Angelina's latest box office flop raises questions about her future marketability.
You have to give Angelina Jolie some credit. Only she can take a decent film, give a decent performance, but have a film completely bomb because her name is associated with it. This past weekend, A Mighty Heart came in 10th at the box office, making less than $4 million dollars. Looks like A Mighty Heart has joined the ranks of such classics as Howard the Duck, Glitter, Gigli, and Ishtar. How can this happen? Isn’t Angelina Jolie supposed to be the new age Mother Teresa?…

This is the first, good reviews, A list star and a brillant director can't save a good film from tanking. Make you think about a lot of things. Yes she (dare i say the name) is too big for a tiny good film about important issues.
78 - Daryl'sAnIdiot
I can't believe all the uninformed comments on this bored. Holy crap people! Instead of getting on here and bitching about something you obviously know nothing about DO SOME BLOODY RESEARCH!
Mariane Pearl and Jolie were friends BEFORE Pitt bought the rights to the book. She not only had script approval, but MARIANE PEARL CHOSE JOLIE TO PLAY THE ROLE HERSELF!! Have you got that or do you need smaller words? Or are you of the belief that Mrs. Pearl is a liar and is covering for Pitt and Jolie?
Mrs. Pearl trusts Jolie because they are friends with similar outlooks on the world they live in. She chose a FRIEND to play her in the movie, not a "white woman".
Just reading these comments makes me embarrassed to be an American. I'm willing to bet that the majority of the people here who are upset about Jolie playing a black woman are white people themselves. I'm black and I'm not upset in the least. On the contrary, I was happy to see someone who understood the issues and had actually been to Pakistan. On the other hand, you people only see the color of Mrs. Pearl's skin. It's painfully obvious that as a society we have advanced nowhere in HUMAN relations, let alone race relations.

Mariane probably had no script/casting approval because she sold the rights of her book to Plan B to make the film. But I have heard that she was asked often about the pre-production of the film and the casting of Angelina. When it came time to film, she told everyone on set that she trusted them and left without visting. She seems satisfied with Angelina's portrayal of her despite the criticism of casting. And I haven't read her book, so I don't know what references to race she made, but the film celebrates the friendship between people from so many different backgrounds working together to save Daniel Pearl's life.
And I do understand the frustration of black actors who felt that they were immediately overlooked for the part of Mariane, but I do not believe the decision was done maliciously to exclude black actors due to racism. It probably had more to do with Angelina being Brad's partner and her connections to Mariane as a friend.
But black actors should also celebrate the enormous strides they have made in film instead of focusing on the negative. In the last decade, so many black performers have been awarded Oscars and national recognition for performances. We are not living in classic Hollywood where the only parts black actors receive are as servants, maids and nannies. We have progressed so much and continue to do so.
I think there is so much focus always on the negative. What about the positive? The United States focuses way too much on race and by doing so, have created more divisions than mended races together. I don't think of myself as a white American. I'm just an American with a lot of different ethnic backgrounds mixed together. The labels are really ridiculous. I remember seeing Whoopi Goldberg on her stand-up say that she was tired of changing her name. It was from negro, to black to African American. And she asked: why did it have to keep changing? Was a pretty cute skit that is pretty relevant to how we label everyone.

Just found this online about the casting of Angelina directly from an interview with Mariane:
'WE HAD something to say that we knew we should say together!" So speaks the widowed Mariane Pearl, asked by Time to comment on how she felt about Angelina Jolie playing her in the film about the murder of her husband, journalist Daniel Pearl.
Mariane went on to add, "I have heard some criticism about her casting, but it is not about the color of your skin. It is about who you are. I asked her to play the role - even though she is way more beautiful than I am - because I felt a real kinship to her. She put her whole heart into it, and I think she understood why we should do this movie."
Maybe this clears it up some for people who are going crazy about the casting...
