Angelina Jolie to star in Bosnia War love story

Reuters reports Angelina Jolie, who is a Goodwill Ambassador for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), will soon star in a film set during the 1992-95 Bosnian War.

Essentially, the romance will follow a couple who meets on the eve of the war. The film will chronicle what impact the event has on their relationship. It's sold as "a love story, not a political statement."

Jolie added she would like to work with local people. Shooting kicks off this fall. Jolie is currently onscreen in "Salt." She's got "The Tourist" coming out later this year, followed by "Kung Fu Panda 2."

It now looks like she will helm the film and not star in it. More soon.
