The American director Angelina Jolie, author of the films 'In the Land of Blood and Honey' ('In the Land of Blood and Honey') and 'Invencible' ('Unbroken'), seems determined to bring the life of Catherine the Great to the big screen, Empress who ruled Russia for much of the second half of the XNUMXth century.
This could be the next film of the winner of two Oscars after 'By the Sea', a film that is currently preparing where she herself will be the protagonist with her partner Brad Pitt.
The news of Angelina Jolie's interest in Catherine the Great and her entire history has jumped when we learned that Jolie Pas Productions, producer of Angelina Jolie, has acquired the rights to the book 'Catherine the Great & Potemkin: The Imperial Love Affair', published in 2002 and written by Simon Sebag-Montefiore.
Known as Catherine the Great and married to Peter III, Catherine II of Russia was Empress of Russia from June 28, 1762 until her death on November 17, 1796, a total of more than 34 years. It earned the nickname "the Great One" by expanding and modernizing the Russian Empire during his reign thanks to his political and government skills.
