We may not know what the title of the film is yet but at last we get to see the first photo of Angelina Jolie hard at work behind the camera as director on her new film. People magazine brings us our first look at Ange on the set of her new film, currently in production in Prague, and as you can see … she is a woman in control:
With the kids about to start school and Brad Pitt fresh off the plane from America, it’s time for Angelina Jolie to start directing. A new film, that is. Making her directorial debut, Jolie, 35, has teamed up with Oscar-winning producer Graham King (The Departed) on her yet untitled film, which began shooting a week ago. “Angelina is one of the most accomplished and dedicated film professionals I have had the pleasure to work with, so I jumped at the chance to produce her directorial debut alongside her,” King tells PEOPLE. “I am very happy to be a witness to a new film director in the making.” Jolie went local when she cast her film, recruiting European actors Zana Marjanovic (Cannes critics week grand prize winner for Snow), Goran Kostic (Taken, Children of Men) and Rade Serbedzija (Batman Begins, Mission Impossible II).
I understand the as-yet-untitled film will focus on a love story that will feature the Bosnian War as the backdrop. HMMM. It’s an interesting enough idea, we’ll have to see how the whole thing turns out in the end. As you may know, Madonna is currently directing her own film titled W.E. so it’ll be interesting — at least for me — to see how the 2 films turn out and determine which celeb is the better director. I am very curious to see more … let’s see how much more of Angelina Jolie: Director we get to see in the coming weeks and months.

@Trent–”…Madonna is currently directing her own film titled W.E. so it’ll be interesting…” and when you say interesting I assume you mean bad.
Madonna+Movie=Yuck (with the exception of Evita cuz that was a musical and that’s what she’s good at)
@ Meredith, hilarious!
I my opinion I believe only people that have been the film business long enough to learn over time should even try directing (example Clint Eastwood, one word, amazing!). So I am hoping Angelina has learned from her years plus she went to NYU to study film making. Hopefully it is good.
As for Madonna directing; I know she is known for being bossy but I am sure she has one hell of an Assistant Director really tuning up everything.
i have wayyyyyyyyyy more faith in ms angelina jolie than i EVER had, or ever will have in madonna.
Omg! why would he get involve with the eccentric girl. I only wonder how they communicate, because she clearly has a problems on elaborating on subjects. Her style of fashion is so bland too, no sense of style of the enjoyment of life. It is so diiffcult to know if she is sad, happy or if she wants to be where she is present at the time. She seems like one of those girls that would go crazy and won’t let a guy lose
my last comment is meant for Kristen stewart, I don’t know how it fell under the angelia Jolie post
I think she will be great as a director. I am defintely interested in seeing her take behind the camera.
