While their tumultuous divorce is still ongoing, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are said to be PROVIDED a role in a movie. That's the wish and perhaps overly optimistic offer of producer Danny Rossner, who claims to have raised about $60 million from his backers, which he hopes will be enough to convince the former couple to play again together.
Danny Rossner is more of a B-movie producer than an A-movie producer: previous film successes include the parody "2001: Trapped in Space" with Leslie Neilsen and the action film "The Last Weapon" with Hulk Hogan. His dream, which he has been working on for more than 20 years, is a love story set in the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France, during World War II, inspired by the events of its owner. In his idea, Emmanuel Martinez would play Brad Pitt's face while Angelina Jolie would play his seductive girlfriend and muse Emma Digard. The script implies that the two must play intimately.
"We are willing to offer a figure of 50% above their current compensation,” he told the Post. That meant up to $37.5 million for Pitt, but only $22 million for Jolie. When it was pointed out that the ex-spouses, who have been locked in divorce proceedings since 2016 that have never been fully resolved despite a judge declaring them legally single, would not even appear in the same room, much less in a movie together.
