The former spouses have remained distant since their divorce proceedings began. Now, a Hollywood producer hopes to bridge that gap, casting them as on-screen lovers.<\/p>\n

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may potentially reunite on screen for a new film. However, a significant pay gap between the two \u2014 alongside their ongoing estrangement \u2014 could make this collaboration unlikely.<\/p>\n

\n

Angelina and Brad’s potential on-screen reunion faces more than just professional hurdles. The two first collaborated in 2005 while filming “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and began dating sometime after. They exchanged vows in August 2014 in an intimate ceremony in Correns, France.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Before they began dating, Angelina had already adopted Maddox and Zahara. In 2006, Brad officially adopted both children, and together, they raised a family of six \u2014 Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, the Hollywood duo’s union was short-lived. The actress filed for divorce after two years of marriage in September 2016. Their relationship’s unraveling continued long after their separation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Although Angelina and Brad filed for divorce years ago, the process remains incomplete, despite being declared legally single in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A judge allowed them to return to legal single status before finalizing their divorce settlement. This process, known as bifurcation, enabled both to pursue other relationships and even remarry if they chose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Brad\u00a0shared<\/u><\/a>\u00a0his thoughts on the ordeal in an interview, “I heard one lawyer say, ‘No one wins in court \u2014 it’s just a matter of who gets hurt worse.'”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He explained that the process forces each side to spend significant time trying to justify their position, which only fuels bitterness. The actor chose not to participate in that negativity, and his former partner felt the same way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The legal struggle between Angelina and Brad has dragged on for eight years, involving disputes over custody, finances, and a lawsuit over their former French winery, Ch\u00e2teau Miraval.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In August 2024, a source connected to Brad\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0it’s “pretty shocking” that the divorce remains unresolved after all this time. Meanwhile, another insider remained optimistic, hoping the former couple could align on finalizing the divorce while the Miraval dispute continues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Their ongoing legal battle also involved custody matters. In 2018, a court set a plan for Brad to see his children, excluding Maddox, who was legally an adult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In 2021, his visitation rights increased, but the ruling was overturned when Judge John Ouderkirk was removed for not disclosing a past business connection with Brad’s legal team. The court found this violated “ethical obligations.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A source close to Brad expressed disappointment, believing the situation was harmful to the children and caused delays for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Currently, Brad reportedly\u00a0has<\/u><\/a>\u00a0“virtually no contact” with his older kids. He still sees his younger twins, Vivienne and Knox, though his involvement has been limited recently due to filming commitments in Europe. A source\u00a0revealed<\/u><\/a>\u00a0that Angelina “has the kids most of the time,” but Brad retains visitation rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Signs of distance between Brad and his children have become more apparent. Shortly after turning 18 in May 2024, Shiloh\u00a0legally dropped “Pitt”<\/u><\/a>\u00a0from her surname, becoming Shiloh Jolie. The court granted the request without any complications or formal hearing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Her Zahara also distanced herself, using the name Zahara Jolie at a sorority event in November 2023. Similarly, Vivienne went by Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill for “The Outsiders,” where she worked as a production assistant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The growing distance between Brad and his children mirrors the unresolved tension between him and Angelina. Although a resolution seems possible, it remains out of reach. In July 2024, a source\u00a0disclosed<\/u><\/a>\u00a0that “both sides are still talking but “it’s not done yet.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Angelina’s attorney, Paul Murphy, urged Brad to “end the fighting” by dropping the winery lawsuit. The conflict began when Angelina sold her stake in the winery to Tenute del Mondo in October 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Brad sued her in February 2022,\u00a0claiming<\/u><\/a>\u00a0she sold to a “stranger” in secret, violating their agreement. In response, Angelina’s attorney\u00a0said<\/u><\/a> she wants to “finally put their family on a clear path toward healing” but will defend herself if Brad doesn’t withdraw the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite their ongoing conflict, a producer is hoping to reunite Brad and Angelina on screen with a tempting offer. Danny Rossner claims to have secured $60 million, essentially offering a “blank check” to entice the former couple to prioritize their craft over their differences and star in a film together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, considering their long-standing disputes over custody, finances, and their winery, the idea remains a tough sell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Their strained relationship was evident during the 2024 Venice Film Festival, where organizers deliberately scheduled their movie premieres \u2014 “Wolfs” for Brad and “Maria” for Angelina \u2014 on separate days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ahead of the event, artistic director Alberto Barbera\u00a0explained<\/u><\/a>, “There is no way that they can cross each other at the Lido,” noting Angelina would attend on the 29th and leave immediately for Telluride, while Brad would arrive on the 31st.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite their carefully orchestrated separation at the Venice Film Festival, Danny remains determined to bring Brad and Angelina together for his long-cherished passion project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Set during World War II at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France, the film draws inspiration from the hotel\u2019s actual owner. Rossner imagines Brad portraying Emmanuel Martinez, the hotel\u2019s proprietor, with Angelina as Emma Digard, his enchanting mistress and muse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The script demands intimate performances, with Danny\u00a0admitting<\/u><\/a>, “There is a love scene \u2026 It’s a torrid one, too. It’s not salacious but there are very heavy love scenes. [Martinez] had a wife and he had a mistress.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A potential challenge lies in pay disparities. The producer\u00a0acknowledged<\/u><\/a>, “Right now, I think, Brad Pitt’s in the $20 to $25 million range [per movie] and Angelina Jolie is in the $15 million range,” which could complicate negotiations if the project ever reaches that stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rossner\u00a0divulged<\/u><\/a>\u00a0that he’s “prepared to offer” around “50-percent” above their typical rates. This would mean up to $37.5 million for Brad, but only $22 million for Angelina.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Whether\u00a0Brad Pitt<\/a>\u00a0and Angelina can overcome their differences for Danny’s project remains uncertain, especially with lingering disputes and unequal compensation on the table. Despite the allure of a significant payday and the potential for a cinematic reunion, the odds seem stacked against this fractured partnership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
