出于安全考虑，好莱坞影星安吉莉娜·茱莉的新片《坚强的心》不能在故事发生地巴基斯坦拍摄，对此，茱莉失望万分。继《史密斯行动》之后，茱莉和男友布拉德·皮特将在新片《坚强的心》中再度合作，茱莉饰演片中《华尔街日报》记者丹尼尔·珀尔遗孀玛琳娜，皮特则以电影制片人的身份出现。《坚强的心》改编自玛琳娜传记《坚强的心：我的丈夫丹尼尔·珀尔的勇敢一生》，珀尔于2002年在一起9·11事件调查中被恐怖分子绑架并惨遭杀害。

Actor Brad Pitt (R) speaks at a hotel in Pune, about 200 km (125 miles) southeast from Mumbai, October 6, 2006. Angelina Jolie says she and Pitt are disappointed they are not shooting 'A Mighty Heart,' a film about U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, in Pakistan where he was abducted and murdered in 2002. (Stringer/Reuters) Angelina Jolie says she and Brad Pitt are disappointed they are not shooting "A Mighty Heart ," a film about US journalist Daniel Pearl, in Pakistan where he was abducted and murdered in 2002.  Security concerns there caused officials to suggest they work elsewhere. So with the exception of a few background scenes shot in Pakistan, "A Mighty Heart" will be made in the western Indian city of Pune. The Oscar-winning actress plays the slain reporter's wife, Mariane. Pitt, Jolie's partner, is the movie's producer. "I am disappointed that we could not shoot the film in Pakistan, a country that I love and have visited three times," said Jolie in a statement issued on Saturday by Trevor Neilson, an adviser to the couple. "They talked with people from all levels of the Pakistan government and there's certainly no hard feelings. But it became clear that it was preferable to film in India," Neilson told Reuters by telephone. He said there was no release date set for "A Mighty Heart," which is being made by Pitt's production company, Los Angeles-based Plan B. The film is based on a book by Mariane Pearl, "A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl." Pearl, a 38-year-old reporter with The Wall Street Journal, was kidnapped in Karachi in early 2002 while researching a story in the aftermath of September 11. A videotape of Pearl having his throat cut was later circulated by his killers. In her statement, Jolie said "A Mighty Heart" is about "cross-cultural understanding and the values that people of all faiths share. This is not a film about terrorism or conflict, it is a story of people of all faiths working together to find the truth." (Agencies)
