Angelina Jolie will star in a movie as the widow of murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
"A Mighty Heart," adapted from Mariane Pearl's memoir of the same name, will begin shooting within the next five weeks. The book details Pearl's search for her husband, who was abducted and beheaded by militants in Pakistan in early 2002.
English filmmaker Michael Winterbottom, famed for such war-based films as "Welcome to Sarajevo" and "The Road to Guantanamo," will direct. Jolie's boyfriend, Brad Pitt, will serve as a producer of the project, which is set up at Paramount Vantage, the art-house arm of Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures.
