Super World Travelers, What's So Great About Wannsee?

September 24, 2008 at 9:15 AM | 0 Comments

Southern France is so last summer: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have moved their brood to a southwestern corner of Berlin known for its lakes and historical infamy. Picturesque Wannsee features a long inland beach along two lakes that's perfect for the Jolie-Pitt kids, so long as nannies abound.

Pitt just signed on to Quentin Tarantino's remake of the Italian World War II classic "Inglorious Bastards," in which a group of prisoners escape around D-Day and find themselves wedged between both sides. The film is shooting in nearby Potsdam in the next few months, allowing Pitt to commute to "work." ("Inglorious Bastards" costars "National Treasure"'s Diane Kruger, horror director Eli Roth and "The Office"'s B.J. Novak.)

Sadly for us, it looks like the closest the Super World Travelers are going to get to the US this fall is on the big screen: Pitt's "Burn After Reading" topped the box office two weekends ago, while Jolie's "Changeling" will be feted at the New York Film Festival.

Wannsee is known to German history buffs as the location for the conference that outlined the "Final Solution"--the nest of policies that led to the Holocaust--in 1942.
