Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt offered $60 million to share screen in movie

Angelina Jolie
  • Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are offered a blank cheque.
  • Danny Rossner wants to cast them in a film together.
  • Danny hopes they will put their differences aside for this offer.

Hollywood’s once-iconic couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, currently embroiled in a high-profile divorce, have reportedly been offered a blank cheque to co-star in a film.

According to Page Six, producer Danny Rossner is raising $60 million for what he describes as his “passion project of more than 20 years.”

Rossner revealed the film is a World War II love story set at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France. The roles would see Jolie playing Emma Digard, a seductive muse, opposite Pitt as Emmanuel Martinez, the hotel’s owner. The script reportedly includes intense love scenes, but Rossner remains hopeful. “I’m serious about this offer and believe the story can transcend their differences,” Rossner said.

The proposal comes amid ongoing legal disputes between Jolie, 49, and Pitt, 60, over the custody of their six children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne—as well as their Château Miraval winery.

In July, Jolie’s attorney Paul Murphy released a statement urging Pitt to resolve the conflict. “While Angelina again asks Mr. Pitt to end the fighting and finally put their family on a clear path toward healing, unless Mr. Pitt withdraws his lawsuit, Angelina has no choice but to obtain the evidence necessary to prove his allegations wrong,” Murphy said.

Meanwhile, Pitt has gone public with his relationship with jewellery designer Ines de Ramon, confirming their romance during the Venice Film Festival.

SC restores Adil Bazai as MNA

SC

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday annulled the Election Commission of Pakistan decision to de-seat member of National Assembly Adil Bazai.

MNA Adil Bazai’s appeal was heard by the bench headed by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah.The ECP de-seated Adil Bazai from the National Assembly under 63A.

He was disqualified by the ECP on a plea of President PML-N on charges of floor crossing during the passage of the 26th Constitutional Amendment.

Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, President, Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) filed a reference in the ECP against Adil Bazai under Article 63-A on the basis of an affidavit that he belongs to PML-N and joined another party in the Parliament.

Adil Bazai contradicted the affidavit terming it fake but the ECP granted the plea of the PML-N president disqualifying Adil to be a member of the National Assembly. The decision of the ECP was, however, challenged by Adil Bazai in the Supreme Court.

A five-member bench of the SC, headed by Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, heard the petition and declared Adil Bazai a legitimate member of the parliament. Detailed judgement of the case will be announced later.

The Court expressed displeasure over the conduct of the ECP in this particular case observing that there were two affidavits attributed to the petitioner.

The petitioner terms one affidavit fake and accepts the other as genuine. How does the ECP decide to accept the first one and reject the second.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, she explained her decision to speak out.

“Courage only comes from the truth. I only have to be scared when I’m fabricating something. If I’m not doing that, I don’t have to be scared,” she said. “Why should I be scared of doing something which I feel is right? I should be scared only if I’m doing something wrong.”

UAE

ISLAMABAD: Ambassador of the UAE, Hamad Obaid Ibrahim Al Zaabi, called on Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar here and briefed him on the steps being taken to streamline the visa processes for Pakistani nationals including augmentation of human resource.

Both the dignitaries discussed areas of cooperation between Pakistan and the UAE.

The Deputy Prime Minister and Ambassador Al Zaabi also discussed visa issues for Pakistani nationals, whereas the streamlining efforts would cut the delays and expedite the visa processing.

Earlier, the government had said that during their interactions with the UAE government, the subject of issuing visas to Pakistanis was an important agenda item.

Recently, either delays or outright rejection of the UAE visas for Pakistanis had been making headlines, but Islamabad had continuously rejected these reports.
