Angelina Jolie: My Children Won't See 'In The Land Of Blood And Honey'

Angelina Jolie has called the experience of writing and directing her first film the "greatest experience of [her] life." But when "In the Land of Blood and Honey" hits theaters, she won't be sharing the joy with some very important people.


"They won't see this movie," Angelina Jolie told The Hollywood Reporter, speaking of her brood of six children. "They know that mommy, on occasion, goes off to Libya or other places.


Given the young ages of her children, it makes sense; the film is about the brutal Yugoslav War of the 1990s, featuring the story of a Bosnian woman sent to a Serbian rape camp.


But while the children won't be watching this film, it doesn't mean they didn't get some of their own stories from Jolie.


"I wrote whenever I could, when the kids were asleep or in their classes," she remembered. "Halfway through some of the most horrific scenes, I'd hear, 'Mommy, I need another story, I can't go to sleep,' and so I'd pause what I was doing and go tell happy stories about bunny villages."
