CANNES, France -- Angelina Jolie has announced she will take a year off from filmmaking to spend more time with her family.
"We're getting work out of the way at the moment," said the 31-year-old actress to AP reporters, who has been shooting the thriller "Wanted" in Prague, Czech Republic.
After that, she said, "I take two months off, then I work for two months. Then I take a year off."
Jolie and Pitt, 43, have four children now. One naturally, three adopted.
"I have four children and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment," the Ho Chi Minh City Law newspaper quoted her as saying in March.
Now Brangelina are together in Cannes to promote "A Mighty Heart," in which Jolie plays Mariane Pearl, widow of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Pearl was kidnapped by Islamic terrorists while reporting on a story in Pakistan in 2002 and was beheaded.
Plan B entertainment, Brad Pitt's production company that includes Dede Gardner and Pitt as producers had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday.
Pearl and Jolie are now friends.
Jolie commented in Cannes on Pakistan, where she had visited three times as a United Nations goodwill ambassador: "I have a deep love for that part of the world, and I'm saddened to see that every day it seems to be breaking more and more apart," she told reporters Tuesday reports the AP.
The actress said Daniel Pearl's horrific death will not stop her from going. "I don't want to live inside a box," she said to AP reporters.

They are private when it comes on showing emotion in public. There are so many people feel that and I am one of them.
You can not just suck up your partner face just to show your in love. They don't have to show the world how much they love each other. That is between two people. Looking back on how she was with previous relationships, it was vocal and she show too much emotions in public but did not last long.
Now, pershaps Angelina wants to take different approach on her present relationship and it seems working for both of them. They are so compatible and they both have the same passion and focus in life. They are mature, sophisticated and try to have normal fulfilling life even there's always papparazi lingering around them.
Angie and Brad don't look like they're in love? You're kidding, right? Did you not see the way he hovers around her? How they were constantly holding hands? The smoldering looks they give each other that are captured on film? The loving way she cradled the back of his head when they were sitting in the limo waiting to leave the premiere site? Holy crap. It was like fully-dressed porn! I know grown women who were swooning. Those two are so in love that I'm really amazed how anyone could NOT see that. If Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie are your example of a couple not in love...could someone please not be in love with me in the exact same way?
What an ethereal beauty...men and women are in love with her..and a good mom to her kids too..Britney, only 5 years younger, should learn a few lessons from Angie..so can selfcentered Jennifer A., who is 8 years older!!
Love ya Angie!! And I am not ashamed to say Im a heterosexual soccer mom!!! Of course Brad is equally hot and altruistic!!

The two don't look at each other as if they're in love -- as if they're ultimately compatible. Body language. I have no clue, but that's what it seems to me.
