to know one!!! It\’s great to see Brad and Angelina in the same movie. I\’m certainly looking forward to it….
By the Sea will be a blockbuster…first movie these lovely and wonderful couple will be reunited. I could hardly wait. God bless the Jolie-Pitts!
Love them both and can\’t wait to see the movie.
@ Jack
I\’m sure it will be popular with the fangirls who read US magazine…
… and middle aged guys like me who love science, cultural trends and and a good book 🙂
I like them and looking forward to the movie
Neither one of them can act for sh!t. And isn\’t there something disturbing about how these people market their lives? They creep me out but I\’m sure it will be popular with the fangirls who read US magazine.
They look gorgeous, both of them, can\’t wait for this film.
Wowza!!!!
