Is actor Angelina Jolie done with Hollywood for good?
According to People magazine, the actor is preparing to put her Los Angeles home on the market ahead of the move.
"Jolie never wanted to live in LA full-time. She didn't have a choice because of the custody arrangement with her ex-husband Brad Pitt," the source was quoted as saying by the outlet.
The report added that Jolie may relocate as soon as her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, turn 18 next year.
"She's eyeing several locations abroad. She'll be very happy when she's able to leave Los Angeles," the source added.
In an earlier interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jolie briefly touched upon her personal life, involving her children and divorce from Pitt. Even though she grew up in Los Angeles, the actress remains in the city because of the legalities surrounding her divorce.
"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," she said.
Jolie and Brad Pitt finalised their divorce in December last year, citing "irreconcilable differences".
"More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time, she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family," her lawyers told People at the time.
The former couple share six children, including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.
Jolie will reunite with her Mr and Mrs Smith director Doug Liman for the upcoming spy thriller, The Initiative, reported Variety.

Michelle Yeoh sees ‘Ne Zha 2' movie as homage to Chinese mythology
For Oscar-winning actor Michelle Yeoh, it is time for Hollywood to focus more on Asian mythological characters like the ones showcased in the Chinese film Ne Zha 2, which has become the highest-grossing animated film in history worldwide. "They're warriors and demigods,' Yeoh, who voices the role of Ne Zha's mom for the film's English dub, said. 'I guess it's like Zeus, you know, and Thor, but these are ours. And I think that's very important because when you learn about another culture's myths, you have a nice, deeper understanding, and it teaches you to embrace something that is different,' the Everything Everywhere All at Once actor added. Ne Zha 2, distributed by A24, follows the events of the first film, 1999's Ne Zha. In the new film, the souls of Nezha and Aobing work to regain their physical bodies and protect their families. The original film grossed over $700 million (Dh2.57 billion) worldwide. The English dubbed version of the fantasy film directed by Yu Yang and based on Xu Zhonglin's 16th-century novel called Investiture of the Gods, arrives in US theatres on Friday. The sequel, originally in Mandarin, made waves when it overtook Pixar's Inside Out 2 in February to become the highest-grossing animated film globally in history, according to data from ticketing platform Maoyan. Ne Zha 2 has amassed a total box office of 12.3 billion yuan ($1.69 billion) including pre-sales and overseas earnings, making it the eighth-highest grossing box office film globally in history. While Yeoh emphasises the cultural richness of the film, she wants audiences of all walks of life to understand that the most important thing is that it's 'a beautiful story.' 'I think we should stop seeing it as, 'Oh it's a Chinese film,'' she added. The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon actor recalled watching the movie for the first time and not being able to tear her eyes away from the screen. 'You're going up to the heavens. You're going down to the bottom of the seas. You see the dragons. You see all these kind of things, and just for that two hours - be transported,' Yeoh said.

Kirsten Dunst wants to join 'Minecraft' sequel after box office success
Kirsten Dunst seems ready for a new kind of adventure on the big screen, one that her kids will love and that, in her words, doesn't "lose money". After A Minecraft Movie turned into a massive box office hit earlier this year, the Oscar-nominated actress, in a recent interview, shared that she'd love to be part of its sequel, reported Deadline. Dunst revealed that her children enjoyed the film and that she wants to join a movie that is both fun and financially successful. Speaking about her wish, she hinted at wanting to star in a project that would not hurt her career at the box office. "Maybe I can just make a movie where I don't lose money?" said Dunst. Director Jared Hess, who helmed the first Minecraft movie, has already shown excitement about the idea of a follow-up. He stated that creating a sequel "would be so much fun" and explained that the first film only scratched the surface of the game's vast universe. "We had so much fun making this movie, and it's such an expansive world in the game, and there were so many things that we didn't tap into that we wanted to," Hess said. "I would have a blast doing the sequel, and it seems like there's already talk about it happening, so I'm super excited. It'll be so much fun to go back into the world. The fans are just having such a good time. We teased it in the end credits, and the fans seem to be going wild for it," he added. The end credits of the original movie teased the addition of another major game character, Alex. While Kate McKinnon voiced Alex in the scene, the character's face was not revealed. This has sparked speculation about who might bring the character to life in a sequel, and fans wonder if Dunst could step into the role. Dunst's last film, Civil War (2024), directed by Alex Garland, earned more than $127 million (Dh466.41 million) globally and became A24's biggest opening ever. Her highest-grossing film to date remains Spider-Man 3 (2007), which collected $892 million worldwide. ANI
