Angelina Jolie is in final negotiations to direct UNBROKEN for Universal Pictures. The project is based on the non-fiction novel of the same name by Laura Hillenbrand.
Follows the true story of Louis Zamperini, a former Olympian, and his two crewmates when their plane crashes at sea during World War II and floats adrift for 47 days until capture and sent to a POW camp by the Japanese Navy.
Producing will be Mick Garris, Matthew Baer and Erwin Stoff.
While Jolie is known primarily for her acting career, she made her directing debut with “In the Land of Blood and Honey” which she also wrote and produced.
She is repped by UTA.
