The Hollywood couple, who remain unmarried after nearly a decade together, will play husband and wife in a movie
Brad Pitt and Anjelina Jolie, who remain unmarried in real life, will play husband and wife in a new film.  Pitt, 50, is likely to receive a lesser fee than his wife who wrote the movie and will direct it, according to The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood Reporter.

The new film is By the Sea which has been described as an "intimate character driven drama" by Universal Pictures.

Speaking to Extra TV earlier this year Jolie, 39, said: "It's not a big movie, not an action movie. It's the kind of movie we love but aren't often cast in. It's a very experimental, independent type film where we get to be actors together and be really raw, open, try things."

It is the couple's first film together since Mr & Mrs Smith in 2005 which led to their off-screen romance.

MH17: Holland comes to mournful standstill as victims of Malaysia Airlines begin journey home

As the first of MH17's 298 victims arrive in Holland from Ukraine they are greeted by a nation in still in shock

Out of the carnage, chaos and unspeakable horror finally came a moment of calm.
A small dot appeared in the cloudless blue sky above the Dutch city of Eindhoven, gradually getting larger as the first plane carrying victims of last week's Malaysia Airlines disaster came in to land.

On it were 16 bodies, carried aboard the Hercules C-130 which just a few hours earlier had set off from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.

Then came a second plane, an Australian Boeing C-17, which touched down carrying a further 24 corpses.

Finally, the victims of this awful tragedy were coming home.
As the two planes with their precious cargo taxied into position and dulled their engines in front of up to 1,000 gathered relatives, a lone trumpeter stepped forward to play the Last Post; the profoundly moving lament which echoed across a now silent airfield.

And at 4pm, this traumatised nation – from which two thirds of the MH17 passengers originated – came to a halt.

Ryder Cup 2014: Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson among those in danger of missing Ryder Cup

Time is running out for American to prove form and fitness for Geneagles while Mickelson and Westwood also face selection battle
                          Searching for form: Tiger Woods finished tied for 69th at the Open

One of these American golfing legends believes he is worth a Ryder Cup wildcard despite lying in 70th place in the standings, having missed more than three months because of back surgery and having a best finish for the year of a tie for 25th.

The other is not sure whether he is worth a wildcard, despite lying in 11th place in the standings, having three top-12 finishes in his past six outings and having recorded a fine 68 in the final round of the Open on Sunday. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have always been opposites.

However, they do at least have one thing in common. Together, with Lee Westwood from the Europe perspective, they are emerging as the main stories in the biennial Ryder Cup selection head-scratcher. This time around the cranium could bleed from all the frenzied nail rubbing.
