Washington:
Brad Pitt is believed to be in talks to star in his wife's upcoming directorial project 'Africa.'
The drama centers on an archaeologist, Richard Leakey, who became a champion against elephant poaching in the late '80s, and Jolie, who had last worked with Pitt, 51, a decade ago in 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith,' admitted that she felt like it was time to work with him again, People magazine reported.
The 39-year-old star had said in a statement that she felt a deep connection to Africa and its culture, and was taken with Eric Roth's beautiful script about a man drawn into the violent conflict with elephant poachers who emerged with a deeper understanding of man's footprint and a profound sense of responsibility for the world around him.
The couple, who is parents to six kids, had recently reunited on screen for 'By the Sea', the Jolie's third film in the director's chair.
