Love in the Time of Bosnia

Angelina Jolie has announced that her next project, a love story, will be set during the 1992-’95 Bosnian War.

The movie, about a a couple who meet on the eve of the war and the effect it has on their relationship, is not “not a political statement,” Jolie said in a statement issued by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees after the actress visited Sarajevo over the weekend.

Her co-stars are expected to be from the various ethnicities of the former Yugoslavia.

“I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can,” she said.

Update: Turns out Angie is writing and directing the Bosnia romance, not starring in it.
