Jolie Writing, Directing Bosnian War Drama

Published on: 25th August, 2010

Actress-Oscar winner-humanitarian-child collector Angelina Jolie is adding more hyphens to her title. British production company GK Films is financing her feature film directorial debut and first screenplay, an untitled love story set against the Bosnian war. Jolie will not star in the film.

Producer Graham King’s blog reports the film is about a young Serb and a Muslim woman who fall in love just before the start of the Bosnian war and how the Eastern European conflict affects their passionate relationship. The cast will consist of unknown actors of various ethnic groups from the former Yugoslavia, Jolie said after speaking with Bosnian government officials about the refugee crisis.
