Film Angelina Jolie Is Directing a Film Written by the Coen Brothers

Posted by Grant Brissey on Tue, Mar 5, 2013 at 1:53 PM

Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence stepped down from this project about Los Angeles high-school track star Lou Zamperini, who raced in the 1936 Berlin Olympics and then survived 47 days in shark-infested waters off the coast of a Japanese island when his plane crashed in the Pacific in 1942." It's based on the book Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand, who also wrote Seabiscuit.

Now that you have the basic facts, it's time to vote on this information.

Seabuscuit? Is that the porn version?

What's with all of the annoying polls, people?

I love Jolie. I don't care what she does. I will always love her. I think it's those lips. She gets them from pappa.

I don't see what people find attractive in Angelina Jolie.

She looks weird. Weird proportions.

She looks like a Frankenstein's monster built out of attractive woman parts.

It's not right.

Wait, the book about the dude that lasted 47 days in shark-infested waters isn't the one she titled Seabiscuit?

@4 - You have a point, but it is right.

@4 Thank you for defining specifically what I don't like about Angelina Jolie's face, although having watched Midnight Cowboy again recently I will agree that those fish lips are real, per @3.

Angelina Jolie directing a film by the Coen Brothers?

America hasn't heard anything this incestuous like Jerry Lee Lewis married his 2nd cousin.

Why did this already turn into a discussion about Jolie's appearance rather than her industry chops?

Lou Zamperini is still alive and is a true BAMF.

It's not gonna be a version of "the Hunger Games" if it's in Japan. It's gonna be a version of "Battle Royale", the ultimate teens battling each other until only one survives novel, written decades before "The Hunger Games." Also filmed before "The Hunger Games."
