After 10 years of waiting, the inspiring Hollywood couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, will once again bring tears and smiles to their fans as they play the roles in a drama about a staggering marriage in a movie entitled 'By the Sea.'
According to the Telegraph, the movie was inspired by European art films of the 60s and 70s, like 'Jules et Jim' and 'Breathless.'
Jolie was the one who directed the film while also playing the lead role together with her husband.
"I was nervous about not being able to have the right direction for him, to see him stuck and not being able to push him. So it was challenging, but we made a private pact that we were going to try to be as open and honest and emotive as possible, and give to each other as much as we could and, succeed or fail, we would just lay it bare," shares Jolie. "These were very sensitive themes and I know Brad's triggers and what he can do and what he is thinking about so I had to step away and just be very careful in how he was directed. I tried to give him a safe space and [told] him to trust me and [that] I would do my best to protect him in the editing room if he would be as open and give me as much of himself and his emotions and his honesty, and he did. I think he worked very hard," added Jolie.
Jolie also mentioned that the drama is not autobiographical.
"Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems we couldn't have made the film. To be clear: we have fights and problems like any other couple," said Jolie. "We have days when we drive each other absolutely mad and want space, but the problems in the movie aren't our specific problems," Jolie revealed.
In a report by People, Brad Pitt has revealed that he had no desire to also direct his wife in the future.
"I'd rather work for her," Pitt said.
