It added that Shefler “has gained notoriety through cutthroat business tactics and dubious professional associations” and the association with him “jeopardises the reputation of the brand Pitt so carefully built”. The sale helped launch a “hostile” takeover of the wine business that the actor had “carefully built” and forced him into partnership with “a stranger with poisonous associations and intentions”. Lawyers on behalf of the Fight Club star said under his stewardship, the business had grown into a “multimillion-dollar international success story” though Jolie had “contributed nothing”.

They go on: “All of this is the direct result of Jolie's unlawful and tortious conduct. The papers accuse Shefler of jeopardising the “reputation of the brand Pitt so carefully built”. They add that after Shefler’s “desperate attempts to disassociate himself from the Putin regime” Stolichnaya “has been the object of boycotts throughout the world”.

Actor alleges that Jolie sold her share in their wine company to a rival investor 'in secret, knowingly and purposefully violating his contractual rights'
Pitt says that Jolie is selling her share to Tenute del Mondo, a wine-making company “indirectly owned and controlled by Yuri Shefler, the Russian billionaire who controls the Stoli Group” and which is “bent on taking control of Miraval”. After the couple divorced in 2019, Jolie was cleared to sell her share in 2021 for $164m (£131.2m) before their wider financial settlement was finalised. Brad Pitt has claimed that former wife Angelina Jolie deliberately “sought to inflict harm on” him by selling her share of their wine company to a rival investor.

He also accused Jolie of contributing “nothing to Miraval’s success.” He added that they had agreed to never sell their respective interests in the family business without the other’s consent.

As much as I'm looking forward to David Leitch's Bullet Train, I am very relieved to finally have a new trailer for the Brad Pitt-and-friends action-comedy.
Just as Brad Pitt offered added value to Bullock and Channing Tatum’s The Lost City, Bullock is returning the favor, albeit in a less flashy capacity, in Bullet Train. Considering Leitch co-directed the first John Wick with Chad Stahelski back in 2014, maybe there’s hope that John Wick: Chapter 4 (due next March) will find room for Keanu Reeves’ Speed/The Lake House co-star just for fun. As Paramount’s The Lost City passes $100 million domestic, I’ll reiterate that Bullet Train is the next best hope for old-school movie-movies at the theatrical level. That makes sense since it’s big enough to play before the blockbusters but “small” enough (an R-rated actioner based on a novel rooted in star power and high concepts) to play before the smaller-scale and more adult-skewing flicks.
Along with Pitt, Bullet Train boasts a stacked ensemble cast that also includes Bad Bunny, Brian Tyree Henry, Zazie Beetz, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Andrew Koji, ...
The bulk of the trailer is packed with a mix of high-octane action and goofy bits as Ladybug squares off against his numerous nemeses, all of whom just happen to have tickets on this same train as well. That, obviously, proves to be easier said than done when his seemingly simple assignment of stealing a brief case on a speeding train inadvertently reunites him with an array of old foes. The clip begins with Pitt’s character — codename, Ladybug — getting his latest assignment while insisting he’s out to change his ways after a bunch of fatal accidents and incidents in his past.
Brad Pitt is suing Angelina Jolie for allegedly inflicting "harm" to their shared wine company and the case is drawing Depp v Heard comparisons.
Depp was also found liable on one of three defamation counts and ordered to pay Heard $2 million. He had asked for $50 million in damages, and while the jury favored heavily with Depp by declaring Heard guilty on all three counts of defamation, they determined his damages to be $15 million in total. In a court filing with the Superior Court of California, Pitt's lawyers claim that Jolie's goal was to "inflict harm on Pitt. Jolie knew and intended that [businessman Yuri] Shefler and his affiliates would try to control the business Pitt had built and undermine Pitt’s investment in Miraval.”
The sale helped launch a "hostile" takeover of the wine business that the Fight Club actor had "carefully built", documents claim.

