At the end of 2014, Angelina Jolie unexpectedly announced to the world that she was thinking of leaving the acting profession and was ready to retrain as directors. The career of a cinema star as a stage director is not going well yet. In 2015, her war drama "Unbroken" won several prestigious awards and more than recouped its budget, but a few months later, another directorial work Jolie , "Cote d'Azur", a crushing failure at the box office and was defeated by critics .A chance to prove that the romantic drama was just an accidental failure in her directing career, Angelina could have given the film "Africa".

In early 2015, it became known that Brad Pitt could become her screen partner. Last fall, the famous Hollywood couple broke up, after which the fate of the biographical drama was in limbo.

Soon, another actress was invited to this role. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Jolie is determined to try to restore her former glory and is already actively looking for interesting roles. At the moment, the actress is looking closely at two high-profile film projects of the studio Universal - the biographical drama " Catherine the Great and Potemkin " and the action-packed thriller " The Spy Who Loved ".  The bosses of Universal are also not averse to using Jolie in their new cinematic universe of monsters, where the actress has long been waiting for the role of Bride of Frankenstein.
