Angelina has been everywhere this fall promoting Maria and campaigning for an Oscar nomination. Now, though, she’s in Paris, spending the last few days before the holidays working on her next film – Alice Winocour’s Stitches. Maddox is there with her too as, reportedly, he’s the third AD on the project.
As previously mentioned, Stitches focuses on three women and, presumably, their intersecting experiences. The film will be in French and English and Angelina’s character is called Maxine who is facing some kind of life or death crisis as she arrives for Paris Fashion Week. The prospect of Angelina in a film about fashion or situated in the fashion industry is, obviously, pretty alluring but given that Maxine is said to be an American filmmaker, fashion might be peripheral to her actual role.
Still, I do like the fashion we’re seeing so far in her costume. This hooded long black jacket is great on her. And the pants! This cut of pants – baggy but tailored, rolled up over boots…
Not a look that she favours in her personal life, but God I wish she would consider it.
Production on Stitches is scheduled to wrap at some point in January and if Angelina’s still shooting, I imagine at some point she’ll be flying back and forth, at least the first weekend of January, to attend the Golden Globes.
If she does get nominated for an Oscar – and remember, it’s a very tight race for Best Actress so this is not a forgone conclusion – award season will take up some of her time until March. And then I’m curious about her schedule for the rest of the year, and whether or not part of it will be taken up by Maude v Maude.
This is the project with Halle Berry in which they play rival spy/assassins that was announced over a year ago after a bidding war over the package. Warner Bros ended up with the deal but since then there have been no updates. The strikes last year no doubt messed things around but last year around this time Halle said they were scouting locations so it’ll be interesting to see if they can get it together and start filming in 2025. Because some of us would love to see Halle and Angie do what Wolfs couldn’t, bahahahaha.
