wanna get slapped by Angelina Jolie?

Then kiss her while filming! Of course, it would help if the kiss wasn’t on the script, LOL! Last December, a co-star of Angelina Jolie in The Changeling leaned over, kissed her, and got a slap. Jason Butler Harner, the actor playing with her in one scene of Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film explained:

“I try to be selective with my improvising. Clint approved. He could see it happening and he said, ‘Do it and we’ll see what happens.’ I had talked to her at the beginning of the day. We had a big scene, and we’re supposed to be coming out of our corners, so it was a ‘How do we do this?’”

However, Jason Butler Harner didn’t mention to Angelina Jolie that he’ll kiss her. Here’s how it went down: Angie was supposed to be pushing him against a wall. It was the movie’s climatic scene, and her character, Christine Collins, was supposed to be confronting his character, Gordon Stewart Northcott, and asking him, “Did you kill my son?” Then Jason swooped for the kiss and –

“She slapped me and she held me and she hit me and it was great. She totally went with it. She’s really smart. She’s beautiful, but she’s really smart, and she’s a great actress.”

Of course, in any given day, it would be great to be kissed by Angelina Jolie – slap or no slap, LOL!

Angie seeks Catwoman tips from adult star

Aside from being rumored to star in Edwin A. Salt, an espionage action movie, Angelina Jolie is also rumored to star as Catwoman in the next installment of Batman. And if tabloids are to be believed, she has apparently been asking adult movie star Tera Patrick for advice on playing the feline catty antiheroine. The two are allegedly friends. A source told the New York Post newspaper:

“Tera and Angelina are friends and keep in touch via email. They have a girl-talk thing going. After seeing reports that she’ll land the lead role, Angelina asked Tera what she thought. Tera had such insights into the role that Angelina cracked, ‘You should do it’.”

The 33-year old actress has also been approached to star in The Thomas Crown Affair 2 alongside Pierce Brosnan – a role for which movie bosses want her to put on weight.

Angelina Jolie replaces Tom Cruise in spy movie

angelina-jolie-tom-cruise-edwin-a-salt.jpgHow’s that for cool?? A female star to replace an actor in an action movie!! You’ve definitely come a long way Angelina Jolie! According to reports, “Edwin A. Salt”, an espionage thriller once set to star Tom Cruise will now be redrafted by screenwriter Kurt Wimmer to suit Angie. The A-list actor had long been rumored to take the project but eventually bowed out because (reportedly) a $20 million salary wasn’t possible. The film will reunite Angelina Jolie with her “Bone Collector” director, Philip Noyce.

The mother of 6 is set to play the title character, a CIA officer who’s accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy and must elude capture long enough to establish her innocence. After Tom bowed out, several actors made a beeline for it, but it when Angelina Jolie took a liking to it, Columbia Pictures decided to rewrite the script for a female lead. Variety writes,

“she is the rare female who is viable in the action genre, which has been almost the exclusive domain of men.”

SO TRUE!! If you remember, Universal marketed “Wanted” mostly on Angie‘s shoulders and watched it gross $132 million domestically. If she will really star in “Edwin A. Salt”, she’ll definitely be one of the toughest yet sexy hot mommas around! Go Angie! ^_^

Angelina Jolie is the next Catwoman??

angelina-jolie-vanity-fair2.jpg

That would certainly add a WOW and SEXY factor to the Batman series if you know what I mean! ;-) And it would be perfect too since Bruce Wayne’s ladylove was killed (oops, spoiler!) so he needs a new love interest in the next installment. Contactmusic.com reports that Angelina Jolie has been tipped to play Catwoman by the actress who made the role famous, Julie Newmar. She appeared in the 1960s Batman television series and has recently revealed she would love Angelina Jolie to take on the role – that is, if The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan will resurrect the catty character in a future sequel. Julie shared to the New York Daily New:

Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me (she) has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman’s one true love. She’s tremendously popular with women because she’s both a heroine and a villainess.”

