Speaking to the magazine, Angelina says: "I chose to set By the Sea in the 1970s, not only because it is a colourful and alluring era, but because it removes many of the distractions of contemporary life and allows the focus to remain squarely on the emotions that the characters experience in their journey."

Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley added: "I was struck by the fact that [Angelina] and Brad are willing to bring such a brave endeavour to screen and take audiences on this raw, emotional journey that’s simultaneously of its moment and surprisingly timeless."

Shooting will mainly take place in a huge seafront house, which has been erected on a cliff in Gozo to recreate the French Riviera.
