Production will begin in Spring 2010 once Nikita completes Burnt by the Sun 2, a sequel to the film that won the Oscar in 1994 for Best Foreign Language Film.
Love and War will be a joint Russian-Italian-Moldovan project meaning Italian and Moldovan directors Francesco Gagliardi and Valeriu Jereghi will also be involved.
Right now, the directors are waiting to hear Angelina's response.
"The script has already been sent to Angelina and we are waiting for her answer," said Francesco.
