Considering the kinds of movies Angelina Jolie is known for, the war drama In the Land of Blood and Honey is not something one would expect her to choose to make her directorial debut, but that's exactly what she has done. With a global box office of only $303,877, we can see that not many people went to watch the movie in theaters.
While In the Land of Blood and Honey didn't have any impact in terms of box office performance, the movie has impressed Universal enough that Jolie is entrusted with Unbroken, an adaptation of Laura Hillenbrand's biography about Louis Zamperini who was captured and imprisoned by the Japanese army during WWII. Jolie replaced Francis Lawrence, who left to direct The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
It looks like she'll be given a considerably larger budget to work with this time considering the studio and who got hired to write the screenplay: The Coen Brothers!
That right, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Joel and Ethan Coen have been brought on board to adapt Hillenbrand 2010 book. The Coens took home the Best Screenplay Oscar for Fargo and No Country for Old Men so they're kind of decent at these kind of things. No word if they'll be rewriting William Nicholson and Richard LaGravenese's draft or starting over with a new one.
The Coens' new drama Inside Llewyn Davis is going to be released by CBS Films sometime this year. The movie focuses on a New York folk singer named Llewyn Davis during the '60s.
