Le Mans

According to this article from Portugal, Brad (along with Al Pacino & Penélope Cruz) is gonna film a remake of the old Steve McQueen movie “Le Mans” (1971). Wolfgang Petersen will direct.

Source/discuss. Thanks Intothegrinder. This is unconfirmed.

Plot: Almost in breadth and depth of a documentary, this movie depicts an auto race during the 70s on the world’s hardest endurance course: Le Mans in France. The race goes over 24 hours on 14.5 kilometers of cordoned country road. Every few hours the two drivers per car alternate – but it’s still a challenge for concentration and material. In the focus is the duel between the German Stahler in Ferrari 512LM and the American Delaney in Gulf Team Porsche 917. Delaney is under extraordinary pressure, because the year before he caused a severe accident, in which his friend Lisa’s husband was killed.

A Kenya holiday

Hollywood celebrity couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is in Kenya on holiday, MondayBlues can reveal. The American actress and Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR and her husband flew in last week.

The tour has been highly secretive. Word of their visit even got some top UN personalities in shock. Sources close to us indicated on arrival to Nairobi, the couple immediately left for Masai Mara where they were booked into an exclusive camp. It wasn’t clear whether their sons Maddox and Pax accompanied them. Without diverting details our sources said of their visit: “They arrived as a family”.

“They are here on holiday,” another source, a top official working for the UN told MondayBlues.

Read more/discuss. I don’t know how reliable this is, but Angelina has made an appearance in Africa this week, that’s for sure.
