Angelina Jolie's legal team filed a motion on Thursday (April 4) to compel Brad Pitt's communications stemming from an "all-encompassing" nondisclosure agreement he wanted that purportedly tanked the sale of his ex-wife's share of their Chateau Miraval winery to him.

The former Hollywood power couple's protracted legal dispute over the winery – and its legacy for their six children – took another turn as Jolie's team asked a judge to compel Pitt and his company, Mondo Bongo, to produce documents pertaining to his calling for a "more onerous NDA" in order to purchase Jolie's share of the south-of-France winery.
