Angelina Jolie is taking her kids to the big screen! The Hollywood star revealed that she hired her two sons, Maddox, 21, and Pax, 18to work on her new film ‘Without Blood’ with Salma Hayek and Demian Bichir.
The 47-year-old actress, who recently had the support of her children during a “difficult” personal experience, is directing the upcoming production and wanted her children to work behind the scenes on the film.
Angelina told People that Maddox and Pax “worked hard” filming the project in Italy, working in the assistant director department. This isn’t the first time the actress has worked with one of her children, as Pax previously shot stills for the 2017 film ‘First They Killed My Father’ directed by Angelina.
“I’ve always loved her as a director, but I think this might be her best or one of her best,” Salma Hayek said of Angelina.
This time, the filmmaker embarks on “Without Blood”, which has been described as “an unforgettable fable set in the aftermath of unidentified conflict”, exploring “universal truths about war, trauma, memory and healing”.
The film is based on the 2002 novel by Alessandro Barrico, and it will be Angelina’s fifth project as a director, having made her debut in the 2011 film “In the land of blood and honey”, followed by “Unbroken, By the Sea” in which she also starred, and last time performing “First They Killed My Dad”.
