SCRIPT RUMORS FORCE ANGELINA JOLIE'S DIRECTORIAL DEBUT OUT OF BOSNIA


Protests by women's groups has forced actress Angelina Jolie to cut short production of her directorial debut in Bosnia and move shooting of the romance to a new location in Hungary. Jolie's feature film debut centers on a love story between a Serbian man and a Bosnian woman who get separated during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War during which 100,000 people were killed.

The film stars Rade Šerbedžija and Zana Marjanovic and Jolie was even able to get her significant other, Brad Pitt, to do a cameo. Jolie had originally planned to shoot scenes for her movie for about 10 days in Bosnia, but now her crew will film the scenes in just three or four days, said Edin Sarkic, Jolie's Bosnian producer. 


Rumors broke out that the film was actually about a rape victim falling in love with her rapist. That rumor set off protests from woman’s organizations who were unhappy with the content and, though the rumors proved untrue, the production decided to move from Bosnia to Budapest. Apparently, once the woman’s organizations got wind of the rumored storyline, they put pressure on city officials to have the film’s permits revoked. They were successful and though the permits were reinstated a few days earlier, producers decided it would just be easier to move the production to Budapest where they were filming some scenes anyway.
