  "account": "Salma Hayek's character in Angelina Jolie's upcoming film, Without Blood, is portrayed as someone who has been seeking revenge for decades. However, she prefers to describe it as \"the drug that allows us to fight,\" deviating from the clichéd expressions surrounding revenge.\n\nWithout Blood is written, directed, and produced by Jolie, and is based on a bestselling international novel by Italian author Alessandro Baricco. The story is set in the aftermath of an unidentified conflict and delves into themes of war, trauma, memory, and healing.\n\nHayek's character's pursuit of revenge is a central theme in the film, which first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024. It opened in Italy last year and marks Jolie's first feature directorial effort since 2017's First They Killed My Father. Despite the film's focus on a war-centric subject, it shares some thematic similarities with Jolie's other directorial works.\n\nThe film features Hayek alongside Demián Bichir and Juan Minujin and is set to be released nationwide in theaters on October 18.",
