Angelina Jolie's Dad Teams with Controversial Director on 'Secret' Israel Film

SHOCKING CASTING CHOICE: Oscar Winner Jon Voight Teams Up with Troubled Filmmaker Bryan Singer for New Movie

The Hollywood scandal machine is churning out another juicy story, and this one involves none other than Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight! The 86-year-old patriarch of the Jolie-Voight clan has been spotted collaborating with embattled filmmaker Bryan Singer on a new historical drama film. Yes, you read that right - the same Bryan Singer who's been at the center of numerous sex abuse allegations and was fired from directing Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody in 2017.

According to insiders, Voight and Singer shot their still-untitled film in Greece back in 2023, but few details are available about the project. One thing is for sure, though - this movie is going to be a hotbed of controversy! A source close to the production claims that it's a period piece set in the Middle East, focusing on an architect searching for salvation, and that it "makes Israel look really bad."

Now, we know what you're thinking: "What's Bryan Singer got to do with Israel?" Well, it turns out that Singer has been quite chummy with the Israeli government in recent years. In 2023, he was reported to have moved to Israel several years earlier and had even pitched multiple films set in the country! Coincidence? Maybe not.

But let's get back to Voight and Singer's film. The project is said to be a period drama that explores the relationship between a father and son in the late 1970s or early 1980s, an era marked by turmoil and conflict - particularly in Lebanon, where Israel had launched a military campaign against the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Sounds like a recipe for disaster!

While Voight's involvement with Singer is no surprise given their shared right-wing leanings (Voight even pitched a plan to President Donald Trump to "save Hollywood" earlier this year), it's still a shocking choice considering Singer's reputation. The X-Men director has been accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple men, including a 14-year-old extra on the set of his 1998 film Apt Pupil.

In case you're not up-to-date on Singer's scandals: In 2014, he was sued by Michael Egan III for allegedly drugging and raping him in Hawaii (Egan later dropped the lawsuit after Singer presented evidence suggesting he wasn't even there). Then, in 2017, Cesar Sanchez-Guzman alleged that Singer had raped him when he was just 17. The case was settled out of court with a $150,000 payout.

But here's the thing: despite all these allegations and settlements, Bryan Singer still managed to land himself a directing credit on Bohemian Rhapsody after being fired from the project! Talk about audacity!

Now, we're not sure what to make of Voight's decision to collaborate with this troubled filmmaker. Was he oblivious to Singer's reputation? Or was it a deliberate choice? One thing is for certain - this movie is going to be a lightning rod for controversy and will likely polarize audiences.

When reached out by thescholarlynote.com, representatives for Voight and Singer declined to comment on their collaboration. But we're sure that fans of the duo are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a juicy ride!
