Angelina Jolie plans to move abroad as she prepares to leave Hollywood
She last worked with the director on the set of the 2005 action-comedy, where she met her ex-husband Brad Pitt. Jolie will portray a rogue master spy named Bright in the movie, which has been described as 'Training Day set in the world spycraft.' The story follows Bright as a new agent named Charlie joins her team and finds himself in concerning situations — 'where he isn't sure whether his new boss is trying to kill him or simply is willing to do whatever is necessary to protect the free world.'
News of Jolie's next career move comes after she starred in last year's Maria Callas biopic Maria after appearing in 2021's Eternals and leading the two Maleficent films. The Oscar winner had studios vying for the project as they anticipated her highly sought-after return to the action thrillers that made her a box office darling following her roles in Salt, Wanted and The Tourist. Universal won the multi-studio competition for the upcoming project, and now, the studio is gearing up to start filming in early 2026.
This comes amid news that Jolie is reportedly looking to sell her historic Los Angeles home and move abroad as the latest A-lister to pack up to leave Hollywood behind. She is reportedly 'eyeing several locations abroad,' according to People. The mom-of-six wants to 'put the house up for sale' and move when her youngest kids, twins Knox and Vivienne, turn 18 next year. She shares the twins as well as Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, and Shiloh, 19, with ex-husband Brad, 61. The Oscar winner 'never wanted to live in L.A. full time' but she 'didn't have a choice because of the custody arrangement with Brad,' a source told the publication. The exes reached a settlement in their ugly divorce in December 2024 after an eight-year legal battle. 'She'll be very happy when she's able to leave Los Angeles,' the insider added.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Jolie's representatives for comment. The insider went on to say that Jolie's estate is 'a historic masterpiece.' The actress is reportedly looking to make some minor improvements before putting the home on the market. The historic estate, once owned by iconic Hollywood director Cecil B. DeMille, was purchased by Angelina in 2017 for a cool $24.5 million. It boasts six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and comes complete with stunning architecture, world-class gardens, an on-site library and much more.
As well as huge gardens with a swimming pool, the property is surrounded with lush greenery and retro chic arched fountains. A tea house looks out onto the swimming pool, and there's also a fitness room in the pool house. She bought the home just eight-months after her split from Pitt.
The property's rich Hollywood history began in 1916 when it was purchased by DeMille (pictured center) for less than $28,000. He went on to expand the estate by buying the neighboring home, which had been owned by screen legend Charlie Chaplin, and merging the two properties. Jolie previously opened up about her desire to leave Los Angeles in 2024, but said she had to remain in California until her and Pitt's six children all turn 18. 'I grew up in this town [Los Angeles]. I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they're 18, I'll be able to leave,' she told The Hollywood Reporter. She continued: 'When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety. I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be … that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here.'
After her youngest two children become legal adults, Jolie said she plans on spending 'a lot of time in Cambodia' and visiting her 'family members wherever they may be in the world.' Jolie will join a number of other Hollywood stars who've left Los Angeles in recent years, including Natalie Portman, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Longoria, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Sophie Turner as well as Rosie O'Donnell among others. Earlier this month it was reported that Jolie is having a tough time with daughter Shiloh's next chapter , as the 19-year-old has flown the nest with her rumored love interest, dancer Keoni Rose.
Sources told the Daily Mail that Shiloh, who recently dropped her famous dad's last name amid their estrangement, has 'temporarily moved in' with Keoni for the summer. Exclusive photos obtained by the Daily Mail confirmed the move, showing the rumored couple hugging outside their shared Los Angeles condo. The reported move also comes after cops arrested a trespasser in Jolie's Los Angeles neighborhood. In July law enforcement detained an individual who entered the Los Feliz enclave by slipping through a gate.
It happened shortly after Jolie's ex-husband Pitt's home was broken into while he was in Tokyo. The actor's neighbors have suggested security at the mansion may have been compromised in the days leading up to the dramatic break-in. Pitt and Jolie's romance began in the early 2000s, and they tied the knot in 2014 at their château in the South of France.

