 Angelina Jolie in A Mighty Heart Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in Pune, India, where filming just began on their latest socially conscious project, A Mighty Heart.The film is based on the 2003 book A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl, by Mariane Pearl.
Jolie plays Mariane, widow of the Wall Street Journal reporter, who was murdered by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002 while researching a story on the links between "shoe bomber" Richard Reid and Islamic spiritual leader Sheikh Mubarak Gilani. Mariane was pregnant with their child when her husband was kidnapped.
Jolie said in a weekend statement that she was disappointed not to be filming in Pakistan, "a country I love and have visited three times." But security concerns pushed the filming to the western Indian city of Pune, which was chosen because it resembles Karachi, Pakistan.
Dan Futterman, who wrote the screenplay to last year's Capote, plays Daniel Pearl, according to Paramount Vantage, which is producing the movie with Pitt's Plan B production company.
Michael Winterbottom, whose other films include Welcome to Sarajevo and The Road to Guantanamo, directs A Mighty Heart. It's scheduled for release in 2007.
