Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are joining professional forces for their first project together
as producers, with HBO the beneficiary of their work.

The couple will executive produce an untitled drama about an international aid
organization, focusing on both political maneuvering at the top and the struggles of aid
workers on the ground. Scott Burns, a co-writer of "The Bourne Ultimatum," will write the
and also serve as an exec producer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Jolie has been in this territory as an actress before, starring in the 2003 movie "Beyond
Borders." Both she and Pitt are also active in humanitarian causes; their eponymous
foundation supports groups such as Doctors Without Borders, and Jolie has been a
United Nations goodwill ambassador for the past several years.

Pitt is currently starring in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"
and has several movie projects on deck. As a producer, he\'s teaming with "Fight Club"
co-star Edward Norton for the HBO miniseries "Undaunted Courage," based on Stephen
Ambrose\'s book about the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Jolie starred in "A Mighty Heart" (for which Pitt was a producer) earlier this year and will
next be seen (in animated form) in "Beowulf," which hits theaters in November.
