Brad and Angelina Going Into Business Together
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have tackled many projects together - promoting environmental awareness, supporting New Orleans reconstruction, raising four kids - and now its time for TV.
The Hollywood Reporter announced today that Brad, 43 and Angelina, 32 are teaming up for their first production project, a new series for HBO. Untitled, the show will take a behind-the-scenes look at an international aid organization and record the lives of humanitarian workers who put their lives in danger in order to help others.
The series is being written by Scott Burns, who co-wrote The Bourne Ultimatum and produced Al Gore's Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Jolie, Pitt and Burns are executive producing. Jolie's longtime manager also serves as co-executive producer.
The series has been a passion project for Jolie since she did the 2003 feature "Beyond Borders," a drama about disaster-relief workers in war-torn countries.
Brad and Angelina are extremely active humanitarians. Together through the Jolie-Pitt foundation - launched a year ago - they have supported a number of international aid organizations, including Doctors Without Borders and Global Action for Children, each have received a $1 million donation.
