OlderAngelina Jolie Replaces Tom Cruise in “Edwin A. Salt”
Angelina Jolie will be replacing Tom Cruise in the Columbia Pictures espionage thriller Edwin A. Salt.
Variety says Angie is “the rare female who is viable in an action genre that has been almost the exclusive domain of men.” No doubt!!!
Jolie would play the title character, a CIA officer who’s accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy and must elude capture long enough to establish her innocence. Edwin A. Salt will be rewritten by the movie studios and will undergo a title change, obviously.
Tom had long been rumored to take the project but eventually bowed out because (reportedly) a $20 million salary wasn’t possible. The film will reunite Angie will her Bone Collector director, Philip Noyce.
Wow, who saw this one coming!? More spy chick Angie! Woo!!!!!

Hello to all fans!!
OMG If this is really true, than I must say this is just AMAZING!! Angelina is really THE BEST!! She is amazing mother, wife, she works for UN and she is such a great actress and probably the only actress that can replace a man in a movie!!!! AMAZING!! She is such a great role model for every woman, no wonder that there are people who are so jealous!! Unfortunately, even today there are still people who can not stand successful woman, and that is way haters behave like those here on every Angelina thread!! They only know how to write evil comments while sitting at home and doing nothing!! Angelina is just amazing, I really like her!!
I have always been Angelina fan, I never really noticed Brad Pitt before Angelina, but now I think that he is also a great person, actor and humanitarian! I am sure that he is so happy now because he has such a great life and beautiful kids and of course Angelina!
Greetings to all J-P fans from Europe!

I love the way Angelina can pull these roles off and make them as believable as she does intense dramas.
Can’t wait to see this, and the Changling!
go Angie and brad you both deserve the best because you are the best and you are so giving with big hearts, it will come back to you, i am glad to see Angie and brad back at work, we miss them.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Poor Tommy-boy got his ass kicked out by a GIRLLLLLLLL….. how is he ever going to live this one down?
Does he really expect to pull $20 mil a movie any more? The way his movies are bombing all over the place, he should be paying the studios just to let him act.
i think this is what geyer was saying in that variety (?) article - that companies are making/altering scripts to get angie’s services. way to go, angie!
and thanks, jared.
I can’t wait to see Angie in that role.

oops!!! sorry, where are my manners? thanks jared for the new thread, hello again j/p fans, our girl is on a role, yay Angie. BBL gotta lot to catch up on, (reading post)
Infamous,
Jealous much?
You might want to advise Tom Cruise to get in touch with reality he is not in any place to ask 20,000,000 dollar pay day right now.
sounds like a great role for angelina.
hello jolie pitt fans.
This truly is exciting in terms of a Hollywood studio replacing a male “star” with a female star. Wow. Angie is probably the most A list actress around right now–power, charisma, marketability etc. Actually I was reading somewhere that she and Brad are untouchable as an A list couple–no one else comes near:). Go Jolie Pitts.
Great news. This could be a franchise for Angie like MattD has with the Bourne films.
Nicole Kidman is already back at work, ONE MONTH AFTER THE BIRTH OF HER BABY in AUS doing reshoots on her film that will be released in a couple of months. Then Nicole will start filming Nine next month, TWO MONTHS AFTER THE BIRTH OF HER BABY. So anyone who complains needs to back off. Knox and Viv will be one month old tomorrow and Angelina is not going back to work for months.
Tom has to be unhappy as to this as his name has been attached to this film for a year. Supposely he is going to star in a comedy as a cook. One would think with all the money Tom has he could finance a film or take a lower salary. The days of Tom getting the huge money to star are over.
I am wondering if MattD will be back in The Fighter as he was originally supposed to be in it and Brad came in when Matt’s schedule was full. But the film Matt was to do with Eastwood and Morgan Freeman about Nelson Mandela was to film in Jan and Morgan won’t be well by then according to the news released about his condition. Since Brad is now in IB he may switch with Matt again.
oi! attaching anjies name again!next thread must be,the management and his not just into you lead star angelina jolie………got an oscar buzz!
YEEEYYY MORE ANGIE MOVIES!
CANT W8! WOOHHOOO!
WOW. They’re rewriting a male lead role into a female character.
