The publicity stunt of a producer proposing to the duo Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt to reform on screen

In the midst of a legal battle against his ex-wife, Brad Pitt categorically refused to film again with Angelina Jolie, despite an offer of several million dollars from producer Danny Rossner. In an interview given to Daily Mail, those close to Brad Pitt declared to explain this refusal: « All the money in the world wouldn’t allow Brad to appear in a movie with Angelina again. It would certainly spark public interest, but it’s not something they would even consider for a moment. They are currently sworn enemies, so Brad wouldn’t stoop to being paid any amount of money to talk to Angie on screen. She has caused him so much grief and doesn’t even want those around her to talk about her. »

This version is plausible given the conflicting relationships between superstars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, yesterday husband and wife in the city and today divorced. But according to the Daily Mailan anonymous source would have described this miraculous offer of a few million dollars as « clever publicity stunt » et « something neither party had considered », specifying that there was « never had a real offer ».

Producer Danny Rossner reportedly claimed to have raised nearly $60 million (€57 million) from his financial backers to entice the two stars to sign. « Right now I think Brad Pitt is in the $20-25 million range (€19-23 million per film) and Angelina Jolie is in the $15 million range (€14 million) . We are ready to offer approximately 50% above the going rate »he declared to the Daily Mail. The film would include love scenes « intense »which Danny Rossner sees as a challenge: « There’s a love scene… It’s hot too »he declared, specifying: « It’s not salacious but there are very intense love scenes. » The producer, completing what looks more like a marketing stunt than a reasonable scenario, concluded with a metaphor of dubious taste: « If we can get a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can put their differences aside and come together to build a bridge and make this movie ».

For the record, it is perhaps useful to return to what we could call the beginning of the end of a Hollywood couple who will have been the joy of celebrity magazines for a good decade. On September 14, 2016, the entire Jolie-Pitt family – Brad, Angelina and their six children – left Nice for Los Angeles aboard their plane. But during this flight, Brad Pitt, tipsy, flies into a rage and attacks his wife and children. During this altercation, he allegedly « spilled beer » on his ex-wife, and « beer and red wine on the children. » But it doesn’t stop there. According to Angelina Jolie, the actor came to blows. He would have it « grabbed her head and shook her » before « push her against the wall of the airplane toilet”. At that time, « the children intervened », the court document states. In rage, Brad Pitt would then « strangled one of the children and punched another in the face ». Some « asked him to stop »others « were crying ». Since that day, relations between Brad Pitt and his children have been so difficult that one of them, upon reaching the age of majority, asked to change his last name.
