Angelina Jolie’s Children in Wanted, New Wanted Clip!
Well, in a way they are, anyway. Angelina recently did an interview with MTV about Wanted - if you haven’t seen it yet, it is an amazing interview. In it she talks about a number of things, such as how it was to roll around with James McAvoy:
MTV: This is your first action flick since “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” I would think it’s a little different rolling around with James McAvoy than with Brad?
Jolie: Well, you know Brad was … [Laughs.] I’ll always prefer rolling around on the floor with him than any other man. You know, in general. [Laughs.]
And how it is working while taking care of the kids:
MTV: With all that’s going on with your family and your humanitarian work, is it harder to get up and go make a movie now?
Jolie: Yeah, it’s not the thing you love the most. I love being a mom and I do love traveling and the work I get to do with children in the field and with refugees. Brad and I take turns working. So instead of it being “I get to work next,” it’s “You have to work next, because it’s your turn. I’m staying home with the kids.”
And then there’s this little gem:
MTV: You show off a lot of tattoos in the film. Are they all yours?
Jolie: No, we added a bunch. I had “toil” and “tears” based on [Winston] Churchill’s speech. I had binary codes that are actually my kids’ initials. I have “strength of will” in four different languages. “Know your rights” in different languages. It’s things like that. Very few people pick up on it, but it was [something I did] for me.
Hmm, really? Let’s check this out, shall we?
Here’s a good pic that shows the tattoos fairly well! Now a closeup…

Are they really the initials? Here’s the alphabet in binary code:
A = 01000001 B = 01000010 C = 01000011 D = 01000100 E = 01000101 F = 01000110 G = 01000111 H = 01001000 I = 01001001 J = 01001010 K = 01001011 L = 01001100 M = 01001101 N = 01001110 O = 01001111 P = 01010000 Q = 01010001 R = 01010010 S = 01010011 T = 01010100 U = 01010101 V = 01010110 W = 01010111 X = 01011000 Y = 01011001 Z = 01011010
When you translate it it turns out to be: BP (Brad Pitt), ZM (Zahara Marley), PT (Pax Thien), MC (Maddox Chivan), and SN (Shiloh Nouvel).
How cool is that?!

I love how her family is always close to her heart…even in the tattoos she uses onscreen.
That was good interview, and just makes the wait for the movie even more exciting.
