Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are planning to work on something "experimental" together.
The couple - who met on the set of 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' in 2005 - are teaming up again for a new big screen outing written by the actress, but the brunette beauty insists it won't be a blockbuster like their previous collaboration.
She said: "I wrote something a few years ago for Brad and me. Just for fun.
"Just an independent little art piece. Because we don't get to do those as much as we'd like. But it's something really small and experimental."
Brad and Angelina's five-year-old daughter Vivienne appears alongside her mother in new movie 'Maleficent' as the young Princess Aurora but the Hollywood star admits she and her fiance - who also have children Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and Vivienne's twin brother Knox - were reluctant for her to be in the film.
However, Angelina felt there was no choice as other children were so terrified of the title character she plays in the film, a reimagining of the 'Sleeping Beauty' story.
Speaking to People magazine, she said: "I don't want our kids to be actors. But we realised early on that four and five year olds were not going to be comfortable in a scene with me. I would say hello to kids and they would cry.
"So I went back and said, 'Maybe...' So Brad and I had a long talk about it because it wasn't an easy choice to kind of make her [Vivienne] more public. But we thought less of that and more of time spent on-set with Mommy."

Neil Patrick Harris was asked to present 'The Late Show'.
The 'How I Met Your Mother' actor - who raises twins Harper and Gideon, three, with partner David Burtka - was asked to replace David Letterman on the nightly talk show and even got as far as meeting with CBS executives to discuss the opportunity.
He said: "They called me in and sat me down and asked if that would be something that I would be interested in doing."
However, despite the lucrative offer, the 40-year-old actor turned down the job as he worried about getting "bored" and wanted more flexible working.
Speaking on 'The Howard Stern Show'. he said: "In that instance I felt like I knew what my skill sets were. I was surprised that he pitched me that idea, and I sort of sat for a minute with it and told him the things that concerned me about the longevity of that kind of gig.
"I would get bored of the repetition fast, and the structure is so set that I don't have any interest in doing monologue, commercial, sketch, guest, guest, musical act, good night."
Instead, Neil revealed he may instead front a weekly variety show for the network.
Letterman will retire from 'The Late Show' next year, with Stephen Colbert taking over as host.

Keith Urban was "heartbroken" not to support Nicole Kidman at the Cannes Film Festival.
The country singer admitted on last night's (14.05.14) episode of 'American Idol' he was missing his spouse, who is in France promoting her new movie 'Grace of Monaco', so insisted on having a framed photograph of her on the judge's table.
He said: "My wife is at the Cannes Film Festival tonight and it's heartbreaking I can't be there. This is her on the red carpet as of tonight, so I'm going to pretend she's here and that I'm there all at the same time. It's the one night I couldn't be there."
The 46-year-old star - who has children Sunday, five, and Faith, three, with Nicole - also apologised for a raunchy joke he made when asked by host Ryan Seacrest who his wife was wearing.
He replied: "I don't know. Unfortunately, not me, but I don't know who that is. Did I just say that? That is my inside voice, I'm sorry."
Meanwhile, Nicole - who walked the red carpet at the film festival in a blue beaded, strapless Armani dress, which she teamed with Jimmy Choo shoes and Harry Winston jewellery - admitted in Cannes that her personal life always comes before her career.
Asked what she would opt for if she were forced to choose, she replied: "I would [choose love], absolutely. I wouldn't even think twice about it."

The hotel employee who leaked footage of Solange Knowles attacking Jay Z has been fired.
New York's Standard Hotel announced yesterday (14.05.14) it has identified and terminated the contract of the person responsible for "breaching the security polices of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video".
It's believed the shocking footage, which was recorded in an elevator at the hotel at a Met Gala after party on May 5, was sold for around $250,000 to gossip website TMZ.
The hotel has now reportedly hired Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer to find out who sold the CCTV recording.
A source told E! News: "There are only a handful of people who'd have access to that tape. The Standard owns that tape.
"Once it was out, Jay Z's people felt they couldn't control it. They were reluctant to try and publicly fight this."
The Standard initially said it was "shocked and disappointed" that the footage had made its way online earlier this week and vowed to support a police investigation into its leak by handing over "all available information".
The three-minute long clip shows Solange, 27, throwing kicks and punches at her 44-year-old brother-in-law. Jay's wife, Solange's sister Beyonce, is also seen in the footage but does not get involved in the altercation.
Meanwhile, it's claimed that Jay - real name Shawn Carter - and Solange were seen shopping together at a high-end jewellery store in New York City on Tuesday (13.05.14), suggesting all is well in the Knowles-Carter family.