81 - Ray Ellis
The saddest commentary is so many of these "pundits" know everything about Angeline Jolie and Brad Pitt. I wonder how many of them (including the author of the original article)have a clue as to what the movie is about. And I wonder how many of them could even tell you who Daniel Pearl was, and why it's important we not forget him, or his wife.
82 - daryl d
I see Ray has a lot of reading comprehension issues, as usual. I DID see the movie, liked the movie, and know the subject matter is important. My point is that Jolie overshadowed a good movie and everything it was supposed to represent.
83 - Nina
I have to agree with the article, it is subjective but also spot on. Darlyl, though Brad and Aniston may not have been together at some openings they were still together in Cannes and remember it was after the pregnancy that he and Jolie admitted their relationship so I think in a way Janice is right people would never have seen that movie in droves had Brad admitted that he and Jolie were then an Item.
My quarrel with these two is that they are too manipulative. I like Janice's post, it was sport on. Remember before Cannes they released details of how much they were donating to Darfur and new Orleans, how cheap is that???
Then the way they subject their kids to all those flashbulbs when the kids seem traumatised by it all like Maddox and Zahara in India and recently Pax and Brad in NY. Grown up celebs have admitted that being hounded like that is traumatic but what about children.
Brad and Angelina are very selfish, even this movie is more about Angelina Jolie than Pearl, am glad it tanked. All their charity is about them and making a name. All those interviews Angelina gave about her brood to remind us what a good kind person she is sucked and turned more people off. I sensed that 2007 was not going to be their year and it has not been. Angelina is now box office poison and all her movies are going to tank like this one.
I can bet she will soon be having a baby or going to Gambia to adopt to keep her name in the papers. I hope sh enow realises she is not as well loved as she is famous.
Besides can someone looks as horrible as those two when they are truly happy? I mean even if she lost her mother, she had started looking like that in India, now she claims she got a nutritionist as if she cannot order a pizza. I am so sick of those two.
84 - Claire
Ray I saw the movie but I just could not get Angelina out of my head long enough to think she is Marianne pearl. Didn't like the accent either. Actually, her whole performance was mediocre. But that is just my opinion.
85 - Ray Ellis
Au contraire, daryl. I read your article. The problem with it is this--you didn't touch on any of the issues the movie presented. You chose instead to focus on Angelina Jolie in the role. As you do with all your (ahem) writing, you chose to go for the cheap shot. You want to be a gossip columnist, fine. Even at that, you're going to need something to back up your assumptions. Then again, you are becoming very adept at--how shall I say this?--shilling. Hyperbole, however, does not journalism make.
86 - daryl d
Really, Ray? For someone who supposedly dislikes my writing so much, you seem to follow my articles around everywhere and comment on them. I'm honored by your obsession with me, but is it going a little too far?
87 - Ray Ellis
Unlike you, I like to know why I hate something. Call it my version of a neighborhood watch, if you will, but I really have a low bullshit threshold.
88 - fishy
Noone really knows about jolie came to get this part exactly, well apart from the obvious she was sleeping with the producer. I don't believe everything pitt, pearl and jolie say. In the same way I don't buy everything Aniston says or any other actors say when they have a film to sell. I smell something fishy since that play date thing started to surface. It seemed so unreal that pearl would personally contact jolie to talk about a play date. It was strange. My guess is Plan B has set it up because pitt wanted his girlfriend to play pearl. The women hit it off and filming began. I think jolie is too indeed to big for this film.
89 - dinigi
Totally agree with Janice. And the only reason Marianne said all the nice comments about Angelina, what else was she supposed to say to the man who's producing her movie which needs to be told.
90 - Sean Paul Mahoney
Darryl, you hit the nail on the head with this one. Her film resume has been one crap-tacular film after another.
And did you see her on Anderson Cooper? She was bblinking non-stop, talking in circles, and generally scaring the crap out of me. Good for her for being comitted to her causes but as an actress and personality she's a mess.
91 - ajiaw
Great comments from the Antis, especially Janice. You might like to check out the medialady forum. It was set up as a response to the demented fans attacking people all over the net for expressing an opinion.

