It’s important to recognize Angelina Jolie’s power. She has made her imprint on the world in a variety of ways as an award-winning actor, filmmaker, and humanitarian. Jolie started her acting career in the early 1990s and immediately became well-known for her roles in films like Hackers and Girl, Interrupted. After that, she went on to play the lead in several popular action movies, such as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Jolie has a successful acting career in addition to being an avid philanthropist. She has spent a significant amount of time working with the UNHCR and has visited more than 60 nations to spread awareness of the situation of refugees. She also started the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, an organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of kids all around the world. We can clearly understand why a former British Prime Minister wanted to star her in his unmade Indiana Jones-style movie that unfortunately never took off.

Which Prime Minister wanted to cast Jolie in his movie?

According to a recent revelation, Boris Johnson, a former British Prime Minister, once developed his movie script and wanted Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johansson to play the lead role. A supposed Indiana Jones-style adventure film set in Syria was never produced.

The plot of the unmade movie was one of great adventure and treasure hunt. The storyline of the movie had Burton and the female archaeologist heading a group of researchers and explorers on a quest to find Shargar, a lost city in Syria. The city, which was supposed to be in a remote desert area, was said to be home to numerous priceless ancient treasures.

Unfortunately, the movie was never filmed for unknown reasons, but it would have been interesting to see what the former British Prime Minister could have accomplished. Considering his incredible casting decision, the movie might have been a great success.

Angelina Jolie’s upcoming project

Hollywood A-listers Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie are expected to dazzle viewers together as they join hands to lead in an action movie Maude v Maude. With the skills of two legendary leading ladies coming together in this exciting partnership, an electric cinematic experience is promised. According to a source with knowledge of the project, it has been called a “James Bond vs. Jason Bourne“-style action thriller, and filming is scheduled to occur in various countries.

Talented actress Angelina Jolie has appeared in some of the most recognizable action films ever made. To see Angelina Jolie back in action would be quite exciting. Her action flicks have always been huge hits with audiences, but only time will tell if this will have the same impact or not.
