BREAKING NEWS - Angelina Jolie Gets Film Permit From Bosnia After Submitting Script To Officials, Source Says
Posted on Sun Oct 17, 2010 11:05 AM PDT
After a much-publicized controversy over the subject of Angelina Jolie's first directorial effort, the Bosnian film commission has granted a permit for the yet-untitled film about the early 1990's war, to shoot in and around Sarajevo, according to X17 photographers on the scene with the production now in Budapest.
Reports claimed the story is of a Bosnian woman who falls in love with her captor and rapist. The film is said have a working title of Untitled Love Story.
After meeting with the head of Raleigh Studios yesterday in Budapest, where the production is currently filming, Jolie was said to be in a bad mood and it looked like the news wasn't good. X17 was told Jolie was given orders to find a back-up plan if the film permit for Bosnia was denied.
Well now, X17 photographers on the scene say the set is abuzz with news that the Bosnian film commission has approved the production's request and that production will go on, as scheduled. "A few of the crew members told us today it was a go. Everyone on the set is relieved."
The mood was certainly lighter on set today and Brad Pitt even came for a visit. "Angie was in a much better mood today. She was happy to have Brad around and everyone seemed to be celebrating."
This would be a huge victory for Jolie, as having to find secondary shooting locations would have cost the production hundreds of thousands of dollars and the negative PR could have canned the film before release.
Jolie had offered to meet with rape victims' groups in Sarajevo to allay any concerns though none of the groups took her up on the offer.
A Bosnian actress who is set to play a role in the film, defended Jolie's project, telling the Bosnian media, "We are not making a movie about a crazy woman falling in love with her rapist. We are not sick and perverted."
Jolie's Sarajevo producer, Edin Sarkic, told The Associated Press on Friday that rumors the film was about a rape victim falling in love with a rapist are "insane." He also said his contract prevents him from disclosing details about the script.
We can't wait to see if all the controversy is based in reality or if all the reports about the subject of the film were wrong!

Bingo!
The operative phrase is 'much publicized controversy". She got exactly what she wanted out of it, otherwise she would have submitted the script when they initially asked for it instead of waiting.
Odviously currupt officals were paid off. it well come back to haunt them that they permitted this horrible film to be made.its just another way for joile to line her pockets off the backs of the poor once agin.
bra dhad to go there a week early cuz the kids were actting so wild even the 5 body guards and 7 nannys couldnt handel them but easted brads now playing movie director. you cant bale the kids for actting out they have been put in a very uncomfortable sitution.
shame on brad he is suppose to be the sane one!
thos ke kids should be at home in school!
She is extremely thin, skeletal. I am quite sure her breath is terrible - exceedingly skinny people always have bad breath right? True or False?
Losers always hate doers.
thorwing up your food to stay skeltal well giv eyou bad breath true.
this si just more of the joile pitts
exploting the hurtting int he world for fame and money and PR.
brad should let someoneles runt he ktrina foundation they are sitting on 200 milliona of donated money but have only bulit 30 houses in 5 years!
They screw up everything they do beacuse they are LOSERS!
The tabloids are the ones who started the controvery and blew it 1000 times. They made up the whole rape victim falling in love with her attacker. Then just because it was Angelina the tabloids and media made a big deal about the permit. Problems like this happen all of the time and they never get a tenth of the attention that this movie got. People were desperately trying to make a story where there was none. I also don't understand why X17 is still claiming that the rape storyline is true and production is on the brink of shutting down. Obviously none of this is true.
necklace is there!
this is all the media's fault and angelina had to clear it all up and yet you people have the nerve to say she's doing it for publicity when she had nothing to do with it..angelina must be hating the media right now. i know i would imagine how frustrated she is
People, this is all one big show, and you're falling for it. Look closer, and you'll see people doing much more(physically), for needy people & countries, that Jolie & Pitt would never do, without a big pat on the back, and plenty of attention from the media. 12:34, do you honestly think Jolie hates the media? Think of all the strange things she's done through the yrs.to draw attention. They're actors, and weirdos at that.
She looks awful.
uh. yeah....cuz we wouldn't want another war to break out over the shooting of a hollywood film on uh-hum "public territory" now, would we.... there is surely some very stagnant militaristic brutality/violence that has never gone away in that region. in the last 500 years that is.
The haters can't stay away. Pissed that they are still together. Brad love his woman and supports her.
suck it hags.keep wishing for what is not going to happen. Whatever Angie is or how she looks. Brad still wanted her over Aniston. NOW deal and move the heck on. YOU freaks are unreal.
She is directing, producing and writing. The fans will support her, something you nuts never do for Aniston.
Go Angie..Beautiful, talented and loved..
armed male mobs who act like warlords (aka 'local politics'), who merely possess females for forced procreation/oppressed sexual servants (whores/prostitutes). that is the balkan for you. has not changed in 1500 years. they just wear Nike sweaters these days, instead of ancient garbs.
SHe looks like a skeleton, you fans are crazy. You fans need to move on. You like her because she has no morals like you. They are together for PR they can't break up.
It's all about Karma, Brad and Angie they will get theirs.
never thought that nationalist communism existed. extreme racism (murder included, murder and genocide of those who do not fit into this program operation)- high breeding females-fat ugly ones who prefer to stay at home preferred) with stone faced brutal machismo males. that is all they want in that region. and a couple of whore like queens to excite the males to fulfill their procreational duties with their home wife. turkey is the root of all evil.
Angie's too thin right now. She's still one of the most beatiful women on the planet, but I think if she would gain 10 pounds or so, she would def be the most beautiful... She looks so weak and fragile when shes this skinny... its a shame:/
I can not believe she is doing a movie based on this concept. Being Raped and then falling in love with the person who violated you. This is way off bounds. Even for America. Women Groups should speak out. Sounds INSANE, I agree.
Angelina is a perverted sick wh.re she is making a movie based on her sexual fantasies
Xfans you still don't get it!
Brad Pitt dumped X for his soulmate and great love (Angie)and this is the real reason you talked about Bosnia.
You don't care about these people and of anyone that should talk about this topic is Angelina.
During this time Angelina was the represented of the UN and she sat with the women and children and told thier stories. So , shut the F**K up cause all you x fans care about is that you wet dream fantasy on Brad is gone!
Get a life and stop your pathetic hate on Angelina cause its Brad who dumped x the looser not Angelina.
All this blah , blah its about Brd Pitt and for heaven sake :Brad Pitt does not even know you exit and here you are wasting your energy on hating people you don't even know.
Pathetic and looser at the same time!

That report is false being raped and then.... and maybe you are the one that starts it.
Yeah, you keep repeating this and you maybe finding yourself behind bars.
Its a lie from the start and please, read the real news instead of TABS.
Brad had a boyish good looks ages ago but now he is old and ugly I bet he stinks as bad as he looks and Angelina looks even worse than him
ANISTON, WHY THE HATE?
