Hollywood’s most iconic and infamously fiery exes, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, might just be headed for a plot twist no one saw coming—sharing the silver screen again. Yes, you read that right.

After seven years of headline-grabbing drama following their bitter split, the former power couple has reportedly been dangled a jaw-dropping carrot: a $60 million offer to co-star in a brand-new film.

The project? A World War II-era drama centred on the legendary Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France. It’s a proposal that harks back to their sizzling chemistry on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2004—the movie that sparked it all and, eventually, a whirlwind romance culminating in their 2014 marriage.

Brad, now 60, and Angelina, 49, have yet to comment, but the idea of them navigating a fictional battlefield together has already set Hollywood abuzz. Could this be the reunion nobody knew they needed?

Hello! Mag reports that producer Danny Rossner is willing to offer Brad up to $37.5 million and Angelina nearly $22 million for their participation in the project.

“Right now, I think, Brad Pitt’s in the $20 to $25 million range [per movie] and Angelina Jolie is in the $15 million range…In the 50-percent range above their going rate is what we’re prepared to offer,”  Danny told The Post. This significant pay increase reflects the unparalleled box office appeal Brad and Angelina still command as a duo.

Okay, so we’re all just ignoring that glaring gender pay gap for a moment because Hollywood is buzzing.

Based on the book The Hotel Martinez, Brad will portray Emmanuel Martinez in the film, the hotel’s charismatic owner, while Angelina will step into the shoes of Emma Digard, his beguiling mistress and muse. Yes, that means they probably will need to kiss.

“There is a love scene,” Danny candidly shared, hinting that the on-screen chemistry would be a throwback to their smoldering dynamic in Mr. & Mrs. Smith. “It’s torrid, but not salacious. Martinez was a man who felt repressed, and when he finally let loose, it was intense.”

The idea of reuniting Brad and Angelina on a film set is nothing short of audacious. Their 2016 split, sparked by a notorious incident on a private flight, unravelled into a high-stakes saga of legal battles over custody and assets that continues to this day.

Although they were declared legally single in 2019, the divorce drama remains far from settled, with tensions bubbling just beneath the surface. Angelina has accused Brad of abusive behaviour during their marriage—allegations that were investigated by the FBI but ultimately did not lead to charges.

Since their separation, Brad has turned a new page, embracing sobriety and a quieter lifestyle, while Angelina has focused on raising their six children and her passionate humanitarian efforts. Reuniting this famously estranged duo on-screen is a gamble—but one that Hollywood, and fans, can’t seem to resist.

Danny, at least, is optimistic:

“If we can have a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, surely Brad and Angelina can put their differences aside for this project,” he quipped. The producer is adamant that the former couple’s involvement would guarantee success, calling it “a slam dunk” with no competition. “Brangelina generates more buzz and box office appeal than any other pair,” he insisted.

Everyone will be showing up to watch for the spark, no doubt.

Brad, with an impressive net worth of $400 million, and Angelina, at $160 million, haven’t let their personal drama slow down their professional lives. Both have remained firmly in the Hollywood spotlight, albeit in very different ways.

Brad has found a new chapter of happiness with girlfriend Ines de Ramon, while Angelina has steered clear of the dating scene, instead dedicating her time to her six children: Maddox (23), Pax (21), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

The children have reportedly aligned with their mother throughout the contentious divorce saga, with some of the older ones even going so far as to drop “Pitt” from their surnames—a choice that speaks volumes about the family’s fractured dynamics.

Could a shared film project serve as a “bridge”, as Danny puts it—or merely another battleground—for Hollywood’s most headline-grabbing exes? Time will tell.
