When Angelina Jolie was picking a title for her directorial debut, which is a love story between a Serbian soldier and a Muslim woman during the Bosnian War, she admitted that she struggled with deciding on just the right name. "It's a heavy film," she said. "You want to find that title that really helps the audience know what they're walking into." So calling it "In the Land of Blood and Honey" definitely suggests this romantic drama won't be a walk in the park -- especially after rumors started circulating that the Serbian character rapes the woman.
Today we saw our first trailer for the film, which Jolie doesn't star in. And from everything we see here, yes, it's going to be a very, very heavy film. But it looks like the producers are hoping that a strong romance at the center might make it a little more palatable to audiences.
