Jolie Goes Blonde While Filming By the Sea with Brad Pitt

Photos surfaced Thursday of Jolie and husband Brad Pitt in Malta on the set of their latest movie By the Sea. The 39-year-old actress is sporting a flowy white dress, yellow chiffon scarf and has honey-blonde hair.

This film marks the first time the couple have appeared on the big screen since 2005’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, where they met and fell in love.

By the Sea, directed by Jolie and produced by Pitt, is set in 1970s France. The mother of six plays a former dancer who faces challenges with her husband, an American writer, as they travel together.

The couple took a break from filming this highly anticipated love story to get married in France on Aug. 23.

Pitt, 50, joked to USA Today that they had a “dysfunctional honeymoon,” after spending their first days as a married couple on the set. “It’s been challenging but really fun,” he added.

The couple had been hoping to work together again, with Pitt admitting in 2011, “We’re not ones to repeat ourselves, but we’d like to, because right now, we’re hopscotching with films so one can be with the kids and one’s free to work. And why aren’t we doing them together? Why aren’t we doing everything together?”

Pitt Will Show Off His French Skills In New Film By The Sea

Newlywed, father of six, and critically-acclaimed Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt is ready to show off his French language skills on the big screen in his new movie “By The Sea.”

The Hollywood actor stars opposite his wife Angelina Jolie, who is also the film’s writer and director, and he has now revealed the action is set in France, so he is taking the opportunity to show off his linguistic ability.

Pitt, who owns a home in France with Jolie, tells Britain’s Hello! magazine, “The film’s set in France so it makes sense for me to speak it… And I think my French is pretty good, so my writer/director put a lot of the language into the script and we’ll see how I do. My writer/director is tough as nails, as you know… My writer/director being my wife.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Marriage Collapses In First Images From ‘By the Sea’

While there’s still a few months to go before Angelina Jolie debuts her sophomore directorial effort, Unbroken, she’s already begun production on her next film, the intimate drama By the Sea. Co-starring alongside her husband, Brad Pitt, Jolie also scripted the feature, which follows them as a couple on a getaway in 1970?s France.

Ahead of what’s surely a paparazzi free-for-all, the first official images have now debuted just days after production kicked off in Malta. Per EW, the story specifically finds Jolie as Vanessa, a former dancer and Pitt as Roland, a writer, both entangled in a crumbling marriage as they find rejuvenation after coming across a quiet, seaside village.

“I chose to set By the Sea in the 1970s, not only because it is a colorful and alluring era, but because it removes many of the distractions of contemporary life and allows the focus to remain squarely on the emotions that the characters experience in their journey,” Jolie tells the magazine. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect about the project is the involvement of cinematographer Christian Berger, a longtime Michael Haneke collaborator. While these promotional stills don’t reflect his actual work, mostly natural lighting is said to be employed. Check out the stills above and below for the film that will continue shooting through November.

Also starring Niels Arestrup, Richard Bohringer, and Melanie Laurent, By the Sea will likely be released next year.
