Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie are to star together in a romantic comedy.
Thornton says the – as yet untitled - movie will be in the tradition of the Disney comedies of the 1960s.
"We're still working on it and we hope to be able to film it next year," said Thornton.
Thornton's 'Bandits' and 'The Man Who Wasn't There' are currently on release in the US.
