Universal Studios wants Jolie to star in the film, which will be directed by "Beauty and the Beast (2017)" helmer Bill Condon. It is said that the studio is eyeing her to play the Bride, reports hollywoodreporter.com.

However, the negotiations with Jolie haven't begun yet, despite "Bride of Frankenstein" being the only Dark Universe film after "The Mummy" which already has a release date.

Jolie is still hurt and angry at Pitt for leaving her and their children, but Pitt is ready to start dating again, reports hollywoodlife.com.

"She's still hurt by how Brad's friends seem to dislike her - and she's confided to her own friends that Brad broke her heart, and that she's still angry at him for throwing his family away. The past eight months have been the toughest time of her life, but Angie's finally feeling strong enough to talk about her ordeal," said a source.

"She has started to tell friends about how things fell apart because of Brad's drinking and his failings as a father - and what really happened between him and Maddox on that airplane," the source added.

The two were on Wednesday spotted together at a sushi restaurant in Beverly Hills, along with four of her children with Brad Pitt: Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, and 8-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, reports hollywoodlife.com.
