Universal has announced they’ll release Angelina Jolie‘s next movie, By the Sea, to theaters on Nov. 13, pitting it opposite Warner Bros’ Chilean miners story The 33, Paramount’s Rings and the Bill Murray-led Rock the Kasbah. The announcement also comes with some additional story details and creative information.
Jolie directs and wrote the low budget feature, which is said to be inspired by European cinema and theater of the 1960s and ’70s. “This is a story about a relationship derailed by loss, the tenacity of love and the path to recovery and acceptance,” Jolie said in a statement. “It has been a privilege to explore these universal human experiences with such a generous and talented cast and crew.”
Jolie stars alongside husband Brad Pitt in the intimate, character-driven drama centering on an American writer Roland (Pitt) and his wife Vanessa (Jolie), who arrive in a tranquil and picturesque seaside resort in 1970s France, their marriage in apparent crisis. As they spend time with fellow travelers, including young newlyweds Lea (Mélanie Laurent from Inglourious Basterds) and François (Melvil Poupaud from Laurence Anyways) and village locals Michel (Niels Arestrup from A Prophet) and Patrice (Richard Bohringer), the couple begins to come to terms with unresolved issues in their own lives. Check out the first image from the film above.
We also learn Christian Berger (The White Ribbon) will serve as the film’s cinematographer.
