“You have to laugh at the timing,” Jolie said. “I was sure nothing could stop me from supporting Unbroken. I am heartbroken to miss our premiere, most of all the chance to be there with Louie’s family.”
Unbroken studio Universal wished Jolie a “speedy recovery.”
“She is in very good spirits, considering after two years of hard work, she will not be there the night it finally premieres,” the studio said in a statement.
Unbroken has its Los Angeles premiere Dec. 15. The film opens Christmas Day.
