You know, it’s his life.” The movie was shot in Sydney and elsewhere around the country with Jolie telling the Sydney Morning Herald the locations, the tax incentives, and the crew were factors in filming in Australia and could see her return Down Under. “There’s very much a community -- we’ve all become friends -- and at the same time there’s a very, very strong work ethic,” she told the paper. “I love them and and I hope to come back and make another film.”

SYDNEY - Hollywood star Angelina Jolie said Tuesday she wanted her World War II epic ‘Unbroken’, which was filmed in Australia, to act as an antidote to the violence and hate in the world.

Jolie thrilled fans when she walked the red carpet with husband Brad Pitt for the Sydney premiere of the movie, which is based on the true story of a US Olympic athlete turned Japanese prisoner of war. Jolie said all the war and violence in the world today had made people question the future. “I wanted to put something out in this world that reminds us of the strength of the human spirit and brotherhood and faith and all of the things that will in the end get us through these dark times,” she told a press conference in Sydney. The film tells the story of Louis Zamperini, who competed in the 5,000m at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, before becoming a bombardier in World War II.

LOS ANGELES - Oscarwinning actor Matthew McConaughey capped off a blockbuster year Monday as he received a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. “It’s a special day, great moment in my career and for my family,” McConaughey, dressed in a light-colored suit with an open collar, said, as some of Tinseltown’s biggest names looked on. Hundreds of fans also turned out and McConaughey was accompanied by his Brazilian wife Camila Alves and their three children, Levi, Vida, and Livingston. The 45-year-old actor was also joined by producer Don Phillips and Christopher Nolan, who directed McConaughey’s
latest smash film “Interstellar.” “McConaughey works harder than anybody else. He deserves this,” said Nolan, who also directed the most recent Batman trilogy. “Interstellar” co-stars, the Oscar winner Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain, added their star quality to the glittering redcarpet event. Receiving the star caps off a particularly memorable year for McConaughey that saw him win his Oscar for best actor for his portrayal of an AIDS patient in “Dallas Buyers Club.” McConaughey also caught the eye for his roles in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Wedding Planner” and the recent hit television series “True Detective.” His breakout role came in the 1993 film “Dazed and Confused.”
