Earlier reports had been that Tom Cruise would play the lead role as Edwin A. Salt - a CIA officer accused of being a Russian sleeper spy and must prove his innocence. Much like Jason Bourne…
Well, if it were Tom Cruise playing the role, I think he would’ve gotten the Bourne flak thrown at him, but now that he’s changed his mind and Angelina Jolie’s in the fray, everyone agrees it’s a unique and wonderful idea! Lolz!
The casting choice was a surprise but it does seem fitting. With the success of Wanted (of which she did not even speak), and Mr. and Mrs. Smith (where she bagged Brad Pitt), with a little tweak of the script, I think it’s safe to say that this movie’s gonna kick ass.
Salt (no official name yet) is expected to be released in 2010.
