Behind the scenes, industry insiders tell RadarOnline that Jolie is drawing on the turmoil of her long-running divorce from Brad Pitt and their bitter court battle over their French winery, Château Miraval, to inform her performance. Sources indicate she is channeling years of accumulated agony into the role and has entered production with the weariness and buried fury of someone who has spent years in courtrooms fighting for her children and their dignity. A production source stated that the film's themes echo her private battles, with Jolie channeling everything from her past into her work. Additionally, the Hudson Valley has become a filming location for Sunny, with production underway in Dutchess and Orange Counties through late January. Her most recent project, Maria, in which she portrayed opera singer Maria Callas, earned widespread acclaim and award nominations earlier in the year.
