Angelina Jolie is quite used to media frenzy, but the actress says, that things got a little out of control while filming of ‘A Mighty Heart’ in Mumbai, India. At the same time, she holds the paparazzi responsible for creating chaos at a school where she was shooting for the English film.
In Entertainment Weekly magazine, Jolie, 31, has been quoted saying,
It was not the film production that caused chaos. We were only guilty of bringing the paparazzi.
The movie- A Mighty Heart, directed by Michael Winterbottom, is based on a memoir by Mariane Pearl, widow of Daniel Pearl. Daniel was a Wall Street Journal reporter who was abducted and murdered in Pakistan in 2002 while doing a story on Islamic militancy.
Jolie plays the character of Mariane Pearl, opposite Dan Futterman, who plays Daniel Pearl. The movie is scheduled to release in June by Viacom Inc.’s Paramount Vantage. It will be showcased at the annual Cannes Film Festival next month.
Jolie says,
The story unfolds like a mystery. You’ve got people collecting clues and trying to solve what happened. But it’s also very real and personal. We didn’t want it to be too melodramatic or too polished. We didn’t want it to be a typical movie.
The concept is very good, I’m sure the movie will be worth watching. Winterbottom has treated the concept very well with abundant handheld shots, which gives a reality show touch.
