Highlights

  • The first directorial project by Hollywood star Angelina Jolie is named in legal documents filed in federal court by Croatian journalist and author James J Braddock.
  • The journalist claimed that he published an article about a woman raped by soldiers before Jolie wrote similar storyline for In the Land of Blood and Honey, reported Ace Showbiz.
  • Three weeks before the premiere of the film premiere date, a lawsuit threatens to prevent it from ever seeing the light.

  • "The Subject Work's main female character is subject to continuous abuse and rape by soldiers and officers in the camp. In addition to being raped continuously by soldiers and officers, she is forced to become a servant at the camp headquarters, a duty assumed by very few of the captives," the lawsuit stated.
  • "The Motion Picture's main female character is also subject to continuous rape by soldiers and officers in the camp and subsequently becomes a servant at camp headquarters," it continued.
  • Braddock is requesting the court to award him damages, naming GK Films and several other entities as the defendants as well.
