The Angelina Jolie-directed “Without Blood” has been acquired by Brainstorm Media.
With a screenplay by Jolie and Alessandro Baricco, “Without Blood” is based on Baricco’s novel of the same name. Starring Salma Hayek Pinault and Demián Bichir with Juan Minujín, the film is set in the aftermath of an unnamed conflict, exploring universal truths about war, trauma, memory and healing. The film held its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
“Without Blood” will be released in U.S. theaters on Sept. 18.
“Alessandro Baricco’s ‘Without Blood’ examines universal truths about trauma, memory and healing,” Jolie, who also produced the project, said Monday morning. “The emotional intimacy and openness that our cast and crew brought to this film was extraordinary and exciting to be around. I hope that Salma and Demián’s brave performances will inspire the type of conversation that Baricco sought in writing the novel.”
Produced by Jolie, alongside Lorenzo Mieli, Lorenzo De Maio and Simone Gattoni, “Without Blood” is a Fremantle North America and The Apartment (a Fremantle company) coproduction, in collaboration with Jolie Productions and De Maio Entertainment.
