Jolie to direct new film in Oz

Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie will direct her new film Unbroken in Australia, using Sydney and rural parts of New South Wales state as locations, it was announced on Tuesday. The World War II movie is only Jolie’s second foray into directing, after the critically-acclaimed 2011 movie Land of Blood and Honey. NSW deputy premier Andrew Stoner said the Universal Pictures production would inject millions of dollars into the state’s economy and was expected to create 300 jobs for crew alone, with more for cast and extras. Unbroken, based on the book by Laura Hillenbrand, follows the life of war hero Louis Zamperini.
