Angelina Jolie has decided to take a year off from the movie world.

The actress cites her desire to spend time with her husband and children as the reason behind the decision.

However, her current workload seems unlikely to allow such a break, having recently agreed to take part in two films set for 2008 release.

"I'm working this summer," she admits. "I'm in Prague for a few months, then I take two months off, then I work for two months. And then I take a year off."
