Angelina Jolie in Gravity
安吉莉娜?朱莉《地心引力》

When she's not embarking on humanitarian crusades, Angelina Jolie is notoriously not starring in movies. Not just content with backing out of the role of Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook (which went on to win Jennifer Lawrence an Oscar), Jolie was heavily courted not once but twice to take the lead in Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity.
眾所周知，當安吉麗娜?朱莉沒有進行人道主義活動時，她是不主演電影的。朱莉不僅心甘情愿推掉出演《烏云背后的幸福線》中的蒂凡尼的機會（珍妮弗?勞倫斯憑借該片獲得奧斯卡獎），還兩次被重金邀請主演阿方索?卡隆的《地心引力》。

Warner Bros reportedly backed up a truck full of money to woo the star, but while she was intrigued by Cuarón's vision, she eventually turned it down.
據報道，華納兄弟準備了滿滿一卡車現金來爭取這位巨星，盡管她對卡隆的想象力很感興趣，但最終還是拒絕了其邀約。

In need of a major female star to anchor the project, Warner Bros considered Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson, until finally choosing Sandra Bullock for the part. It went on to win Bullock an Oscar nomination and the film itself grossed $700 million worldwide.
為了給電影《地心引力》尋找挑大梁的女主角，華納兄弟考慮過娜塔麗?波特曼、斯嘉麗?約翰遜，直到最終選擇了桑德拉?布洛克擔此大任。布洛克憑借《地心引力》獲得奧斯卡提名，而該片收獲了7億美元的全球票房。

Coincidentally, Jolie would go on to present Alfonso Cuarón with his Best Director Oscar for the film in 2014.
巧合的是，朱莉當時為卡隆頒發了2014年奧斯卡最佳導演獎。
