In the Land of Blood and Honey opens December 23.

Angelina Jolie on the cover of Newsweek

Angelina Jolie was recently interviewed by Newsweek and she landed on the cover for this prestigious current affairs magazine. Here she talks about her new film, In the Land of Blood and Honey, which is her directorial debut.

Jolie reportedly wrote this story in two days while being quarantined in the attic of their French home as she nursed a flu.

The problem is, a Crotian journalist is claiming that the Hollywood actress stole the concept of his story, which he wrote in 2007. James J. Braddock claims that Jolie has read his article and used it as an inspiration for the storyline of In the Land of Blood and Honey.

The movie is a love story set in wartime 1990s Bosnia where a girl named Aija falls in love with Daniijel–a Serb. She was raped and abused in prison. Or something to that effect.

Again, I don’t know the real story, but honestly I think that wartime stories like these are not uncommon. I think these have all happened in wars all over the globe. It even happened to Filipinas during the Japanese regime.

And also, many writers and artists have been inspired at one point in time by different people so it may be what happened to Jolie when she wrote the story.

I thought it kinda cool that a premier actress like Angelina could also write a screen play as well as direct a movie. But anyway, these things happen.

This is the second legal battle for Jolie. Earlier, her former nanny living at their French estate sued them for dismissal compensation after two years of service. The 45-year-old Ana Charlotiaux was fired for allegedly making too many sick leaves.

Last month, Jolie’s name was also dragged in murky waters when it was reported that she dealt with a mass murderer in Cambodia when she bought her properties there.
