Pitt and Aniston initially pitched the story for the Daniel Pearl film to his widow, Marianne. Then Pitt went and made the movie with Jolie starring in it. |
I don’t blame Marianne Pearl, she had to secure her son’s future. |
Jennifer was the one who approached Mariane Pearl for the rights to her book a mighty heart. She had said in many interviews that it was becoming her passion project and even expressed wanting to play Mariane. Part of their deal allowed Mariane to have the final casting say about her character which is her right but there was a lot of disagreements over it. Mariane had her own picks, which included Angelina because they had been friends for some time before the smith movie/affair. Well the divorce happened and Mariane got her wish.Anyway that's why it took so long for the movie to be made and casted. In interviews for promo they changed it to Brad approaching Mariane. That was a lie to avoid crediting Jennifer . Looking back maybe Jennifer should have stepped back and realized that project wasn't for her. Still it wasn't cool. |
Well, neither woman should have agreed to 'blackface.' They should have cast an actress like Thandiwe Newton. |
That I agree but Stepping back, I see 11:31's POV now.I always saw it from Jennifer's POV and how upset she must have been to lose that project. In the end it was Mariane's book and her life. I remember her being portrayed as being difficult in the beginning but she had every right to choose who she wanted to play her. They should have just changed her race instead to accommodate Mariane. |
And it's not like quality men are waiting to date Jolie either. She tried to get a rumor started with The Weeknd and that lasted about a week. I think it would be wise for potential suitors to steer clear of both of them tbh. But Jolie gets a few more toxic points than Brad in my estimation. Alienating him from his kids is despicable. |
Is it quality people aren't lining up to date them or they choose not to date quality people. I am positive Brad can find someone whose a bit closer in his age who isn't legally married or is constantly pictured at dispensaries and smoking/drinking. Not knocking on his gf but that's a lot of temptation. She doesn't have to be lawyer like Amal but he can do a lot better if he wanted too. As they say water seeks its own level. These are crappy people picking other crappy people. |
They dated, just not for very long. He wrote about her in a song. |
Mid-life crisis, he just wants to party and have sex with a younger woman who won't challenge him on anything. |
He tried his luck with that gorgeous MIT professor Neri Oxman, but she married a billionaire instead. |
She was always going to marry a brilliant Jew. Pitt never stood a chance. |
| I don't see the Pitt birthday story on People anymore but US has basically the same piece, now saying he'll also spend time with "a couple of" his kids. So the twins, or twins plus Shiloh. I just went to grab the link and it's now gone too. |
Thanks for the clarification. |
I don’t think they ever dated. |
He visited her lab and rumor was he was very interested in her, but she preferred Bill Ackman. Also big ego, but richer, smarter, Jewish, and less baggage. |
