Zeta-Jones plans film set in India

Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones is set to visit India with husband Michael Douglas to shoot a new film, a newspaper on Thursday quoted her as saying.

Zeta-Jones told the Times of India newspaper she was currently developing the script with Douglas. The newspaper did not say when it would be ready or when the couple would visit.

“We will take our kids and all of us will come there, set a camp in India and shoot a film,” Zeta-Jones, who won an Oscar in 2003 for her role in the musical “Chicago,” told the newspaper. “I’m looking forward to going to India.”

India’s media went into a frenzy last year when Hollywood heavyweights Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, along with their children, stayed in the country for a month to shoot a film.

Asked if she had watched any Indian films, Zeta-Jones replied she had seen a lot of Bollywood movies, “though I can’t remember the names now.”

Angelina Jolie and Zahara Jolie-Pitt Sighting in Chicago

Angelina Jolie and her long-term partner Brad Pitt - whose relationship is rumored to be going through a rocky patch - are reportedly planning to travel to the African country to find a fourth disadvantaged child they can give a home to.

The couple - who are already adoptive parents to six-year-old Cambodian boy Maddox, Vietnamese son Pax Thien, three, and two-year-old Zahara, who was born in Ethiopia - believe another baby will strengthen their relationship and help Zahara feel more secure within the family.

A source close to the couple - who also have a 14-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh - told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper: “Brad and Angelina have made no secret of the fact they are keen to extend their rainbow family.

“Angelina, in particular, feels very strongly that while Shiloh will grow up seeing the family resemblances between herself and her natural parents, and Maddox and Pax will have a connection through their birthplaces, Zahara has no such close-knit bond. Brad and Angelina hope that by finding a brother or sister for her, it will help Zahara feel more comfortable and happy in her own skin, and also bring them closer together.”

The couple are said to be planning to visit Ethiopia’s Wide Horizons agency, the same place that introduced them to Zahara, in November.

The entire Jolie-Pitt family went to the Field Museum in Chicago, IL.

The family had an SUV waiting for them as they exited the museum. As they were leaving, Brad was carrying Zahara and holding Pax’s hand while Angelina carried Shiloh with Maddox pushing the stroller.

Angelina Jolie smiles at fans after picking up books and CDs at Borders Book and Music store bookstore with son Maddox, 6, on Sunday near her downtown Chicago hotel.

Motorcyclist-to-be Maddox (with a new mini-mohawk and losing all of his baby teeth) was seen with a dinosaur tattoos on his arm and wore a t-shirt by Indian Larry, a noted bike builder, stuntman, and innovator in the world of custom motorcycles.

Catherine Zeta-Jones insists that people are mistaken when they make up their minds that she is a ‘diva’.

The Chicago star has earned a reputation for being a demanding star, but Zeta-Jones is adamant that the belief is wrong.

Instead of being a diva, she says, what she really happens to be is shy and reserved.

She will now be seen on the big screen in the romantic comedy ‘No Reservations’.

And one person who is really glad that she’s taken on this role is hubby Michael Douglas, as he strongly believes that the film will illustrate his spouse’s softer side.

The characters of strong-headed, tough women that Zeta-Jones is known for playing in films like ‘Traffic’, ‘Ocean’s Twelve’ and ‘The Mask Of Zorro’ have always kept Douglas worried that the world will never get to know what a lovely person his wife is.

Catherine Zeta-Jones’ main priority isn’t her acting career, it’s her husband, Michael Douglas, and their two young children.

Zeta-Jones, who won a 2003 supporting actress Oscar for her role in “Chicago,” married Douglas in 2000. They have two children ¡ª son, Dylan, 6, and daughter, Carys, 4 ¡ª and live much of the year on the island of Bermuda.

The couple also have homes in Manhattan and Majorca, Spain, and a farm in Quebec, Canada. “Some people collect art,” she says. “We collect houses.”

Zeta-Jones, whose movie credits also include “Ocean’s Twelve” and “Traffic,” isn’t about to quit acting just yet. In the upcoming dramedy “No Reservations,” she portrays a chef whose life takes a new turn when she becomes the guardian of a 9-year-old niece. She’s also wrapped up “Death Defying Acts,” about Harry Houdini.

“No Reservations,” a Warner Bros. release, opens July 27. (AP)
