"Audiences will also have the opportunity to see it in English if they choose to do so."
In the Land of Blood and Honey is set to be released in the United States in the native foreign language of Bosnia. This movie is Jolie's directorial debut and is set in the 1990s Bosnian War.
The movie is both written and directed by Jolie. Interestingly enough she claims to have written the script while she was in bed with the flu for a week. The story revolved around a couple who are from two different sides of the war. Danijel is soldier for the Serbs while Ajla is prisoner being held where Danijel is camping. The two fall in love but face many obstacles due to the war. The movie is essentially about how they handle these trials and tribulations.
As the film is set in the war it will be filmed in the Serbian-Croatian language BHS as well as in English. The foreign language version will be released in the United States with subtitles.
Jolie is pleased with this development as she hoped that US audiences would be able to experience this version of the movie. Audiences will also have the opportunity to see it in English if they choose to do so.
When asked why she chose such a demanding topic for her film, Jolie responded that she wanted to renew attention to the war. The film is unlikely to be a box office hit. That being said if critics respond well to it, the film will be considered a success. Jolie has recently made headlines as she has employed new representation in an effort to get more independent movie roles.
