Author james j. Braddock aka Josip J. Kneževic, Angelina Jolie is being sued for allegedly stealing the plot of her upcoming film, “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” the first feature film written and directed by the actress. Bosnian-Croatian journalist and author James J. Braddock (aka Josip J. Knezevic) claimed that Jolie “copied, stole” elements of his 2007 book “The Soul Shattering” to write the script for the film.

The R-rated movie is about a Serbian man and a Bosnian woman who fall in love at the time of the Bosnian war in the 1990s and stars local actors Zana Marjanovic and Goran Kostic.

The legal filing outlines some of the similarities between the projects.

“The Subject Work’s main female character is subject to continuous abuse and rape by soldiers and officers in the camp. In addition to being raped continuously by soldiers and officers, she is forced to become a servant at the camp headquarters, a duty assumed by very few of the captives,” the legal document reads, according to Radar Online. “The Motion Picture’s main female character is also subject to continuous rape by soldiers and officers in the camp and subsequently becomes a servant at camp headquarters.”
