Angelina Jolie Cast as UN Action Hero
Paramount has snagged Angelina for a thriller based on the life and times of Kathi Lynn Austin. Austin is an arms trafficking and terrorism expert that most recently worked for the United Nations Security Council. During her time with the UN, she undertook projects in Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia and Central America.
Angie’s longtime manager, Geyer Kosinski, said Angelina has long been interested in a reality based vehicle with franchise potential. Think the Bourne trilogy.
The drama will also focus on a fictional character inspired by real life arms dealer Victor Bout. Bout is a former KGB agent who illegally trafficked arms throughout the word. Based on the few details we have, Angelina’s character would likely hunt down the Bout-based character.
Don’t expect this project to go into production as quickly as some of her other movies. The Writer’s Guild is still on strike. They went back to the table today but it’s not looking good.
