    First Look at Angelina Jolie's 'Unbroken' Debuts During Olympics

    DateMon, February 17, 2014

    The first footage of Angelina Jolie's 2nd directorial effort, Unbroken, debuted last night in a special TV spot during the Olympics.

    For those unfamiliar, the film tells the incredible true story of Louis Zamperini, a former Olympian and WWII bombardier whose plane crashed at sea in 1943.  Zamperini - along with two other crew members - drifted at sea for 47 days, only to be captured by the Japanese and sent to a POW camp.

    The real Louis Zamperini is featured in the footage shown as he recounts his story along with pictures of Jolie working on the film.

    Newcomer Jack O'Connell plays the title role of Zamperini, and with the impressive footage shown (courtesy of legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins), this looks to be a breakout role for the young actor.  Nice to see an unknown getting such a high-profile project.

    Unbroken opens in theaters Christmas Day.
