While the movie is generating some serious Oscar buzz for its director, maybe its title song will also earn an Oscar nod? After all, it has just been announced today Angelina Jolie's Unbroken soundtrack has one song that was recorded by a Grammy award winning band.
According to the official Coldplay Twitter account, the band has just recorded a song especially created for Angelina Jolie's Unbroken movie. "Band just finished beautiful new song Miracles for the epic #Unbrokenmovie, directed by Angelina Jolie. PH" PH is of course Phil Harvey, the manager and creative director for the UK band.
Angelina Jolie's Unbroken is the actress' second directorial project. The movie revolves around the story of a real life war hero, who happens to also be her neighbor in Los Angeles. The actress was looking for inspiration on what to do next in terms of her career, and little did she know that the subject of her next project was sitting just a few houses away from her LA home.
Fast forward to today, and we see the fruit of the collaboration between the Hollywood star, and her 90 year old subject. The second Angelina Jolie Unbroken trailer features Irish actor Jack O'Connell, portraying Zamperini's incredible life.
Zamperini participated in the 1936 Berlin Olympic games as part of the track and field team, and was talented enough to be noticed by Adolf Hitler himself. The track star would then sign on to be part of the U.S. Army Air Corps, where his plane crashed in the Pacific Ocean in 1943. He was adrift for more than 40 days before being captured by Japanese fishermen and locked up for two years. Zamperini was tortured brutally during those years in prison.
He eventually made his way home to the U.S., and became a born-again Christian. He has been vocal about forgiveness for the remainder of his days. Sadly, before Angelina Jolie's Unbroken movie could premiere, Zamperni passed away at age 93 after battling pneumonia for quite some time.
The world premiere of Angelina Jolie's Unbroken movie will be held in Australia, where the movie was shot, on November 17.
