Angelina Jolie has a new partner for her upcoming Netflix Original Film set in Cambodia -- her son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt!

Jolie is slated to direct First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers, based on a memoir from Cambodian writer Loung Ung about living through the Khmer Rouge regime.

Jolie released a statement about the upcoming movie which explains that her 13-year-old son Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia in 2002, will be "involved in the production of the film." The statement did not say in what capacity the oldest son of Angelina and Brad will be involved in the movie, but we look forward to hearing about how the teen will play a part in the story about the Pol Pot's Communist party that ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979 and orchestrated the Cambodian genocide.

In the press release, Jolie said, “I was deeply affected by Loung’s book. It deepened forever my understanding of how children experience war and are affected by the emotional memory of it. And it helped me draw closer still to the people of Cambodia, my son’s homeland."

We think it's wonderful the Oscar winner is honoring her son's homeland and telling an important story that should be told ...