Brad Pitt leads "John Wick" director David Leitch's action-comedy "Bullet Train" with an all-star ensemble cast, in theaters August 5.
“We were fortunate to be shooting in LA during a time when artists were ready to get back to work and having Brad on the project — hot off an Oscar win and having a great script by Zak Olkewicz — really did attract the best people,” Leitch told Vulture. “We were able to get people back to work safely during a pandemic, which is pretty amazing.” It’s all an attempt to turn Ladybug’s “biblical” bad luck around after a series of mishaps on the job, including a suicidal bellboy and a bad run-in with a fellow hitman, played by Benito A Martínez Ocasio aka Bad Bunny. The official Sony synopsis reads: “An original movie event, ‘Bullet Train’ is a fun, delirious action-thriller from the director of ‘Deadpool 2,’ David Leitch. Brad Pitt headlines an ensemble cast of eclectic, diverse assassins — all with connected yet conflicting objectives — set against the backdrop of a non-stop ride through modern-day Japan.”
The film stars Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Benito A Martínez Ocasio and Sandra ...
His latest mission puts him on the world’s fastest bullet train in Japan, with a variety of lethal adversaries from around the globe who appear to all have the same goal in mind.

Bullet Train is directed by David Leitch (Deadpool 2), with a screenplay by Zak Olkewicz, based on the book by Kotaro Isaka. The film is produced by Kelly McCormick, David Leitch and Antoine Fuqua. Executive producers include Brent O’Connor, Ryosuke Saegusa, Yuma Terada and Kat Samick.
Brad Pitt claimed Angelina Jolie intentionally “sought to inflict harm” on him by selling part of their Miraval wine company to a “stranger,” accusing his ...
The document then goes on to accuse Jolie of contributing “nothing to Miraval’s success” and undermining that success by selling to Shefler, who is “bent on taking control of Miraval.” The filing reads, “Jolie pursued and then consummated the purported sale in secret, purposely keeping Pitt in the dark, and knowingly violating Pitt’s contractual rights.” Jolie was previously cleared to sell her share of Miraval in September, but Pitt claims that her business, Nouvel, owed his company, Mondo Bongo, the right of first refusal and this sale violates that. In his latest court documents filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday, Pitt added that he believes Jolie intentionally “sought to inflict harm on” him by selling her interests in their company, per People. The actor claims that he and Jolie had an agreement that neither would sell their business interests in Miraval without the other party’s consent. In October 2021, Jolie sold her stake in Château Miraval, the French castle and wine brand she previously owned with Pitt, to Tenute del Mondo, the wine division of the Stoli Group. Jolie and Pitt purchased a controlling stake in Château Miraval in 2008 and got married there in 2014.
In newly filed court documents, actor Brad Pitt is accusing his ex-wife Angelina Jolie of contributing nothing to the success of their French vineyard.
Brad Pitt is suing ex-wife Angelina Jolie, claiming that she intentionally sought to “inflict harm” on the reputation of their previously co-owned wine business, Miraval, by selling her shares of the company to a “stranger,” People reports. Pitt also alleges in the lawsuit that Jolie contributed “nothing to [Château] Miraval’s success” and that instead it was Pitt who turned the wine company “into a multimillion-dollar global business and one of the world’s most highly regarded producers of rosé wine.” According to People, lawyers representing Pitt claim that when Jolie sold her shares to a Luxembourg-based spirits manufacturer owned by Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler, she meant to harm the reputation of “the brand Pitt so carefully built.” Pitt’s documents include a claim that the couple agreed to not sell shares of their co-owned estate without notifying the other party beforehand, and cite a breach of contract between Pitt’s company, Mondo Bongo, and Jolie’s business, Nouvel. However, the BBC reports that Jolie did inform Pitt of her “painful” decision to sell in January 2021.
Apple Original Films has emerged as the highest bidder for Brad Pitt's movie about Formula One racing, with Joseph Kosinki directing.
Apple Original Films, which became the first streaming service to win the Oscar for best picture for “CODA,” has been making moves (and dropping serious amounts of cash) to ramp up its movie library. Ehren Kruger, one of the three screenwriters on “Top Gun: Maverick,” is responsible for penning the screenplay. Apple recently acquired “12 Years a Slave” filmmaker Steve McQueen’s World War II film “Blitz.” Up next, the streamer is debuting “Cha Cha Real Smooth,” a feel-good comedic drama about a bar mitzvah DJ who strikes up a friendship with an older woman, on June 17.
Apple Studios has locked in its deal to acquire Joseph Kosinski's Formula One racing film, starring Academy Award winner Brad Pitt.
Pitt and Kosinski are repped by CAA, which handled the auction. For Pitt, this marks the second movie package megadeal in the past few months, after Apple acquired an untitled film that Spider-Man director Jon Watts will direct, with Pitt and George Clooney starring as two lone wolf “fixers” assigned to the same job. PREVIOUS EXCLUSIVE, JANUARY 3: Apple is in exclusive negotiations and will close the first big film package of the new year.
