Angelina Jolie and her daughter Zahara made a striking and coordinated appearance at the premiere of their new film titled Without Blood on Monday. This premiere followed Maddox's decision, Angelina's eldest son, to remove Brad Pitt's name from his surname. Maddox, 25, has recently changed his name to Maddox Chivan Jolie.

Film's Theme and Features
The film Without Blood, set to be released on September 18, is described as a story with themes of family, war, and revenge. Angelina Jolie, the film's director, said about it: "This film addresses global truths about trauma, memory, and healing. The emotional closeness and candor that the actors and production team brought to this work were extraordinary and exciting."
She also expressed hope that the brave performances of Salma Hayek and Demián Bichir would inspire the discussions that Baricco sought in writing his novel.
Change of Surname
This event occurred as Maddox has recently legally removed his father's surname, Brad Pitt. He made this decision following his sister Shiloh's, 20, similar move. Zahara and the other twins in the family, Vivienne and Knox, 18, also informally do not use their father's surname and are working to legally change their names.
The ruling on Maddox's surname change was made in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, where the judge stated, "There are no objections, and the name change request is granted."
This event also highlights the increasing distance between the Jolie and Pitt families. While Pitt is currently involved with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, his relationship with his older children is reportedly under significant strain, and information suggests that he has limited contact with them.
This premiere, in addition to showcasing Angelina Jolie's acting and directing talents, became a milestone in her personal life and that of her family. Given the changes in her children's surnames and their independent decisions, it seems this family is moving towards creating a new and independent identity.