Jane " re: Dear Alex, you may think we all bleed red…
I bleed red. All the people I’ve ever known bleed red. Are there any other options available? How ironic that you sound like a return to the days when Charles Drew protested the practice of racial segregation of blood donated by different races.
Re: that's a very convenient way to deny yourself of responsibility that comes with being black!!!!
Is there a rule book handed out to black people at birth, puberty or some other life point?
Re: Read more Maya Angelou books please.
Read ‘em all. What I take from them is that people have a right to define themselves as they wish, to live their lives as they wish. Perhaps you missed the significance of the metaphor of the caged bird. Try some Jean Toomer, or the marvelously subtle Krazy Kat cartoons (e.g. Krazy & Ignatz: The Complete Full-Page Comic Strips, by George Herriman, edited and annotated by Bill Blackbeard, designed by Chris Ware; Fantagraphics)
Re: THERE ARE MANY FINE BLACK ACTRESSES IN HOLLYWOOD WHO COULD HAVE PLAYED PEARL.
The movie has already been made, so your point is moot. But why do you insist on limiting the choices to Hollywood black actresses (except for Sophie Okenado). Why no Latins, for example?
It is odd that you want to insist on viewing Pearl as black, denying the totality of her ancestry, especially when black media never interviewed her or claimed her, or particularly cared about her life until Hollywood decided to make a movie about her.
Re: Alex would it okay if George Clooney plays Stevie WOnder? Ask yourself that question!
Depends. Is it okay with you that Kate Blanchett is going to play Bob Dylan in an upcoming movie? Ask yourself that question!
Morgan Freeman has been cast to play Nelson Mandela in an upcoming film, and Forest Whitaker righteously won an Oscar for his portrayal of Idi Amin. But shouldn’t you protest the fact that Africans were not cast in these roles?
Myra " RE: I think the failure of 'A Mighty Heart' goes to the casting. Angelina Jolie is a talented actress (hence films like Gia and Girl, Interrupted), but it seemed to be a case of casting someone too big for the part.
Great point. This was actually brought up during the review of the film on Ropert and Ebert, but the critics noted that after a while they just settled in and enjoyed the performance. But this kind of thing affects any actor who is a distractingly larger than life public figure. In the end, I guess it depends on whether the actor has talent, like Jolie, or is a terrible actress, such as Madonna, who couldn’t even carry off a cameo in one of the last Bond films.
Re: When you sell private pics of your children and open doors that should be shut, you are going to create a frenzy.
Jolie and others can’t win here. If they don’t provide the pictures, and so try to take some control over what happens, their kids end up being stalked and terrorized by photographers.
Ray Ellis " re: Doesn't biracial by definition mean )in this case) half-black and half-white?
By this definition, Marianne Pearl is not biracial. This is really a meaningless social definition that means that you have one parent who can be identifiably pigeon-holed as non-white and another parent who can be pigeon-holed as white, without regard to the actual details of their heritage.
The father of volleyball player and model Gabrielle Reece was a black man from Trinidad, but because he is dead and unknown and because Reece “looks” white, she is treated as white. She has always acknowledged her father and even has a tattoo that honors him, but this still does not get her an invite to the BET Awards.
RE: Why does having a white woman portray her insult the black half? A lot of us are multiracial--it's better to embrace all one's ancestry.
Well said.

THANK YOU.
94 - mench
Please. I think we hate to see 2 people who God created so beautifully even with all their flaws get together and be mindless of what people think. We are jealous. Let's admit it. YOU who hate Angie for hooking up with Brad - Will you say NO to Brad if he pursues you and can we blame you if you fall in love with him? Seriously? Divorce is a dime a dozen especially in Hollywood. Leave them alone. Maybe now they think they're in love with each other, maybe tomorrow they'll see someone younger and more beautiful. It's NOT karma. It's how the Rich, the Famous, and the Bored lives, and they sure don't have time to do blogs.
