Angelina Jolie, the other half of the powerful "Brangelina" couple, is making a project on Netflix with her son, Maddox.

The Academy Award recipient of the prestigious Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award is set to direct a Cambodian memoir-inspired film on Netflix, People reported.

The magazine informed that the Hollywood superstar will direct, co-write the script and even produce the movie.

The film's inspiration

The "Maleficent" star's inspiration on this cuturally and socially significant film was Loung Ung's memoir "First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers."

"I was deeply affected by Loung's book... It deepened forever my understanding of how children experience war and are affected by the emotional memory of it. And it helped me draw closer still to the people of Cambodia, my son's homeland," the actress-director said in a statement.

Author's praise for Jolie

On Vanity Fair, Ung, the Cambodian author, stated that she met Jolie while the actress was visiting Cambodia in 2001 and they became closer through time. Ung said that her respect for Jolie as a "woman, a mother, a filmmaker, and a humanitarian has only grown."

"It is with great honor that I entrust my family's story to Angelina to adapt into a film," added the writer.

In the press releases, Jolie, also famed for "Unbroken," invited the movie fans to see the project, which she described as "hard to watch but important to see." She also thanked Netflix that although this kind of film is "hard to get made" it helps in "making this possible."

Brad Pitt, Jolie's popular actor-producer husband, has also created and will be releasing his film titled "War Machine" on Netflix, added People.

Truly, the "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-actors are doing their best to make relevant changes in the world. Pitt was also part of the producers of the Academy Award winning movie for Best Motion Picture of the Year (2014), "12 Years a Slave."

The pair's team-up is something meant from the start. Jolie's interview with Elle in 2014 provided more insights into the celebrity couple's relationship.

"You get together and you're two individuals and you feel inspired by each other, you challenge each other, you complement each other, drive each other beautifully crazy. After all these years, we have history-and when you have history with somebody, you're friends in such a very real, deep way that there's such a comfort, and an ease, and a deep love that comes from having been through quite a lot together," Jolie shared.
