I wholeheartedly agree...she cannot act. If JA played the part I wouldn't even want to see it. Now, I am looking forward to seeing it.
Oh yeah...and STOP WITH THE PITTING ALREADY. It' over. The fat lady has sang.

If this story is true, then Angelina was the right choice.

Jennifer Aniston hasn't demonstrated she can handle a serious role in a dramatic movie. Remember Derailed? Not good at the femme fatale thing! She should stick to comedy.Daniel Pearl's wife is bi-racial (half Black & half White. Angelina looks way more ethnic with her beautiful high cheekbones and full lips. She looks mixed.
Plus Angie's a very strong actress. She can handle playing the role of a stressed out pregnant woman who's husband is located in a war torn country being held captive. Angelina will definitely be able to apply her world UN travels and experiences to the role. Sorry Jen!

angelina jolie is definitely NOT a right choice for this movie. she might be good at action movies like tomb raider but absolutely not for such a serious movie as this one. Sure she might have the 'right skin colour' and 'sexy lips' or had more, for lack of a better word 'experience' in the film but Jennifer Aniston is much better actress for this considering the seriousness of the nature. Angie is a home-wrecker and she should be ashamed to flaunt her 'new found happiness' in front of jennifer. i mean, who in their right mind would do that other than a cold hearted, uncaring person.
Even without Africa, there are plenty of unfortuate orphans in America, and near-extinct animals. Maybe they should help their homeland first before going out and doing all the so called good deeds.

This article is about Plan B productions aka Brad Pitt giving this very dramatic
role to Angelina Jolie over Jennifer Aniston. It's not about Angelina
allegedly being a home-wrecker and therefore should not play Daniel Pearl's
wife in a movie. One thing doesn't have anything to do with the other.
Like Jennifer could even handle a role with this kind of magnitude.NOT!
BTW-Angelina & Marianne Pearl are friends. They were snapped eating at
restaurants together last year......could be Mariane who wants Angie for this role.

Why is Jolie taking any part in a film project that has any connection with Brad Pitt's Ex-Wife. Even if she wins an Oscar it will be it will be dogged in the media by the statement ' and the film was originally developed by Brad Pitt and his Ex-Wife Jennifer Aniston which the lead was which was intended for'.
