Angelina Jolie is also known for doing bold scenes in movies. In Michael Cristofer’s 2001 movie, Original Sin, she had a wild intimate scene with Antonio Banderas. However, the Eternals actor admits that the Phillip Noyce 1999 crime thriller, The Bone Collector was a pretty wild ride. And doing the movie was not easy. In the movie, she played a cop that was on the hunt for a serial killer and the journey was dark with twists and turns. She once told Dark Horizons,
“This one was less extreme but nearly drove me insane because she was so insane inside. Sometimes with the extreme ones, you’re a character so you are free; this one was like: Be yourself, let those tears fall, be simple, and be still. You can’t hide. Sometimes it can be harder.”
Jolie continued,
“It was really lonely and I went a bit nuts. From the beginning, I felt as if I was not capable of doing this, of leading a film and being responsible for this, of physically handling this, of saving a life and going in there and being a cop.”
Jolie admitted that the film really took a toll on her mental state. She even began to question herself,
“It was just all those things by yourself: Am I good enough, am I worth anything, really, on a spiritual deep level?”

Adding further, she said that one must get through such things after getting into it. Like the character she played in the movie, Jolie managed to overcome her self-doubt later.

In The Bone Collector, Jolie had an onscreen romance with Denzel Washington. Jolie plays Washington’s love interest, who is a quadriplegic forensics expert. Helping the case Jolie was working on, both developed a romantic build-up. The romance between the characters is quite important to the development of the movie. Jolie stated that her character was more into building intimacy rather than physicality. “It was great seducing someone with your mind, a huge turn-on,” she said.

“What’s fascinating are the journeys these two characters undertake, and the deep relationship that evolves between them,” she said. “The best sex I ever had was in this movie,” she added, implying the depth of such intimacy between her and Washington’s character.

Both the actors collaborated in The Bone Collector for the first time, but Washington was familiar with Jolie’s earlier works.

In an interview with Tim Lammers, Washington once said, “She has a shot and then some.”
“I was saying earlier, when I first saw her in Gia, I was like, ‘Wow, this girl is really, really good.’ And I didn’t know, she probably didn’t like to talk about it too much, but I didn’t know who her father was. A great actor, Jon Voight. So she’s got the genes.”
The movie was a commercial success. Based on the 1997 crime novel of the same name written by Jeffery Deaver, The Bone Collector earned $151.5 million against a budget of $48 million.
