Jennifer Aniston is probably a little happy about this.

Radar Online reported Brad Pitt's woman is being sued for stealing the plotline of her new film, In the Land of Blood and Honey, from James J. Braddock.

The Croatian journalist and author claimed in legal documents that the 36-year-old took the idea for her movie from an article he wrote and published four years ago.

Us Weekly reported the film revolves around a couple who is forced apart by 1992's Bosnian War.

"The film is specific to the Bosnian War, but it's also universal," Jolie said.

"I wanted to tell a story of how human relationships and behavior are deeply affected by living in side a war."

According to the lawsuit, "The Subject Work's main female character is subject to continuous abuse and rape by soldiers and officers in the camp. In addition to being raped continuously by soldiers and officers, she is forced to become a servant at the camp headquarters, a duty assumed by very few of the captives. The Motion Pictures main female character is also subject to continuous rape by soldiers and officers in the camp and subsequently becomes a servant at camp headquarters," which is very similar to Braddock's article.

In the Land of Blood and Honey is the first film Jolie wrote and the second one she's directed. It opens in theaters December 23.
