Jolie Is "Unbroken"

Angelina Jolie is in talks to direct the World War II drama "Unbroken" says THR.


Based on author Laura Hillenbrand's 2010 bestselling biography, that chronicles the life of Olympic athlete Louis Zamperini . He was captured by the Japanese navy and detained at a P.O.W. camp. That came AFTER he survived both a near-fatal plane crash and being stuck on a raft for 47 days.

"Les Miserables" writer William Nicholson penned the latest script draft for the pic.

Matthew Baer ("The Replacement Killers") and Erwin Stoff ("The Blind Side") are producing.

Jolie made her directorial debut with last year's war drama "In the Land of Blood and Honey."
