Angelina Jolie is all set to direct 'Unbroken', after declaring that her sophomore directorial endeavor has bagged a distributor and a lead in British actor, Jack O'Connell.

The 'Salt' star will start shooting the World War II-era drama this fall, and was spotted location scouting in Hawaii on Monday, Us magazine reported.

The movie is based on the life story of Olympian and war hero Louis Zamperini, who survived on a raft for 47 days, following a fatal plane crash before being caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.
