After making their Marvel debut together in Eternals, Angelina Jolie will direct her friend Salma Hayek in the upcoming movie, Without Blood.
Now that production's over, Hayek has a lot to say about Jolie's work as a director and called her "the best director" the she's ever worked with.
Hayek spoke with Deadline about the experience and couldn't stop gushing over Jolie.
"I absolutely loved working with [Jolie]; enjoyed every second of it. It’s a tough piece but it was so delicious to come to work every single day," she said. "She is a genius and I think this might be her best movie yet. She did an amazing job, really.”
But her praise of Jolie didn't stop there, as Hayek continued to fawn over the star.
"I was completely blown away by her mind, her dedication, her technical knowledge, and her control of every aspect, as well as her vision which is so clear. She is so good with the actors, so passionate, and so focused."
Hayek also took a moment to praise how well Jolie treated everyone on set.
"Most of all, I was blown away by her kindness to every single person on the set. I talked about this with my co-star Demián Bichir and we were saying, ‘Wow, she’s really something,'” the 55-year-old told the publication.
Jolie wrote and directed the upcoming film, Without Blood, which is an adaptation of the book of the same name by Alessandro Baricco.
According to the official description of the film that was shared with PEOPLE, the movie is "an unforgettable fable set in the aftermath of an unidentified conflict [which] explores universal truths about war, trauma, memory, and healing."
While Without Blood is a meaningful project that friends Jolie and Hayek worked on together, it's even more significant because Jolie's two sons, 18-year-old Pax and 21-year-old Maddox, were also able to be apart of the movie's production crew.
A premiere date for the film has not yet been announced.
