Jolie on Sin City 2 (June 17, 2007)

Angelina Jolie Tells Cinematical 'Atlas Shrugged' is Stalled

I had a chance to speak with Angelina Jolie at the press junket for A Mighty Heart on Friday, and I asked her about a few of her upcoming (or potentially upcoming) projects. As for the one the fanboys care most about -- Sin City 2 -- she laughed when I asked her if she would do it, and then she smiled and simply said "It might be resurfacing." She had a little more to say about the adaptation of Atlas Shrugged, which is moving forward very slowly, despite having the Plan B powerhouse of Pitt and Jolie behind it. Angelina told me that the project is still on the table, but "the thing with Atlas is just, we all feel that it's one of those projects where if you can't do it right, you really can't touch it. So we have not had all the pieces come together. There's not been a director that's right to come on, or all of those elements. So until it does, you know, I certainly don't want to be a part of something that's just put together to hit 'this date.'"

Having spoken with Dan Futterman beforehand, who is working on some romantic comedy vehicles, I also told Angelina that it occured to me that she did relatively few comedy projects. Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Life or Something Like It were the only ones I could think of. "I'm really not funny," she said. "Archie [Panjabi] thinks I'm funny. Archie and I had a lot of laughs. Yeah, I really don't think I'm that good at comedy. I don't think I'd be very good at it. I think there are other actresses that do it really great. And they should, cause they'd be better, you know." We also talked about how she approaches accent work and some other stuff, which I'll be writing up in a full report as soon as I have time.

No doubt about it, Angelina Jolie is a dame to kill for, but could she literally be “A Dame to Kill For”? For over two years, the principal talent behind “Sin City” have been subtlety (and sometimes not so subtlety) dropping hints that they’d like Jolie for the title role of Ava Lord, the manipulative, conniving, fatally gorgeous force at the center of director Robert Rodriquez and Frank Miller’s “Sin City 2.”

In an interview two-years ago, actress Rosario Dawson even said that filming was being rescheduled to accommodate Jolie’s pregnancy.

So is Angelina going to be in “Sin City 2″?

“I don’t know,” the actress admitted when we caught up with her for an extended chat in France.

“I found the first ‘Sin City’ impressive, but I don’t know what they’re going to do with the next one to make [it] as original as the first one,” Jolie said.

But if there’s any trepidation at all on Jolie’s part as to whether or not Miller and Co. can keep the story fresh and invigorating, it’s not for lack of respect.

“I think he’s a genius,” Jolie said of Miller, who masterminded the original graphic novel and co-directed the first film. “I’d be curious [if offered].”

I have no useful information of any kind!

but oh god, do I *EVER* want Jolie to play Ava. Alba? Psh. She's a girl, not a woman. Jolie's not just bangable, she is--BAM!--actually physically imposing: tall, crazy cheekbones, lovely jawline, classy but fierce, shaped like a woman. And Ava is most definitely a woman--none of this useless narrow hipped chubby faced tween girl thing going on.

And Jolie stopped being creepy skinny. Give the woman a couple of weeks from any direction and she'll end up with a rockin' body. How? Oh, god. I don't care. It doesn't matter.

Jolie for Ava FTW. <3

(plus, Jolie's just nuts enough to pull the Ava thing off.)
