By the Sea

Angelina Jolie s Unbroken crashed on the rocks of the season last year after looking bonafide on paper. She ll be back with hubby Brad Pitt for a swoony tale of artists on holiday navigating their troubled relationship and a film said to be inspired by European cinema of the 1960s and 1970s. That sounds like an alluring mixture, to be sure. The film will open AFI Fest in November, a slot that it should be noted hasn t been much of a lucky charm for hopefuls such as Love & Other Drugs, J. Edgar, Hitchcock, Saving Mr. Banks and A Most Violent Year in recent memory.
