Angelina Jolie’s First Look for Unbroken

Angelina Jolie's First Look for Unbroken

Universal Pictures debuted a first look of Angelina Jolie and Zamperini from Unbroken, the upcoming true drama directed and produced by Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie.

The film follows the epic drama of the life of Louis “Louie” Zamperini and is adapted from Laura Hillenbrand’s book, “Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.”

Jack O’Connell earned the starring role and will appear as Zamperini. O’Connell recently spent several afternoons meeting with Zamperini at his home to hear the man he’ll be portraying recount his incredible tale firsthand. Zamperini retains many keepsakes from his adventures in his home. Seeing Zamperini’s World War II bomber jacket, O’Connell asked permission to put it on, which Zamperini gladly gave. The jacket fit O’Connell perfectly and became one of the first moments of him inhabiting the life of this legendary hero.

“It will be hard to make a film worthy of this great man,” says Jolie. “I am deeply honored to have the chance and will do all I can to bring Louie’s inspiring story to life. Everyone involved in the film shares this deep responsibility. Like all readers of Laura’s book and all people who love and admire Louie, I am a fan who has learned so much. He has made me a better person.”

“Angelina is a human dynamo,” says Zamperini, “and I know she will tell this story in the right way. I”ve received so many letters and talked to so many people who say that Laura’s book has helped them when they were going through hard times. I believe the movie will reach even more people with that message.”
