Information has spread in Hollywood about a new project that promises to cause a major stir. Famous actress Angelina Jolie and the director of the 2005 globally acclaimed film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Doug Liman, are reuniting on one set nearly twenty years later.
It has been reported that the new film starring Jolie will be titled The Initiative. Universal Pictures is in the final stage of acquiring the rights to the project. The film has been announced with the tagline “a day in the world of espionage,” which is seen as a reference to the famous 2001 crime drama starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke.
At the center of the plot is a smart and charismatic female spy named Bright. This character, played by Angelina Jolie, stands out for always acting in her own way and breaking the rules. When a new member named Charlie joins her elite spy group, events quickly take a dangerous turn, drawing them into the center of a perilous game.
The screenplay is written by F. Scott Frazier, known for xXx: Return of Xander Cage and Collide. The producers are Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum, well-known figures in Hollywood. Earlier this year, they worked on Netflix’s The Goddess and the Dragon as well as the romantic comedy Anyone But You.
For 49-year-old Angelina Jolie, The Initiative is regarded as a major return to the action-thriller genre. The storyline, characters, and dynamic direction may become a significant milestone in her film career.
According to available information, filming is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026. The actor who will play the role of Charlie has not yet been revealed, which adds even more intrigue to the project.
Jolie’s new spy persona is expected to once again shake Hollywood and open a new chapter in her creative legacy.
