There’s been lots of different ideas of directors and lots of different discussions. The script has been written by Eric Roth, who is a dear friend and a brilliant writer.’She suggested that playing Cleopatra would be such a huge role that she might be tempted not to carry on acting.‘She’s complicated, it’s complicated to get this one right. I think we’re getting there. It’s getting close. I imagine the preparation for it is going to be big.’She went on: ‘It’s one of those that you think maybe that’s the one you put everything into and that’s where you end it, that’s where you finish – in a great way! ‘What could you do beyond that one?’ The actress recently hinted that her acting career will be taking a back seat in the near future.Angelina revealed that she will focus on her humanitarian work with the United Nations and Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative; and directing instead.‘I’ve had a wonderful career and I’m very happy to have had all the opportunities to tell stories and work for as long as I have’ she said.‘I’m sure there will be more films but I am happy I am able to be selective and have fun with characters like this but I would like to focus on writing and directing and above all I would like to focus more on my work with the UN and PSVI.’

It’s been a while since we’ve seen the Jolie-Pitt brood. So imagine our glee when they all showed up for the premiere of Angelina Jolie‘s new film, Maleficent, Wednesday evening.Held at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, the kid-friendly event was perfect for family date night.To complement their parents’s dark attire, Maddox, 12½, Pax, 10, Shiloh, 8, and Knox, 5½, wore suit jackets and vests paired with trousers in hues of gray, khaki and navy. On the other hand, Zahara, 9, went for a more fun look – sporty gold and black tank, black velvet leggings, gold sneakers and face paint!.The only person missing? Brad and Angelina‘s little girl Vivienne, 5½, who actually plays a young Aurora in the movie.We can imagine it takes a lot to wrangle six kids, so we’ll take any Jolie-Pitt family sighting we can get it, especially if it means seeing how much Jolie’s first child, Maddox, has grown up.According to the actress, the almost 13-year-old already has a girlfriend. “She’s great,” she told ET News. “I won’t embarrass him. She’s lovely. She lives in England. She’s very cool.”So how is the tween managing his long distance relationship? “We go there as often as possible. It’s really, really sweet. She’s a great lady, so I’m lucky. So far, we’re doing good.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hold hands while arriving at premiere of her new flick Maleficent held at the El Capitan Theatre on Wednesday (May 28) in Hollywood. A few weeks ago, the 38-year-old actress sported a black dress while supporting the 50-year-old actor at his 2014 Make It Right Foundation Gala in New Orleans, La. “I want them to do it for fun only, and when they get older, if they decide to be actors, I would just ask that that’s not the center of their lives,” Angie recently shared to ABC about her kids going into acting. “That’s an aspect but they are involved in many other things, because I don’t think it’s a healthy focus as the center of your life.” FYI: Angelina is wearing Versace and Brad is wearing Gucci.

Maleficent's Darkly Beautiful Jewels

EVERYONE wants a little bit of Maleficent - Disney's summer blockbuster starring (in case you've been living on Mars for the past few weeks) Angelina Jolie as the titular villain - but, far from just creating the usual movie merchandise (think horns on a hairband and maybe a cloak), Disney has collaborated on something much more spectacular. The film behemoth has enlisted Crow's Nest Fine Jewellery to encapsulate all that is enthralling and beautiful about Sleeping Beauty's fairytale nemesis in a series of wearable pieces."It's a seven-piece collection of contemporary and statement rings, bracelets and earcuffs, taking inspiration from and interpreting the key elements of the film," designer Daniel Belevitch told us. "Each piece is set in rhodium with black diamonds, featuring a pear-shaped onyx, which contrasts with the green tsavorite that has become signature for my core pieces."Inspired by key motifs in the film - fire, dragons, thorns and feathers - and having watched clips and closely examined the costumes, Belevitch began sketching. Ranging in price from £2,500 to £13,500, the finished offering is as exquisite and beautiful as the film's protagonist - but like her is also complex."She's a dark character but with a beauty as well," he added. "I think she's misunderstood and we can learn something about ourselves from her. I hope my interpretation of the character, that I tried to capture within the jewellery, reflects how other people feel too, dark but beautiful."