95 - mench
Angelina acting as a somehow dark woman? Really this is acting. And actors of all colors should know this - if they are really ACTORS. Please, I'm a minority myself and I feel sickened whenever the race card is brought up.
96 - Janice
Daryl I think Brad is in too deep to dump Angelina. She will dump him because I don't think this relationship or whatever it is will last. It is also true that he has lost most of his appeal because he comes off looking pussy whipped in this relationship and no woman likes a pussy whipped man. So Mench #94 even if Brad pursued me with a million dollars and an Island, I would still turn him down unless of course he only had six weeks to leave. LOL
Seriously, I don't think he is the attraction he was before Brangelina. He looks so stupid and his good looks have faded, the food they eat in that house must have something nasty as all members of the family look too miserable apart from an occasional smile. Does Brad have any friends anymore? I guess Angelina has weaned him off the few he had who were not Aniston’s. He has never had much character and morphs into his girl friends. His hair colour now is always matched to Angelina’s. What a pathetic sod. By the time she is through with him, he will not know his name. Hopefully we do not see 'Brad Jolie' on the accreditations in the 'The assassination of Jesse James' LOL
Ajiaw #91 thanks for the invite.
97 - Jennifer
Janice... LOL, that is so funny. I agree. There seems to be this overblown brainwashing of the American public that Brad Pitt is somehow not just a reasonably good looking Midwestern guy with a nice boyish smile, but the very 'archetype' of the ideal man. This just isn't so. It would be funny if it weren't so disturbing how he has morphed himself into the male replicant model of any woman he was with in the public eye, which he then uses to strategically exalt himself as 'the divine male'in the public consiousness.
He seems insecure, manipulative, shallow and extremely narcissistic to me, also weak. No, I would not leave a good man for him. He's played the 'pretty boy' card to death at this point. It's like a 40-some woman trying to do the one-note samba of when she was a blushing ingenue. He has not evolved. He appears to be a very hollow man who exists only on appearances and reflections. This would not be attractive to me. I like handsome men but I want them to have a soul, their own soul, not mine.
Sadly, I agree, it will probably be A.J. who leaves him not the other way around. It would follow along her dialectic lines of embodying either the powerful/destructive mistress who cowed her and her mother or to usurp the father's role and become the cheater/abandoner. With her (judging by her actions and statements over the years) it is always about power and a pathological need to exert dominance. This aspect even comes through convincingly in her film roles.
Brad Pitt got more than he bargained for when he left a good stable marriage for high-voltage mid-life crisis adventure. He got a psychopath, and he is looking worse for the wear. There is something kinked about a woman who cannot enjoy a good piece of man-steak without the gravy of his woman's blood and tears on top. This is all about conquest and power.
Speaking of patterns, how many relationships has A.J. laid siege to and put herself in between, only to chuck the man later? Does Brad Pitt feel his godhood will make him immune? Ultimately she will have to humble and destroy him. It is her way.
I think Brad Pitt is weak and shallow, easily led, and his hero/leading man status is going to be undermined the longer he is in this misguided relationship/advertising campaign of global domination via mass visitation and adoptions. I do not think he is an inherently bad person. I would almost feel sorry for him, but he made his choices, sacrificed his wife and marriage. He was even so narcissistically insecure to be ruffled when his ex-wife was dating a model-handsome Englishman. He lost more respect points for that. I saw right through that frantic flurry of petticoats. So he was upset he does 'cocaine'? Well, A.J. does 'heroin'. It was so transparent.
He wants no competition as 'the fairest one of all' more in the eyes of the public. "Get out of my 'mirror space' you British wanker!" ;) He is a very vain man. The comparitively more oafish Vince Vaughn was a more fitting replacement in his eyes because it gave the impression that 'he' was the ultimate and the best Jennifer could get after him. This is not behavior from what I would consider 'an ideal man I would 'give anything' to be with. Quite the contrary.
