Producer Danny Rosner is trying unsuccessfully to get feuding ex-spouses to play lovers in his new movie based on real-life hotelier Emmanuel Martinez.
Brad Pitt has no intention of accepting a million-dollar offer to reunite with ex-wife Angelina Jolie on the big screen.
Producer Danny Rosner is trying unsuccessfully to get the feuding ex-husbands to play lovers in his new movie based on real-life hotelier Emmanuel Martinez.
Rosner, whose work includes the film 2001: Space Shenanigans with Leslie Nielsen, believes the estranged couple can "put their differences behind them."
But sources close to Pitt, 60, who has been trying to finalise his divorce from Jolie, 49, since 2016, say there is "no way" he would "stoop" and accept money to work with someone who has caused him so much "heartache".
"All the money in the world won't get Brad to be in a movie with Angelina ever again," a source close to the actor exclusively told the Daily Mail. "It would definitely spark public interest, but it's not something he would consider for a moment. They're bitter enemies at the moment, so there's no way Brad would stoop to being paid any amount of money to talk to Angie on screen. She has caused him so much grief and he doesn't even want his closest entourage talking about her."
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in September 2016 after an explosive row on their private jet.
He has since been estranged from his daughter Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16, as well as his three adopted children Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19.
The former couple is still embroiled in a legal battle, dubbed the "War of the Roses," over their Chateau Miraval estate.
Another source said Rosner's alleged proposal was a "clever publicity stunt" and "not something that seems fun for either party".
Rosner's love story is set at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France, during World War II.
If accepted, Pitt will play Martinez, the hotel's real-life owner, alongside Jolie as his lover Emma Digard.
Rosner announced his very optimistic plans to rehab the two and said he had raised about $60 million from his sponsors to entice them to sign on.
"Right now I think Brad Pitt is in the $20-25 million range for a movie and Angelina Jolie is in the $15 million range. We're prepared to offer 50 percent above that price," he told The Post. There were "heavy love scenes" in the film.
"If we can cease fire between Israel and Lebanon, then Pitt and Jolie can also put their differences aside and come together to build a bridge and make this movie," Rosner added.
Jolie accused Pitt of physical abuse on a flight to California in September 2016.
She claims he was intoxicated and grabbed her head, shook her, and later pushed her to the ground. Jolie says at one point he poured beer on her and the blanket she was under with several of the children.
Later, a source close to Pitt insisted that he never hit any of the children even though he was drunk. | BGNES
