Now the master of great-and-tragic-lady biopics directs Jolie.
Let’s hope there isnt one about my life."
Unfortunately for Jolie, her storied life is prime material for a flashy biopic.

It wouldn’t, in fact, be surprising to see Larrain’sAngelinaannounced down the road.
But Jolie prefers her privacy.
Jolie fully committed herself to the task of embodying the legendary diva.
“I had somebody in my life who was not kind to me about singing,” sherevealedin August.
“It was a relationship I was in.
And so I just assumed I couldnt really sing.
Id been to theater school, so it was weird that it even had an effect on me.
I just kind of adapted to this persons opinion.
So it took me getting past a lot of things to start singing.”
LikeSpencerandJackiebefore it,Mariaisn’t a traditional biopic that covers the full sweep of Callas' life.
Callas may have objected to it, as Jolie objects to the prospect of a film about her.
