Angelina's Take On India
October 8th 2006 20:42
"We deeply appreciate the warm welcome we have received from the people of Pune, India, where we are filming A Mighty Heart," Jolie tells PEOPLE magazine in a statement. "We are excited to have this chance for our children to learn about India's wonderful culture and history."
Jolie and her beau Brad Pitt are in India to film "A Mighty Heart." Jolie plays Mariane Pearl, the widow of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. The real Mariane Pearl penned the book A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl. The film, which is currently shooting in Pune, is being produced by Pitt's Plan B production company.
Journalist Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and killed by Islamic terrorists in Pakistan in early 2002.
"I had hoped to make this film in Pakistan, but after discussions with Pakistani officials it became clear that they would be more comfortable for us to film in India," Jolie says.
She continues, "I am disappointed that we could not shoot the film in Pakistan, a country that I love and have visited three times. We look forward to visiting Pakistan soon. A Mighty Heart is a film about cross-cultural understanding and the values that people of all faiths share. This is not a film about terrorism or conflict, it is a story of people of all faiths working together to find the truth."
Angelina and Brad have three children, Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh.