And to those who suggest any who do not bow down and worship mindlessly are just mad-ravening jealous, I have this to say: Jealous? Indeed not. Enjoying an invigorating debate of ideas with interesting people in virtual space? Hell, yeah.
98 - DEAR ALEX
Alex, the bottom line is you might not be pissed, but other black folks are. So deal with it.
99 - Let's us be honest
IF PEARL IS DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT EMBRACING EVERYTHING, THEN DON'T PLAY TO THE PR. Come up with something more intelligent than 'i have picked my friend because she understands me' or 'I trust her' or 'she understands the world we are living in'. THAT IS AN INSULT TO FINE BLACK ACTORS WHO COULD HAVE PLAYED THIS ROLE. All her reasons are..sorry very very lame. THERE WAS NO AUDITION FOR THIS ROLE. WHY SOPHIE OKENADO WAS NOT ASKED? SHE IS MIXED, LOOKS LIKE PEARL AND HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR. Is it because she's not pearl's friend or is it because she does not undertstand terrorism? She is an intellingent being (so as other black actress) who could have rocked this part!
100 - LL
This is bigger than Pearl and the brangelina and they sure have screwed it up!
101 - My thought
Sophie was not asked because she wasn't sleeping with the famous producer. Simple mates.
102 - Paul
Move beyond the mighty tanked and see brangelina for what they are. They are A listers who hire intelligent people around them helping them to create good pr. They have a film to see and their people have fucked it up real nice for them. They may be good people but a lesson must be learned here. SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL. This is a fantastic lesson for Hollywood. Please don't go down this road again. We don't buy everthing you tell us.
103 - Paul
Learn from gweneth paltrow about how to behave in the lime light.
She has successfully separate private/public. Her husband is a major rock star. Does she talk about him and her kids all the time. NO. She's too savvy to play that game. Learn brangelina. Pick up that phone and ask your ex Brad. She is well respected and her life is not a circus. Most importantly she cares about the world, just as much as you are.
104 - brownies
Yes Gwen is an excellent example of how to play hollywood.
105 - Irony
FACT: All the morons who say why not "Thandie Newton" or why not "Sophie Okendo" would not even KNOW about this movie if Thandie or Sophie were in it because NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEM. This movie would've gotten NO PUBLICITY with them in it. This movie would not of done as well with them, it would of done WORSE!
This movie would not do well with ANYONE because it's not MAINSTREAM and most Americans are too STUPID AND SHALLOW to see a movie like this.
106 - bcik
So what all her films bomb? I don't think it has anything to do with money! It's to do with how she has successfully done her job as well respected actress and keeping her family as private as she can. What has it got to do with her box office. You've missed the point altogether.
AMERICANS ARE TOO STUPID! OH god, can you be anymore arrogant? Yes we are too stupid to notice casting a white chick in a black woman role is wrong. LOL
107 - 789
The person who wrote all the nasty things about American people obviously did not go to college. It shows because the language he is using is vile and his reasons are retarded. Americans are stupid? What are you? Didn't even make it to high school did you?
108 - 789
And why did you bring Aniston into this? Are you not over the divorce or the stupid Bermuda's triangle? Someone has left you for a younger person? I guess so huh. This post has nothing to do with Aniston. Get over your heartache.
This post is about how jolie is too big for the mighty heart. YES YES YES SHE IS TOO BIG FOR THE ROLE. She is bigger than Hollywood. Her family are everywhere and people begin to guess how they control the press. Thanks to jolie-pitt's very best friends, PEOPLE and HELLO.
109 - LA
Irony, you are mistaken. Thandie Newton is more respected than Jolie herself as a person or as an actress. She is dignified, professional, and equally beautiful. Halle Berry could have also rocked this part (she is in demand because she can command good box office just as well as other white A listers). Don't tell me nobody cares about Halle Berry. You are just having a hard time accepting the fact that people are highly critical of saint angelina jolie. LOL (by the way is that you Perez?, are you pretending to be someone else?)
