With the second movie she’s directed now in post-production, Angelina Jolie has lined up her next with By The Sea. She actually penned the script and plans on also directing and starring in it.

However, joining her will be her husband Brad Pitt, making this the first time that the two have worked together since 2005’s Mr and Mrs Smith. Unfortunately, there are no plot details available on By The Sea as of yet, but Universal have already picked up the rights and are clearly pleased with what Jolie has done with Unbroken.

That movie (which is set for a Christmas release) is based on the true story of Olympian and war hero Louis Zamperini and adapted from author Laura Hillenbrand’s bestseller. By The Sea on the other hand  is described as an intimate, character-driven drama, and Jolie and Pitt will also be producing it together.

Jolie made her feature directorial debut on In the Land of Blood and Honey, a love story set against the Bosnian War, which received a Golden Globe nomination following its release in 2011.

“I am very happy to continue my relationship with Donna and the entire Universal team as I finish Unbroken and begin work on By The Sea,” Jolie said in a statement. “They have created a very special place for storytellers, and I look forward to the continued passion and support they have provided to me as a filmmaker.”

Donna Langley, Chairman, Universal Pictures, adds: “Angelina continues to showcase her extraordinary storytelling abilities in front of and behind the camera and we are thrilled to extend our relationship with her on By the Sea. Angelina and Brad represent two of Hollywood’s brightest talents and we are excited to be a part of their collaboration on this powerful piece.” Are you looking forward to seeing By The Sea?
