The script has been written by Eric Roth, who is a dear friend and a brilliant writer. "Brad Pitt's leading lady added, "She's complicated. It's complicated to get this one right. I think we're getting there. It's getting close. "I imagine the preparation for it is going to be big.
It's one of those that you think maybe that's the one you put everything into and that's where you end it, that's where you finish – in a great way. What could you do beyond that one?"

"I've had a wonderful career and I'm very happy to have had all the opportunities to tell stories and work for as long as I have," she said.
"I'm sure there will be more films but I am happy I am able to be selective and have fun with characters like this. But I would like to focus on writing and directing, and above all I would like to focus more on my work with the UN."
