ANGELINA JOLIE says she prefers working behind the camera instead of in front of it, but Tuesday at the London premiere of her searing prisoner-of-war drama “Unbroken,” she added that she is not giving up acting entirely.
“It’s not a big dramatic decision, I will do a few less but I much prefer being behind the camera,” Jolie told Reuters when asked on the red carpet if she was giving up acting in films. “So it’ll be a natural transition, I hope.”
Based on a best-selling book by Laura Hillenbrand, the film directed by Jolie tells how Louis Zamperini, an Olympic sprinter played by Jack O’Connell, spent 47 days on a life raft after his plane crashed into the Pacific, and was then held for two years by the Japanese.
“I would be thrilled,” Jolie said, when asked if she hoped the film would win the Oscar or another major film award. “It would make me feel like I did a good job, and for a film I care so much about it would mean a great deal.”
