Will direct, produce Netflix film
Netflix strikes a deal with Jolie to direct and produce First They Killed My Father, based on a memoir of the same name by Ung. This is the latest example of investing in their own quality programming online, instead of streaming other studios’ programming. Jolie, deeply affected by the book, is determined to turn it into a movie:
Films like this are hard to watch but important to see. They are also hard to get made. Netflix is making this possible, and I am looking forward to working with them and excited that the film will reach so many people.
This sounds like it will be a good movie with a rarely heard about and important subject matter. I would really like to see it.
God bless Angelina JOlie Pitt , love and success at everything she does.
A lot of people in Hollywood say they want to make content that makes a difference. They say this, but Angelina does it. I have a lot of respect for her.
I was expecting her big come back as she has been disappear from big screen since long but Netflix no.
Go Netflix. I’m stoked for their success. I admire them like I admire Tesla and Apple.
This sounds like a wonderful project that suits Jolie’s passion perfectly. I think she will do it justice. Pitt is also doing a
film for Netflix. I do hope that Jolie gets to do Africa. That is a film I have hoped would be made for years now and I think she is the perfect choice to bring it to life on the silver screen.
