But does this...

NEW YORK Jul 13, 2006 (AP) - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, whose relationship was spawned on a film set, will again work together this time on a movie based on the life of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan.

Jolie will star as Pearl's wife, Mariane Pearl, in an adaptation of her book, "A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl," it was announced Thursday. Pitt will produce the film, directed by Michael Winterbottom.

The movie will be based on Mariane Pearl's account of her husband's abduction in Karachi, Pakistan, in 2002, while researching a story on Islamic militancy. Months later, his beheaded body was found in a shallow grave in a compound on the
outskirts of Karachi.


I mean if memory serves me right, Pearl's wife was of mixed origin including black. If you look at the picture to the right, I think Halle Berry would have been a much better choice for this role.

I mean sorry... I respect Angelina's work, including her acting, but this just does not even come close to being credible to me. Seems to me that this could have been a groundbreaking role for some African American Actress.

What are your thoughts...
