Angelina Jolie Death Threat

Angelina Jolie Gets Death threats from al-Qaeda over role in Daniel Pearl movie

This is so dumb!  Doesn’t al-Qaeda have bigger Jihads to fry?  This is almost as dumb as popstar Hilary Duff getting death threats.

Hollywood golden couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have stepped up security after becoming potential terrorist targets.

The movie stars - who are currently in India - have been receiving death threats from terror group al-Qaeda.

Pitt, 42, and Jolie, 31, are thought to have been targeted because of the political nature of Jolie’s new movie A Mighty Heart.

The film is based on the life of Daniel Pearl - a Wall Street Journal reporter who was killed at the hands of al-Qaeda militants in Pakistan According to reports, British security experts flew to Pune, India earlier this week to protect the couple.

The fear of terror threats is also thought to be the reason behind the decision to shoot the movie in India, not in Pakistan where the events took place.

In A Mighty Heart - based on the book of the same name, Jolie plays Pearl’s widow Marianne, who was pregnant when her husband was kidnapped.

The Tombraider star has said she was disappointed not to be filming in Pakistan - "a country I love and have visited three times," she said.

Daniel Futterman, who wrote the screenplay to Capote, has been cast as Daniel Pearl. The film is being produced by Paramount Vantage with Pitt’s Plan B production company. Source
