    Jolie and Almodovar discuss future collaboration

    By MIKE CIDONI LENNOX | Associated Press – Sun, Jan 15, 2012

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Don't be stunned to see a future collaboration between superstar American actress — and now director — Angelina Jolie and revered Spanish director Pedro Almodovar.

    The two were among attendees at the annual Golden Globes foreign-language seminar on Saturday at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, where directors nominated in the category discussed this year's competition.

    The entries include Jolie's "In the Land of Blood and Honey," about family strife and abuse of women in Bosnia, and Almodovar's psycho-thriller "The Skin I Live In."

    Unlike other celebrities at the event, Jolie surprised reporters by showing up early, relaxed and gracious as she posed for photographers and talked about what inspired her to move behind the camera for "Blood and Honey."

    At one point, Jolie half-joked to a Spanish reporter that she was angry with Almodovar because he'd yet to hire her for a role. When Almodovar was given that news by an Associated Press reporter — within earshot of Jolie — the actress jumped into the fray.

    "I am right here," Jolie noted. "Yes, because you have never given me a job."

    "Oh my God," said a flustered Almodovar. "No, no don't worry, you are joining now. Absolutely."

    "So one day," Jolie responded, "when all these cameras are gone, we find a film together."

      Funny how everyone is making all these "she'll hook up with him" comments. Pedro Almodovar is gay, people.

      Love the way Angie understands the business of film and the use of the press attention. Almodovar is mostly storytelling genius. Angie can actually act. A film with both these talents? I'd go.

      I'd hope Pedro Almodovar would focus more on putting together a solidly engaging, interesting script rather than whipping up a project just so he can work with Angelina Jolie.

      "The Skin I Live In" proved he's a master stylist, but it left me cold story-wise. Didn't hold much of the humanity, humor or passion we've come to expect from him.

        agreed. Like I said, "mostly storytelling genius". Not every one of his flicks is a gem.

        it's 'pidgin', not 'pigeon'. And conversationally, her syntax was acceptable.

      Angelina Jolie should be the First Lady of the USA! She does more in one day for people that Michele Obama has done in three years. And, I bet she can do more Jumpin Jacks!

        Including making out with her brother on TV, why do think she can only adopt children from other countries. she is crazy, and has little respect for others. Just ask the rape victims from Kossavo.

      that is one Pedro Almodovar movie that I wont watch. He is such and great director why would he use someone who cannot act in his movie. funny that she is now begining to be in movies that might sell.
