Pearl's parents applaud Jolie's role in drama

Slain journalist Daniel Pearl's parents have applauded Angelina Jolie for helping to turn their son's last days into a new movie, even though they were initially unsure about the project.

Ruth and Judea Pearl are convinced the casting of Jolie as their daughter-in-law Mariane in A Mighty Heart is perfect, and they're delighted the gifted actress and humanitarian is starring in the drama, which is an adaptation of Mariane's book.
