‘No amount of money’ could make it happen, say insiders
Brad Pitt has firmly turned down a multi-million dollar offer to star alongside his ex-wife Angelina Jolie in a World War II love story, calling the idea a complete non-starter. The actor’s camp reportedly dismissed the pitch as nothing more than a publicity stunt.
Why Brad Pitt refused to reunite with Angelina Jolie
Producer Danny Rossner dreamed of reuniting Pitt and Jolie to play lovers in his passion project set at the iconic Hotel Martinez in Cannes. But sources close to Pitt, 60, made his position crystal clear: He has no interest in sharing the screen with Jolie, 49, after years of legal battles and personal heartache. “Not all the money in the world” would convince him, one insider said, adding that Pitt sees no reason to revisit the past. Rossner, who claimed to have raised $60 million for the project, even promised to offer them a significant bump above their usual pay. But insiders say Pitt wasn’t swayed.
What is the battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?
The once-golden Hollywood couple, who famously fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith nearly two decades ago, have been locked in a bitter feud since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016. Their split, marked by allegations of abuse, legal battles, and a fight over their French vineyard, has left little room for reconciliation—on or off the screen.
While Rossner described the movie as a ‘slam dunk’ with Pitt and Jolie, those close to the actor say it’s simply not an option. In the end, fans hoping for a romantic Hollywood reunion will have to keep dreaming. For Brad Pitt, this chapter appears firmly closed.
