ANGELINA JOLIE and Brad Pitt are making working together something of a habit, if rumours that the husband-and-wife team are joining up for Jolie's forthcoming directorial project Africa prove to be true. A source close to the project has reportedly told The Wrap that Pitt is set to take on the lead role in the biopic (which was penned by Forrest Gump writer Eric Roth), starring as archaeologist Richard Leake, who became a staunch defender of elephants against poachers in Kenya in the Eighties.
The pair have just recently wrapped filming on By The Sea, which was written and directed by Jolie, in which the pair star as a couple whose relationship is given a new lease of life when they arrive in a quiet seaside town in France in the Seventies. "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 revealed late last year.