Other actresses who took on the Catwoman role were Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer. Will Angelina Jolie be next?? Stay tuned! =)

Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton to reunite onscreen!

angelinajolie-billybobthornton.jpg I wonder what Brad Pitt has to say about that! Hehe! Reports are rife that the divorced couple, Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton are planning to reunite for a comedy movie together. The former couple are currently searching for a suitable script in which they will co-star. Angie and Billy Bob first met on the set of their 1999 movie ‘Pushing Tin’ and were married for three years before divorcing in 2003. The actor recently told Maxim magazine that both of them were keen to work together again as long as he and Angelina are not cast as husband and wife. Bully Bob Thornton shared,

“We’ve talked about it plenty of times. I’m sure we will. We want to be really careful that we pick the right one. Maybe a comedy. In other words, we wouldn’t want to do another movie about a husband-wife relationship. That probably wouldn’t be very good.”

Shiloh’s film debut!

brangelina-shiloh-bonpointfrance2.jpgYesiree!! The first natural child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will soon be a movie star! According to reports, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt will make her big screen debut in her father’s new film. The blonde two-year-old will be seen with Brad in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. In the trailer of the movie, Angie‘s hot hubby is seen cradling Shiloh as she watches a balloon float away. Cute! =) “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” tells the tale of a man who starts ageing backwards with bizarre consequences. It is scheduled for January 2009 release. Yikes, that one year from now! By then Shiloh will be about 3 years old >.<

WANTED breaks box-office records!

Variety.com reports that WANTED scored the biggest opening ever for an R-rated film released in June and the sixth best of all time for any R-rated pic! It opened at No. 2 for the weekend and played well across ethnic groups. WALL*E from Pixar was the undisputed No. 1. Universal already said it’s eyeing a sequel for WANTED. wOOt!!! More Angelina Jolie! =)

WANTED skewed slightly male at 52% and slightly younger, with 51% of the aud under age 30. It also played well to Hispanic and African-American audience. Universal originally planned to open Angelina Jolie‘s latest action movie in the spring but then moved it to summer. President of domestic distribution Nikki Rocco said,

“We realized there was nothing like it in the marketplace. It was perfect timing, and we saw a great result.”

WANTED opening was the third highest ever for an R-rated action film, after “The Matrix Reloaded” ($91.7 million) and “300” ($70.9 million). Its success also paralleled the opening of Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt movie “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” which opened to $50.3 million in June 2005 on its way to coming $186.3 million domestically.

early reviews of WANTED

angelinajolie_wanted.jpg

And unsurprisingly, the critics praised the film and Angelina Jolie to high heavens! If you have watched the movie‘s trailers, I’m sure you’d agree with me that WANTED is phenomenal =) The venerable critic over at New York Times even said that Angelina Jolie will bring the baaad boys to their knees in her new action thriller. YEAH!! Manohla Dargis wrote,

“Ms. Jolie has been perfectly cast as a super-scary, seemingly amoral assassin named (wait for it) Fox. Few American actresses, especially those with such pin-skinny arms, can make beating a guy to the ground look so easy and, yeah, man, like fun. With her mean smiley-sneer and snug clothes, her heels and hieroglyphics, she cuts the kind of disciplinarian figure who can bring antsy boys of all ages to their knees or at least into their theater seats.”

If you have nothing to do today, go out and watch WANTED! It’s out in theaters everywhere today!! Angelina Jolie YOU ROCK!!! =)

Angie eyeing Sin City 2

She has not given birth to her twins yet she’s already eyeing her next acting job. According to the tabloids, Angelina Jolie is considering a role in Sin City 2 — because she is intrigued with what director FRANK MILLER can come up with next. Of course, her part would be more on action than being an exotic dancer like Jessica Alba in the first film. Angelina Jolie loved the 2004 comic book adaptation and Mr. Miller is also keen to have the actress on board for the sequel. In fact, he already has a character lined up for her and is eager for her to peruse the script. Angelina apparently said:

“I found the first Sin City impressive, but I don’t know what they’re going to do with the next one to make (it) as original as the first one. I’d be curious. I think he’s a genius.”

If ever Angie pushes through with this project and JESSICA ALBA plus BRITTANY MURPHY would still be in. Sin City 2 would be one heck of a fantasy movie for all the males out there! ;-)