Justin Bieber wants to be the "man his mother raised".
The 20-year-old singer has spoken out to defend himself over allegations he tried to take a woman's cell phone because she tried to take a photograph of him while playing mini-golf, insisting the "truth" will out and admitting he sometimes struggles to "take the high road" while constantly being judged and "harassed" in public.
Alongside a screengrab of a TMZ report stating an employee at Sherman Oaks Castle Park insisted he never tried to rob anyone, Justin tweeted: "It is hard to defend myself and my privacy every moment of the day. Then to see rumors. The truth will set u free.(sic)"
He then continued: "My mom raised me to be kind to others. I get judged, harassed, and I try to take the high road. Sometimes it isn't easy. But we keep trying...
"I will continue to be the man my mother raised. I love people and I will try to be kind even when things are not fair. Don't believe rumors...(sic)"
The 'Believe' hitmaker went on to thank fans for their support and insisted he was trying not to let the allegations upset him.
He added: "Thanks for those who stick by me and those that help me grow everyday. I love you. (sic)
"Off to have fun and smile with friends. I'm human. I feel. I hurt. But I got thick skin too. I can handle it. I love you."
And he then suggested he was looking to the future, tweeting: "What is to come" alongside a link to an interview with L.A. Reid hinting at a future project with the 'Beauty and a Beat' star.
It had been reported that Justin demanded to see the alleged victim's phone so he could delete pictures he believed she had taken of him, but when she refused, he grabbed it from her bag.
She began "wrestling" with the star for the phone and although he allegedly "ripped it out of her hands" he wasn't able to access the pictures because the phone was locked.
Justin then demanded she unlock it and she proved she hadn't taken any photographs, before the star "screamed" at her and upset her 13-year-old daughter.
Following the incident the woman filed a complaint with the LAPD, who have not yet spoken to the singer.

Rita Ora claims an obsessed fan wanted to kill her.
The 23-year-old star loves her fans, who are affectionately nicknamed Rita-bots, but she sometimes feels as though they expect too much from her, and when they react aggressively she feels un-safe.
She said: "It's nice to be accepted by my Rita-bots and I am always honest with them. But there was one person in New York who scared me.
"He was following us everywhere. I had no idea how he got to places I was going to but he would and he always, always asked for a picture.
"But one day his camera fell on the floor while it was raining and I've never seen anyone turn so angry. That was weird - you give people what they want and then they go too far, and want to kill you."
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker - who is dating Scottish DJ Calvin Harris - admits that although she sometimes feels threatened by fans, she's still comfortable being herself in interviews, and for the most part she doesn't feel as though she has to keep things private.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: "At the moment I don't worry about it. I'm as open as I want to be. I tell the truth in interviews, you always have control over it.
"If I don't want people to know something then I won't tale about it.
"And there's a way of stopping stories coming out in the press."

George Clooney is buying a house in London.
The 'Monuments Men' actor - who got engaged to British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin last month - is planning to splash out on a new property in the UK city because his bride-to-be doesn't want to have to relocate her career.
A source told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "Amal wants to continue her work, and George is very supportive and proud of her career. He will soon be going to London so they can look for a new home there together."
It was recently claimed that the couple are planning a low-key wedding at George's Italian estate.
A source said recently: "The important people will be there, but this is private, not for public consumption, so it will be friends and family only.
"It was a long time coming, but when George commits to something he really sees it through. Amal is the one."
The 53-year-old hunk has resigned from his United Nations (UN) role as a messenger for peace, and friends say that is because he intends to team up with Amal for a new project.
A source said: "He's hitching his wagon to Amal's so he wants a clean slate in every sense.
"They're not just planning to live together, they're planning to work together too. As a team they could be unbeatable."
