Angelina Jolie: Facing Ban from Bosnia – Directorial debacle

Angelina Jolie started shooting for her still untitled debut film based on the backdrop of the Bosnian war in Budapest last week. Soon the filming crew with the cast was to head to Bosnia to continue their shooting for the film. But for the time being Jolie’s venture has landed into some trouble with the Bosnian ministry.

The Oscar winning actress has been denied the access to shoot the film in Bosnia as according the ministry the application seeking for the permission for shooting of the film is incomplete as the production house did not submit the film’s screenplay. On the other hand the women Victims of War association has been lambasting the storyline of the film.

According to the association the film is insensitive as it deals with a Muslim woman who falls in love with her rapist a Bosnian man. However, source of the film’s unit told Us Magazine.com that the film does not have a plot of a love story between a rapist and his victim. But it is a love story of a man and a woman whose relationship evolves and changes because of the Bosnian war that lasted for three years (1992 to 1995).

The mag’s source continues to state that these kinds of rumors are just a ploy to sabotage Jolie’s film. So to clear the air, the production house has sent the script to the Bosnian cultural ministry and now seeks the permission to shoot their film in the country. (ENSNN)