To the person who keeps bringing JEN into this, go to gossip blogs to bitch about the past. This article has nothing to do with with the divorce. Move on. Everyone else has except you.
110 - Jane
If it's purely about the box office, hell yeah halle could have done this job nicely. But it isn't just about the box office. It's about raising the producer's lover profile. Never mind how wrong it feels, as long as his lover gets the oscar nod it's cool (Hollywood at it's worst). A mighty tan, like someone else has mentioned in cybrog. A mighty shame with a very small heart.
111 - IRONY
Irony, you are mistaken. Thandie Newton is more respected than Jolie herself as a person or as an actress. She is dignified, professional, and equally beautiful.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You are missing the point, if Thandie Newton was in this movie NO ONE WOULD HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS MOVIE. Understand? The media puts people on covers & interviews them on tv if they sell copies/get ratings. No one CARES about Thandie Newton? Got it? If she was in this movie it would've gotten 99% less attention then it did & done WORSE at the box office. Comprende?
And you are such an agenda driven PHONY. If Thandie Newton was in this movie you STILL wouldn't have seen it. You have NO interest in Daniel Pearl, all you care about is acting like Louis Farrakhan and screaming about some supposed injustice to black people.
Anyway, this is the kind of movie people make because on PRINCIPLE. They know it won't make money because all Americans want to see are BATMAN/SUPERMAN movies, animated kiddie garbage & sappy romantic comedies. American's are SHALLOW and IGNORANT.
112 - Canadian
To a brangelina loonies, your guys are crazy, go to perez to vent your anger. You are insulting people the same way this film has managed to insult various people, who have decided to boycott this film. Frankly I don't give a flying -uck who acts as Pearl, as long as it's not a white chick, it's fine. Yes your saint has got the job because she was -ucking the producer and it was an insult to black people!

Yes Americans are so stupid that we've praised and supported Brokeback Mountain and Crash. Both films have been nominated for the oscar. IRONY I take it that you aren't American (what you are saying is in fact RACIST! and quite offensive to Americans) AND IF you happened to be an American, you make me (and a lot of people) feel so ashame to be an American. We don't feel comfortable with the casting and we don't feel comfortable with this couple. Surely that's allowed and surely we're able to discuss this topic in a civil manner instead of branding the whole nation stupid! It's a kind of behavior you expect from badly uneducated ignorant people, which I must stress is "not" a typical American behavior. It 's a behavior that is "not welcome" in America. It causes fights between different people (and nations!), we don't favor this kind of "below the belt attitude" We've moved forward from this stereotype nonsense
115 - Nigella
Does Jolie's behavior has helped to tank this film? YES. Sorry but sometimes you can be too big for your own good. If Pearl was white, this film would have done a lot better. And if Jolie was not sleeping with the producer, it would have helped to sell more tickets. The release timing also sucks.
116 - Nigella
All of these combinations have helped to sink the film. I think it'll make a lot of people think twice about working with their partners in the film world. Especially if you're the A listers.

Will you people drop the phony crap already about casting and just admit that you would not have seen this movie no matter WHO played Mrs. Pearl...it's so disingenuous.
Saying you "boycotted" this movie is LIE because it implies you would've seen this movie if Jolie wasn't in it, which is completly FALSE. You have no intrest in this story, man, or movie and you never did or would have.
You all have agendas, you're either here because...
A) You're a RACIST black who has an agenda about whites playing blacks. Black people don't care about Daniel Pearl, most blacks couldn't even pick him out of a police lineup.
or
B) You're some FAT white woman who's been dumped in the past & hate Angelina because she reminds you of the woman who stole your man.
or
C) You're a republican who hates Jolie/Pearl because they are/were liberals.
Either way, you're all losers!

If you don't like it, why don't you go somewhere else instead of terrorising other readers, calling them names, accusing them of being scum (jesus!). Yes, if you think you're surrounded by stupid people in America, then move. I'd say asap.
