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!!!!!

I have no problem with Nicole working now. She is an actress and her career is to act, and she will be able to arrange her schedule to include lots of mommy time. RachelWeitz went back to work when her son was one month old. HeidiK was back at work in weeks. NaomiWatts was back working ina new movie in a few months after giving birth. JLo just had twins and is to begin a new movie. Marcia Cross had twins and was back at work in 5-6 weeks. I just used Nicole as an example. Many women in the US are back at very stressful jobs with long hours weeks after giving birth as the US lacks a national uniform guaranteed maternity leave policy and they must put their babies in childcare. So top actors are in a very enviable position when they give birth.
I am just so tired of the idiots who will rush here to knock Angie for signing to do a film and who never criticize anyone else.
I want Jolie to start on Atlas Shrugged first. It’s an Oscar baity film with a female lead character role that most actresses would kill for.

Thank you for telling it like it is.

Why wasn’t Brad offered this role? He has made some good spy/adventure movies, and he is male i think. Just curious.

Just when NLAL and I were exchanging comments about stupid trolls, along comes you to validate exactly what we were talking about.
Brad is already contracted to start filming “Inglorious Bástards” in the fall.
Curiosity satisfied?

Tom Cruise failing to buy back his dignity - yet again

Shut up, little boy. You’re just pissing your pants because Tommy got his ass handed to him by a girl.

This won’t happen. AS has no workable script and no director plus it’s financing is now in peril.

It is so sad isn’t it? These trolls have no functioning brain activity whatever.

Do they even have a script? I’m curious as to how they are going to turn a 1200 page book into a 2 or 2.5 hour movie and keep the plot intact. And yes, I read the entire book.
I could see that book better as a mini-series, maybe six or seven hours long, but I don’t see any way they can turn it into a movie that stays faithful to the book.

Yeah, but in her Wanted interviews last month, Jolie said that the only film she is working on now is Atlas Shrugged. She said in various interviews and the only film she mentioned was Atlas Shrugged. It’s a project that she’s been working on developing for a long time now.
But what Angelina Jolie really should be doing is re-teaming with Daniel Craig in a James Bond movie.

Angelina’s last few movies have made more money than any other lead female (Wanted, Panda etc) and most male leads.
***
….`this’ll be the 1st & last time i time to you, newbie. jolie’s better looking, more marketable, and more talented than every other female lead her age and younger. now… w/ that typed… she didn’t even speak in ‘wanted’ or ‘kung fu panda’ (lol.. i know she spoke, but not much). blahhhhhhhh whatever! this movie’s a whole new ballgame, lets see. *evil laugh* - mwahaha~ *rubs hands*
Forgot to add: and if the movie doesn’t stay faithful to the book, I don’t want to see it, Angelina or no Angelina. I hate it when they tear a book apart to make a crappy movie.
jill, ia, it’s the same sh*t that keeps flinging back straight to their faces, they just love it. :lol:

In an interview this year, Vadim Perelman said he was working on the script. The producers of the film even confirmed in interviews that Angelina Jolie was confirmed for the role and that they planned on filming at the end of 2008.
Edward A. Salt is slated for 2010 so it will film sometime next year.

I think Jolie will start working on Atlas Shrugged first because in her Wanted Cannes interviews she said she will only do once in a lifetime films like ATLAS SHRUGGED.

Your post makes no sense. Are you like 12 or something? Food Fight sounds like No Reservations which didn’t do very good either. Tom no longer has the pull to pull off something like this.
Please, go back to school and learn the English language.

You have not kept up with this project. Perelman QUIT as director and writer months ago. He has not been replaced at this time. Angelina has said she is still very interested in AS, she has signed a letter of intent but not a contract, but the project appears stalled at this point. There will be no filming anytime soon.

I can’t believe they are going to start filming at the end of this year. That’s only 4 and a half months off. I don’t believe they have anything like a viable script at this point. Read the book, if you haven’t yet, and you’ll see what I mean.
I would love to see AJ with Daniel Craig again in anything but a Bond movie.
jill (my old stalker),
…`you just admitted to dcikriding & swagger-jacking my style.. thank you, shītstain.
Hi, Bampzskv fans! Already more exitement with these two!

But Angie in this will be fantastic. Much better than Tom could be! You rock Angie.

Wouldn’t it be cute if they pay Angelina 20 million to do it? She’s worth it! Sorry, Tom.
