X17 EXCLUSIVE - Studio Exec Visits Angelina Jolie's Budapest Set Amid Production Troubles
Posted on Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:30 PM PDT
Steve Auer, the Budapest-based director of operations for Raleigh Studios, paid a visit to Angelina Jolie yesterday on the set of her directorial debut of a film about the Bosnian War.
A source close to the production tells us Auer is contemplating location options with Jolie after news recent Bosnian officials denied the production a film permit. The official reason for not issuing the permit was that the application had not included a copy of the script, as was requested. However local reports claim members of the Bosnian government and local activists groups were responding to controversy involving how rape victims are being portrayed in the yet-untitled film.
A source on set tells X17online exclusively:
- "Angelina clearly looked upset while walking with the Raleigh Studio executive. The two were speaking seriously and there were only a few top members of the production within earshot of them. After Auer left, Angelina was not in a good mood. Clearly this trouble is taking a big toll on her."
Angelina, herself, released the following statement:
- "There are many twists in the plot that address the sensitive nature of the relationship between the main characters, and that will be revealed once the film is released. My hope is that people will hold judgment until they have seen the film."
In response to that statement, Bakira Hasecic, president of the Women Victims of War association in Sarajevo, claims "in the film, a victim is really falling in love with her torturer," and for that reason she believes no filming should be done in Bosnia.
Our source on set adds, "Steve is here to find a way to film the scenes, originally planned for Sarajevo, in Budapest. The studio is nervous this could end up costing them a lot of money if they don't find a plan B quickly."
When X17online contacted Raleigh Studios, they replied, "Thanks, we don't comment."
Do you think Angelina is wrong for wanting to films scenes in Sarajevo?

Oh, noooo! Someone (third world country)actually said no to St. Angie! Hope no one goes to this movie...if it ever gets made. Karma is a b-tch!
St. Angie Ho probably thought she could do whatever she wants and no on would question her. This movie will be shit.
Bitch is only trying to be provocative so she can get MORE publicity because she is an attention whore.
easy money
She is so over exposed and annoying.
I wonder if the Muslims she loves so much will now turn on her and issue a fatwa.
she got big NO from serbian television company"pink" a few months ago.
she is selfish,manipulative.....brad is sop,big sop.
Gee, her and Brad are ALWAYS working on some project or saving the world, I wonder how much time they actually spend with their kids and together? Not much I bet. Their 'family' is a sham.
Is that a baby bump?
Whatever it takes to stir up a controversy, and draw attention. And of coarse, Pitt just happens to drop by in the middle of it.
She needs to fire whoever forgot to submit the proper documentation. What kind of people does she have working for her that they neglected to submit a copy of the script. Either someone screwed up or they're hiding something.
I LOVE YOU ANGELINA JOLIE

SHILOH IS SHINING!!!!
Who's that ugly hag and where is Angelina?
Wow, only four days into production and the execs are already all over her, and not in a good way. Most directors of troubled shoots don't get a harsh talking to until at least a month into production. I'm sure he told her to do some re-writes on the script. Or to stop playing PR games with these fake controversies.
Whatever happened, she's the director. In the end it's HER responsibility.
More importantly, how can we blame this mess on Jen Aniston? LOL.
Wow people are stupid. There is no rape scene. Everybody EXCEPT X17 is reporting the statements from the producers and Angelina which said the rape relationship was false. I'm baffled why people are blaming the Angelina. The producers/studio take care of things like locations.
A Faux director
A Faux manitarian
I could never understand why people call this hideous woman in the photo "sexy or beautiful"
She does look horrible in this pic here. airbrushing and photoshoppin really works miracles.. lol
Look how big her feet look, just sayin'
This is redicilous! I hear that the movie is once again negative towards Serbian people. I read that apparently the movie is going to be about a "Serbian man who falls in love with Muslim girl. He helps her hide inside of church and helps her survive through the war. The Muslim army invades the church and many Serbian people get killed. He thinks that she is the one who has given the location and becomes vilet towards the girl, apparently he rapes her and then kills her." When is this going to stop?! The war ended a long time age and movies like this will create more hatred between people from former Yugoslavia.
