Her Oscar-winning fiancé may have just jetted Down Under to spend time with her and their six strong brood, but it's business as usual for Angelina Jolie on the set of her new film Unbroken. The star looked very much in control as she sat in the director’s chair of the World War II biopic on Thursday. The 38-year-old is currently filming on the Gold Cast in Queensland, where the mother-of-six was casually dressed in black pants and a black, thick-strapped singlet that displayed her slender arms. Her signature chocolate locks were pulled into a low ponytail and she kept her makeup natural and to a minimum. Jolie and her six children have been based in Australia since November last year, with 50-year-old Brad flying in and out as much as possible to spend time with the family. The doting father touched down in Sydney on Tuesday after his film 12 Years A Slave had a big win at the Producers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills at the weekend. His presence has likely taken some stress off of Angelina’s shoulders, as producing the film has by no means proven an easy feat. According to screenwriters Joel and Ethan Coen, the many war scenes and water and aerial shoots make the production process all the more problematic. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly last year, Angelina said of the difficulty of the shoot: 'On set, we started to joke and say, "Tomorrow will be easier," knowing full well that on this challenging shoot, there are no easy days,' 'Anytime it gets tough, we think of the real men who lived through this, and no one complains. In fact, we all just feel honored to be here.' The motion picture is based on a novel by Laura Hillenbrand that narrates the true life story of a World War II hero. Skins actor Jack O'Connell stars in the lead role as American Olympic runner Louis Zamperini, who was taken prisoner by the Japanese army during the second World War. The movie also stars Garrett Hedlund and 'About Time' actor Domhnall Gleeson. It is scheduled for release in December this year. Angelina and Brad have been making the most of Australia while there, spending time on the Gold Coast where they went ice-skating and visited the Currumbin Wildlife Park, and taking a cruise around Coomera River. They've also been enjoying time in Sydney, including a trip to the aquarium and to see The Lion King.

Angelina Jolie has a new credit to add to her resume – executive producer of the Ethiopian movie Difret! The film will be heading to the 2014 Sundance Film Festival this week as an entry in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition and now it has one of the world’s biggest stars putting her support behind it. Angelina will be taking a presentation credit on the film and there is no word yet if the title will be changed, according to Deadline. The movie tells the story of a girl and a female lawyer who take on the Ethiopian tradition of “telefa,” which means marriage by abduction. “This film is a strong moment for art in Ethiopia”, Angelina said in a statement. “It is inspiring to see such an important story so beautifully illustrated with such creative talent. It draws out the richness of Ethiopian culture and shows how important legal advances can be made while respecting local culture. It is a story that gives hope for Ethiopia’s future, and for other countries where countless girls grow up without the protection of laws that shield them and their bodies, and shows how the courage of brave individuals can awaken the conscience of a society.”

They've been open with the children about it and they are all excited at the prospect," a source close to the family revealed to British magazine Grazia.Brad, 50, and 38-year-old Angelina dedicate a lot of their time to charity work in Africa.Daughter Zahara was born in Ethiopia and they're currently building an AIDS clinic there in her name, donating $2million to get the project started."They have always wanted Zahara to have a sibling who shares her African heritage. Ideally they'd like a little girl aged between two and three."There is likely to be a visit to Ethiopia in the next few months to check on the proceedings at the clinic.

When Angelina Jolie flashed all that leg on the red carpet at the Oscars two years ago, she had to know she'd get attention. Duh. Of course. That's why she wore it. But do you think she knew all that leg would be this influential?!Then again, it's Angelina f--king Jolie. Follow this train of thought: Angelina starred in The Tourist with Johnny Depp (remember that movie?! Did you even see that movie?!), Johnny Depp is dating Amber Heard. A is to B and the transitive property and blah blah...Here is Amber Heard rocking Angelina Jolie leg on the red carpet at the Golden Globes.It's not exactly Angelina Jolie leg—stick that gam out, Heard! —but the slit is up to there and it's close enough to keep the legacy of Angelina Jolie leg alive by comparison.
