They endured the most public and brutal Hollywood divorce in 50 years, which is still ongoing.
But according to PageSix, one excessively optimistic producer is offering Brad Pitt, 60, and Angelina Jolie, 49, a "blank check" if they can put their love of acting over their differences and star in a movie together.
Danny Rossner, whose credits include "2001: A Space Travesty" with Leslie Neilsen and "The Ultimate Weapon" with Hulk Hogan, said he is serious about his offer and has raised $60 million from his backers to persuade Brad and Angelina to reconcile.
However, an ex-couple who has fought over custody, money, and their wine business for eight years will find it hard to accept.
The A-list split was evident in September when Venice Film Festival organizers had to screen the exes' films on alternate days.
Rossner, whose previous ten films have been B-movies, calls the picture he wants Brad and Angelina to star in his 20-year passion project.
Inspired by the real-life owner, it is a World War II love story set at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France.
According to Hello!, Brad would play hotel owner Emmanuel Martinez and Angelina his seductive mistress Emma Digard.
According to the script, they must perform close together, as Rossner admits: "There is a love scene ... It's a torrid one, too. It's not salacious but there are very heavy love scenes. [Martinez] had a wife and he had a mistress."
If the project magically makes it to the bargaining table, Angelina will likely be upset that the producer has yet to evenly split the exes' fees.
"Right now, I think, Brad Pitt's in the $20 to $25 million range [per movie] and Angelina Jolie is in the $15 million range," said Rossner.
"In the 50-percent range above their going rate is what we're prepared to offer," he told The Post.
Brad might get $37.5 million, but Angelina only $22 million.
Rossner claimed he would accommodate the estranged couple, who have been in divorce proceedings since 2016, which have never been appropriately completed despite a judge declaring them single. They would not even be in the same room, let alone film passionate scenes.
"Then [the scenes] would disappear. That is the beauty of having the right to adjust the screenplay. But they're certainly important for character development," he said.
Rossner says the casting is unlikely, but other miracles have happened recently.
"If we can have a cease fire between Israel and Lebanon, [Pitt and Jolie] can put their differences aside and come together to build a bridge and make this movie," he claimed.
Social media surged with opinions in response to the announcement, as admirers and critics expressed their views.
"This is beyond ridiculous! They can't even agree on custody, let alone a love scene," an X user shared.
"If Brad and Angelina do this, it will be the cinematic comeback of the century," another follower said.
"Danny Rossner must be dreaming. That kind of money won't fix eight years of animosity," a netizen added.
"I'm here for the drama and the headlines, even if the movie never happens," another user wrote.
"Imagine watching them pretend to love each other after all the court battles. Awkward!" a fifth person commented.
"No way Angie signs on for less than Brad-she's worth every penny," a follower noted.
