    Angelina Jolie found it “healing” to star as a “very broken person” forced to get back on her feet in her new thriller “Those Who Wish Me Dead”.

    The single mother-of-six makes her return to action movies for the first time in over a decade with the Taylor Sheridan movie, but it wasn’t the physical side of playing firefighter Hannah Faber, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder following an on-the-job tragedy she holds herself responsible for, that drew her to the project.

    Angelina, who separated from ex-husband Brad Pitt in 2016, told U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight, “I am drawn to people who have been through something and are broken and then find their way forward and overcome it.”

    “As an artist, it’s very healing to play people like that. She’s been very healing for me, because you just get so broken and then you stand back up. (Hannah is) a very broken person who carries a great deal of guilt.”

    The film follows Hannah as she tries to protect a 12-year-old boy, played by Finn Little, from a fire and the hitmen who are in hot pursuit after unwittingly witnessing a murder.

    And Angelina insists the story is more than just a “thriller”. “On its surface, it feels like a great thriller, a great adventure across an unusual terrain inside a great fire,” she said.

    “Underneath it, it’s a really emotional film. It’s about people who have a great impact on each other and change each other. Emotionally and practically, they go through the fire.”

      AceShowbiz –
      Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first official trailer of “Those Who Wish Me Dead”, a neo-Western survival action thriller starring Angelina Jolie. The Oscar-winning actress portrays Hannah, a smoke jumper who is still reeling from the loss of three lives she failed to save from a fire when she comes across a traumatized 12-year-old boy with nowhere else to turn.

      The young boy, Connor Casserly, who is portrayed by Finn Little, witnesses the murder of his father near a large national forest. Pursued by assassins intent on silencing him, he soon meets the veteran fire warden and wilderness survival expert, Hannah, who offers him shelter in her lookout tower.

      When the assassins set fire to the forest in order to cover their tracks, the pair must both survive a deadly blaze that threatens to consume them and outwit the killers on their trail.

      “Those Who Wish Me Dead” is directed by Taylor Sheridan, the writer of “Sicario” and co-creator of “Yellowstone”, with the screenplay written by Michael Koryta and Charles Leavitt and Sheridan, based on the book of the same name by Koryta.

      Described as “a female-driven neo-western set against a wildfire in the Montana wilderness,” the film also stars Nicholas Hoult as Patrick Blackwell, a trained assassin, Aidan Gillen as Patrick’s father Jack Blackwell, who is also a ruthless assassin, Jon Bernthal as a sheriff in Montana, and Tyler Perry in an undisclosed role.

      “She carries a lot of guilt, and is quite broken,” Jolie told PEOPLE of her character. “She’s a smoke jumper, and a bit of an adrenaline junkie, but she’s also somebody that has experienced tragedy, and she feels responsible for it.”

      She went on elaborating what the film is about, “On its surface, the story feels like a thriller, with a lot of really interesting characters and a great adventure across unusual terrain, inside a great fire. But, underneath, it’s an emotional film about people who are thrown together to survive.”

      “Those Who Wish Me Dead” is set to arrive in theaters and on HBO Max on May 14.
