The Hitchcockian thrill-ride behind Angelina Jolie's breastfeeding pics

By Barry Lenser

October 14, 2008

I just stumbled across this amusingly titled and toned article on Haaretz.com- "Israel trip helps Brad Pitt shoot Angelina Jolie breastfeeding pics." Evidently, Pitt was determined to do the entire shoot with a kind of film that hasn't been made in four years. He ran out partway through, which prompted an editor from W magazine to search for and eventually locate a willing seller, in Israel as it happens. If you're thinking that the white-knuckle suspense is over, guess again. From the article, "She (the editor) then had mere hours to find someone in Tel Aviv who could get on a plane to France with the film that very day." She succeeded but yikes, was it close. I'm confident that Pitt and Jolie, both globetrotting, life-on-the-edge types who have seen it all, handled the episode in stride.

Funny sidenote- listed in the "Related Articles" section below the main body of text is this entry- "The Holocaust, Tarantino-style: Jews scalping Nazis" (referring to "Inglorious Bastards" in which Brad Pitt stars).