Embattled business partner attempts rebrand after restaurant was bombed with bad reviews amid influencer's feud with chef
A San Francisco restaurateur is attempting to turn the page after a bitter online feud between his co-owner and a popular food influencer tanked his wine bar's reputation. Eric Lin, a first-time restaurant owner, recently reopened his Hayes Valley wine bar under a new name, Bosque, just three weeks after shuttering the premises in the wake of a viral social media controversy. The original café, named Kis, became the target of online outrage after TikTok influencer Karla Marcotte posted a video detailing her 'nightmare' experience there with Lin's former business partner, Luke Sung. Marcotte arrived at the restaurant expecting a free meal, but instead claims she was belittled by chef Sung who told her she was not famous enough to warrant the treatment. An immediate backlash followed and Sung was forced to step down. Now Lin says all he really wants to do is move past the tense confrontation. 'It's been really tough,' Lin told SFGate. 'I've turned myself off from social media a little bit.' After abruptly closing Kis Cafe last month, Lin quietly reopened the business on August 7 under a new identity, reportedly named after his dog. The rebrand was low-key, with Lin declining to offer a website, social media, and or even announce the re-opening. 'I'll probably have something, maybe a website,' he said, adding that he doesn't 'see a point in being very engaged.' The only trace of the new venture online is a Resy page describing the eatery as 'a wholesome neighborhood wine bar that serves simple small plates'. Lin's Kis Cafe had opened only six months prior when Marcotte entered for what was supposed to be a 'collaboration meeting'. Instead, she posted a video accusing Sung of belittling and disrespecting her. Following her controversial review of the northern California spot, her follower count surged from 15,000 to nearly half a million, and Kis Cafe's Yelp page was bombarded with more than 3,000 negative reviews. Lin even said that he, his employees, and even their families received threats as a result of the negative publicity. Lin, who left a tech career to pursue food and hospitality, said the chaos was never what he signed up for. 'I've never liked being the face of anything, and that's not what this place is about,' he said. 'It's about the food. It's about the people who come to eat here.' Though the restaurant dons a new namesake, little has changed inside the establishment. The dining room retains its denim-blue chairs and open kitchen and the menu remains largely the same, SFGate reported. However, while the rebrand appears to have calmed some of the online fury, Lin says business has been slow. 'I need to be a responsible business owner,' Lin said. 'I'm not made of cash.' Sung has since shared his side of the story with The San Francisco Standard. He claims Marcotte entered the restaurant without introducing herself or acknowledging his role, and that she appeared unfamiliar with the restaurant or his background. 'I thought she'd say, "Hey, Mr. Sung, I read about you, and I am so happy to be doing this with you." But she showed up and sat down and didn't say hi,' he told the outlet. He admitted to questioning Marcotte's qualifications, reviewing her TikTok content at the table, and expressing concerns about her representing his food. 'I saw creamy spaghetti in a pan with sliced, overcooked New York steak on top,' he said. 'That night, I was running a special with this beautiful coho salmon. I didn't want to be misrepresented by someone who doesn't understand the difference between Atlantic salmon and king salmon.' Marcotte, however, said she had introduced herself and even showed up early to shoot content. She claimed that Sung and Lin were speaking negatively about her when she arrived. Before leaving the restaurant, she also allegedly warned Sung, 'The restaurant world is really small. There will be consequences.' Following the viral fallout, Sung stepped down from both Kis Cafe and his other restaurant, Domo. He issued a public apology on Instagram, writing: 'Karla - I am truly sorry for my actions toward you. I was condescending, hurtful, and intimidating. You did not deserve to be made to feel less than or unimportant, nobody does.' Sung said the ordeal has left his personal and professional life in tatters. 'Everything is broken into pieces. I have to try to pick it up and glue it back together. I have to just let it heal.' Meanwhile, Lin is cautiously optimistic about Bosque's future. 'The food works,' he said. 'I don't see a point in stressing, and I don't have the money to overhaul everything right now.' He hasn't ruled out working with influencers again and acknowledges that it was ultimately his invitation that brought Marcotte into his restaurant in the first place. 'I hope to do everybody proud, from Luke to Karla to all of them,' Lin said. 'At the end of the day, everybody likes good food, and everybody likes good drink.'
