The last tandem by the power couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, was the hit Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005. This was also the movie that made them fell in love with each other amidst the controversy surrounding it, especially that Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston that time.

Ten years after, the newly-wed couple will grace the screen once more in the Angelina Jolie-directed film, By the Sea.

The Hollywood Reporter speculated it would be a relationship drama that Jolie wrote several years ago and centered on a couple with issues who take a vacation in a last-ditch effort to save their marriage. The shooting has wrapped up last November 10 and there is no definite release date, but it is definitely this 2015.

Set in France during the mid-1970s, Jolie plays Vanessa, a former dancer, and Pitt is her husband Roland, an American writer. As they travel the country together, they seem to be growing apart, but when they linger in one quiet, seaside town they begin to draw close to some of its more vibrant inhabitants, such as a local bar/café-keeper (War Horse and A Prophet's Niels Arestrup) and hotel owner (Richard Bohringer, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover.)

"I chose to set By the Sea in the 1970s, not only because it is a colorful and alluring era, but because it removes many of the distractions of contemporary life and allows the focus to remain squarely on the emotions that the characters experience in their journey," Jolie said in a statement to EW.

The film will be Jolie's follow-up to the World War II-era survival drama Unbroken, and will be her third directing project since her debut with 2011's In the Land of Blood and Honey.
