Angelina Jolie movies are known to carry great meaning though the 38-year-old actress isn't afraid to step out of her comfort zone from time to time.

Recent reports claim that the 'Maleficent' actress was first asked to direct the film adaptation of E.L. James' novel, 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.  In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jolie addressed the rumors.

"I came very clear out of the gate: after 'Blood and Honey', if I ever directed again, it would have to be a certain kind of film," she explained as to why she didn't take the offer.

Nonetheless, the Oscar-winning actress expressed her excitement for the film's director: "You know, I'm looking forward to seeing what Sam [Taylor-Johnson] does with Fifty Shades and she's amazing. I think they're just ... it's funny, I think with directing, you just think: I'm better at telling some stories than others but um, who knows?"

Brad Pitt's lady love's recent directorial project is 'Unbroken' which tells the story of World War hero and Olympics athlete Louis Zamperini. She and the Jolie-Pitt kids spent much time in Australia where the filming took place.

"The films that I've directed are both real stories. Even though the first one I wrote, it was based in history and you have such a responsibility - you have to be very careful of how you balance it. One day it might be fun to direct something where I don't have to be so careful. I can be completely, completely um ... bold and wild and irreverent and dark," Jolie adds.

Apart from her directorial ventures, the 'Salt' actress will likewise be busy in promoting her fairy tale-inspired film which will be shown on May 30. As its name suggests, 'Maleficent' will tell the story of the witch and why she became the reason for Sleeping Beauty's downfall.
