First-time director Angelina Jolie and Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar made the most of an afternoon red-carpet event Saturday, playfully striking a deal to work together on a movie.

    Jolie and Almodovar were speaking separately to reporters at the American Cinematheque’s* annual event for the Golden Globe Awards’ foreign-language nominees, when they took a break from interviews to greet each other and talk shop.

    Almodovar joked about improving his English and then eagerly agreed when Jolie expressed an interest in working with him.

    “So you promise, one day? When all these cameras are gone, we’ll find a film together?” Jolie asked Almodovar, to which he responded, “Yes. Absolutely.”

    Jolie’s “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” a drama about the Bosnian War of the 1990s with dialogue in Serbo-Croatian, and Almodovar’s sci-fi-tinged* thriller “The Skin I Live In” are both nominated.
