Angelina Jolie and hubby Brad Pitt are rumored to be reuniting on set yet again for a new film. The Wrap reports that the hunky Hollywood star is in negotiations to play famed archeologist Richard Leakey, who became a defender of elephants against poachers in Kenya in the late '80s, in Jolie's upcoming drama Africa. The studio had no comment.
"I've felt a deep connection to Africa and its culture for much of my life, and was taken with Eric's beautiful script about a man drawn into the violent conflict with elephant poachers who emerged with a deeper understanding of man's footprint and a profound sense of responsibility for the world around him," Jolie said in a statement last September.
Forrest Gump's Eric Roth wrote the biopic, and Jolie will reteam with her Unbroken cinematographer Roger Deakins for the project, which may begin production this summer.
Brangelina famously co-starred in the hit film Mr. & Mrs. Smith but more recently teamed up for her upcoming movie By the Sea, which she also wrote and directed.
"Compared to Unbroken, this film is a walk in the park," Angelina told Du Jour magazine in November of working with her husband.
"The tricky thing is directing myself and directing Brad. It's hard, dramatic material, and we're balancing. It's a heavy film, and it's not easy for us. But even as you struggle through it, you're in the trenches together and you don't expect it to be easy. We're challenging each other, and that's a really good thing."
