There has been talk of Tom Hardy playing Don McCullin in a movie for a while, but it has now been confirmed that Angelina Jolie is onboard to direct the new movie. It is being adapted by Gregory Burke, who wrote the screenplay for the acclaimed movie 71 about the Northern Ireland troubles, and is based on McCullin\u2019s biography, Unreasonable Behaviour.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

“I am humbled to have a chance to bring Don McCullin\u2019s life to film,” Jolie said in a press statement. “I was drawn to his unique combination of fearlessness and humanity \u2013 his absolute commitment to witnessing the truth of war, and his empathy and respect for those who suffer its consequences. We hope to make a film that is as uncompromising as Don\u2019s photography, about the extraordinary people and events he witnessed, and the rise and fall of a unique era in journalism.”<\/p>\n\t\t

Previously, Jolie directed First They Killed My Father, a harrowing tale of the brutality of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. \u201cHaving viewed Angelina\u2019s last film on Cambodia, and having spent so much time during the war there, I was very impressed at how she made such a powerful and accurate representation of the place at that time,\u201d McCullin told The Guardian. \u201cI feel as if I am in safe, capable and professional hands with her.\u201d She also made Unbroken, about a US Olympic track record holder who is held prisoner of war by the Japanese during the Pacific war.<\/p>\n

The movie is to be produced by Working Title alongside Tom Hardy\u2019s production company, Hardy Son & Baker, and the title and release date have yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n
