Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt News: Couple Set To Work Together Again In New 'Africa' Film

Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may be reunited on the set of a movie once again, E! Online reported recently.

Pitt is currently in talks to play archaeologist Richard Leakey in Jolie's upcoming drama film "Africa."

Pitt's character – if the negotiations are successful – is a defender of elephants against poachers in Kenya in the late 1980s.

"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, as quoted by E! Online.

Eric Roth, who worked on the award-winning film "Forrest Gump," wrote the biopic.

Jolie is set to team up again with her cinematographer Roger Deakins from her film "Unbroken." The project may start its production this summer.

The Brangelina duo starred together in the hit film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2005. They also worked together again in her recent film "By The Sea," which Jolie wrote and directed.

"Compared to 'Unbroken,' this film is a walk in the park," Angelina told Du Jour magazine in November on the matter of working with Pitt again.

"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," she said.

Pitt won an Oscar for producing "12 Years a Slave" and previously worked with Skydance on "World War Z." He was also part of the lead cast of the World War 2-film "Fury," with co-stars SHia LeBeouf and Logan Lerman.
