[ April 17th 2002 ]

Location filming on a romantic adventure movie starring Angelina Jolie is scheduled to begin Thursday in northern Thailand. Beyond Borders, about idealistic relief workers, is being directed by Martin Campbell, whose previous films include GoldenEye and Vertical Limit. Clive Owen, who most recently appeared in Gosford Park, plays Jolie's love interest.

Co-producer Lloyd Phillips said Wednesday that about five weeks of shooting in Thailand will wrap up main filming on the movie, which began production in December. Previous shooting was done in Namibia, standing in for Ethiopia, and Montreal, standing in for London and Chechnya. The film's Thai locations will stand in for Cambodia, the site of an extended humanitarian crisis throughout the 1980s as it struggled to recover from the devastating rule of the communist Khmer Rouge. Phillips said he expects the film to be released around Christmas.

The story, which covers a 10-year period, takes its protagonists from London to Ethiopia to Cambodia and Chechnya. Jolie plays a married American socialite in London who falls in loves with an idealistic doctor played by Owen. In real life, Jolie serves as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and has visited relief camps in Cambodia, Pakistan and Africa. The star of "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" and her husband, actor Billy Bob Thornton, recently adopted a Cambodian infant.
