Jolie recently set down for an in-depth interview with Wall Street Journal Magazine and shared her honest thoughts about the state of modern-day Hollywood.

“I wouldn’t be an actress today. When I was starting out, it wasn’t as much of an expectation to be as public, to share so much. Because I grew up around Hollywood, I was never very impressed with it. I never bought into it as significant or important,” said Jolie.

She added that she’s now seeking authenticity because Hollywood is not “a healthy place” and she became even more aware of it in the aftermath of her divorce from Brad Pitt. Jolie added that she’ll eventually move because she wants to live and travel freely, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s thinking about retirement.

Jolie will soon star in Pablo Larraín’s Maria Callas biopic, and she’s attached to several more projects, including the action thriller Maude v Maude co-starring Halle Barry and the third film in the Maleficent franchise.

Maria centers on one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century, Maria Callas, and it chronicles her final years in Paris during the ’70s. In addition to Jolie in the lead role, this project will also star Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Haluk Bilginer, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Valeria Golino.

Larraín previously directed Natalie Portman in the Jackie Kennedy biopic Jackie and Kristen Stewart in the Princess Diana biopic Spencer, and he’s looking forward to bringing another formidable woman to the big screen.

“I am incredibly excited to start production on Maria, which I hope will bring Maria Callas’s remarkable life and work to audiences all around the world, thanks to the magnificent script by Steven Knight, the work of the entire cast and crew, and especially, Angelina’s brilliant work and extraordinary preparation,” said Larraín in a statement.

Maria will be shot over eight weeks in Paris, Greece, Budapest, and Milan, after receiving the SAG-AFTRA interim agreement.

The trailer opens with Salma Hayek’s voiceover explaining the emerging conflict of Eternals, by saying “five years ago, Thanos erased half of the population of the universe. But the people of this planet brought everyone back with the snap of a finger. The sudden return of the population provided the necessary energy for the emergence to begin.”

“The emergence” brings Eternals together after centuries, as they join forces to protect humanity from their evil counterparts, the Deviants. Later in the trailer, Gemma Chan’s Sersi explains they were instructed not to interfere in any human conflict unless the Deviants were involved.

In addition to Chan as Sersi and Hayek as Ajak, Eternals will also star Richard Madden as Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Angelina Jolie as Thena, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, among others. After several delays, Eternals is set to premiere on November 5th and its release will be preceded by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Maleficent 2, now known as Maleficent: Mistress of Evil was supposed to hit the theaters on May 29, but Disney bosses managed to come up with a much better slot. They bumped up the release date of this film by seven months, and announced it will premiere shortly before Halloween weekend – on October 18.

The Maleficent sequel could have a tough competition in animated movie The Addams Family, which is opening on the same day, but true fans of the genre will probably find time for both. It will also be going against the sophomore week of The Goldfinch and Zombieland: Double Tap.

Mistress of Evil picks up several years after the original movie, and further explores the complex relationship between Maleficent and soon to be Queen Aurora. It will star Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Jolie will serve as an executive producer on the news project aimed at children aged seven to twelve. The english-language current affairs program is set for a 2019 release. The series is set to roll out ten half hour episodes with the hope of promoting global media literacy.

“There has never been a time when it was more important to introduce the next generation to objective, impartial news and factual explanation of the events and issues shaping our world,” Jolie said. “Children today are exposed to a lot of opinion, but not necessarily to information that is fact-based and reliable.”

She continued: “As a mother, I am very pleased that the BBC World Service is taking this step. It is also important to me that the project is global, and will help young people in different countries to be connected to each other and to have greater awareness and understanding of the news on an international basis.”

BBC World Service Director Jamie Angus added, “No parent can completely isolate their child from fake news. But what we can do is give kids the tools to distinguish the genuine from the false and encourage them to develop critical thinking – to ask themselves: who produced the video and why? Are they a reputable organization? Are they just telling one side of the story? Is there another view?”
