Angelina Jolie the Hollywood actress who was relocated to Budapest for a Bosnia love story movie was told that she could no longer film Sarajevo or Zenica. Also her filming permit had been revoked.
Hollywood trade daily Variety reported that the film will tell the story of a Serbian man and Bosnian woman who fall in love in the middle of the war, but are driven to take different paths.
However Bosnian press reported the movie would be a love story between a Muslim victim and her rapist, a Serb, causing outrage among victims' groups.
The culture minister said that while he could not stop the film from being shot somewhere else, revoking the filming license was a way to "express our disapproval for the shooting of a movie which does not tell the truth and hurts a large number of victims".
Jolie has already started shooting the film in Hungary and was planning to continue it in Bosnia.
According to Bosnian actress Zana Marjanovic, who has landed the lead in the movie, the film is "an epic drama against the backdrop of the 1992-92 Bosnian war".
