Angelina Jolie planning film about the Afghanistan war

Actress turned director Angelina Jolie has some new ideas lined up for her next project...

With her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood & Honey, coming out soon, interest has been building around what Angelina Jolie will likely be doing next. Well, it seems she’s got the directing bug for now, as her plans of a movie set in the Afghan war have been revealed.
The film, if made, will be a war movie set in the war-torn nation, but plot details are not yet being talked about. Jolie has
shown an interest in humanitarian work in the country over the past few years, visiting Afghanistan in 2008 and 2011.
The chances of this panning out depend almost entirely on the success of Blood & Honey, which isn’t in any way guaranteed, considering the challenging subject matter and not insubstantial language barrier (it will be released in its original Bosnian/Serbian/ Croatian dialect).
