The brand new trailer for Allied has been released just hours after news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce.
Starring Pitt and Marion Cotillard, the strategically-timed release shows the co-stars getting amorous in war-torn London.
Posted on Twitter soon after Jolie confirmed that she had filed for divorce from Pitt, film studio Paramount wrote:
“Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard star in #Allied. Watch a new look and see it in theatres November 23rd.”
The Robert Zemeckis-directed film, which opens on November 23, is about an intelligence officer who encounters a French resistance fighter in North Africa in 1942.
They later reunite in London and start a love affair, which is threatened by the war.
In the new clip, Pitt tells Cotillard: “Come with me to London to be my wife.”
Film fans were quick to note the studio’s well-timed release of the trailer, which coincided with news of Jolie and Pitt’s split.
