Kasalukuyang pinapalabas ang naturang pelikula sa Teatro India and Teatro Argentina in Rome until October 2.

Makikipag-compete ang Ned’s Project sa ibang films tulad ng Abbas Amini’s Valderamma (Iran), Chang Tso-chi’s Thanato’s Drunk (Taiwan), Chang Jiang Tu’s Crosscurrent (China), Bar Kaya and Soner Caner’s Rauf (Turkey), Emir Baigazin’s The Wounded Angel (Kazakhstan), Akihiko Shiota’s Wet Woman in Wind (Japan), E J-Yong’s Bacchus Lady (South Korea), K.

Isa sa controversial scene sa Ned’s Project ang love scene ni Angeli with Max Eigenmann and Dionne Monsanto.

Brad Pitt blocked na kay Angelina Jolie!

Pinutol na raw ni Angelina Jolie ang anumang communication sa estranged husband niyang si Brad Pitt sa kanya at sa kanilang anim na anak pagkatapos niyang mag-file ng divorce papers.

Ayon sa report ng Us Weekly: “Angelina has blocked all incoming text messages and also Brad’s numbers.”

Simula noong makarating kay Brad ang pag-file ni Angelina ng divorce papers, hindi na raw ito mapakali at gusto niyang ayusin pa ang lahat sa kanyang pamilya. “He is beside himself and has been crying,” ayon pa sa isang source ng Us Weekly,

“He was completely caught off-guard and blindsided and had no idea she would do this.

“Angelina filed the court papers a minute before the courts closed on Monday night. He didn’t have a lawyer or anything.

“She had threatened divorce in the past but he did not think she would file this time.”

Ayon pa sa ilang reports, hindi ang pagkakaroon ng diumanong affair ni Brad ang nag-force kay Angelina na mag-file ng divorce, kundi ang nasaksihan niyang pagiging abusive ni Brad sa kanilang relasyon at sa kanilang mga anak.

Nagmula raw ito sa isang trip nilang pamilya sakay ng isang private jet mula Nice, France papunta ng Burbank, California noong nakaraang September 14.

Ayon sa kuwento: “Pitt got drunk and was fighting with Angie. Maddox stepped in to defend Angie and got in Brad’s face.”

Ngayon ay under investigation si Brad for alleged child abuse dahil sa insidenteng iyon.

Pero ayon sa lawyer ni Pitt na ang naturang abuse ay inaccurate. “Teenagers have fights with their parents, especially when you have teens who are strong-willed and confident. You’re going to have back and forth.”
