Angelina Jolie in Salt - See it or Skip it?

PopSugarUK — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:21:27 -0800

Exciting - we saw Angelina Jolie filming it, but now the first trailer for Salt has been released! She plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer who is accused by a defector of being a Russian spy, and has to go on the run and try to clear her name. The film's not out until summer 2010, but I'd love to know if you think you'll see it, or skip it!

Angelina Jolie to Replace Tom Cruise in Edwin A. Salt

BuzzSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:31:33 -0700

So, perhaps the name will just be Edwina Salt?
In a curious gender switch and swapping of big Hollywood names, the espionage thriller Edwin A. Salt will now feature Angelina Jolie in the starring role, as a replacement for Tom Cruise. Apparently, Jolie "took a liking" to the script.

Jolie: The extremely profitable action star.
Variety has more details on this change of events:

After Universal beefed up Jolie's role in Wanted and then marketed the action film squarely on Jolie's shoulders and watched it gross $132 million domestically, Jolie reestablished, in the wake of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, that she is the rare female who is viable in the action genre, which has been almost the exclusive domain of men.

Probably a smart move.
While I know not everyone loves Jolie, she didn't get quite as many comments as Tom Cruise did from people saying they would boycott any movie she's in. As for Cruise himself, he's rumored to be possibly starring in a comedy titled Food Fight, in which Cruise would play "a snooty New York chef who is forced to cook meals at a school cafeteria."

Do Movies Affect You Differently Now That You're a Mom?

LilSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 13:00:00 -0800

Hoping to catch a few more Oscar nominated flicks, I watched Changeling over the weekend. In the intense film, Angelina Jolie plays Christine Collins, a woman whose son goes missing and her subsequent struggle with the police department who replaces him with another boy. As a mom, the movie hit incredibly close to home. Though it was an incredibly moving story, I found myself closing my eyes and covering my ears during certain graphic scenes. Do you find some things harder to digest since having children?

First Glance: Changeling - See It or Skip It?

PopSugarUK — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 07:30:00 -0700

In Clint Eastwood's Changeling, Angelina Jolie plays Christine Collins, a mother who has lost her son.

Corrupt police officers consider the case closed when a boy shows up claiming to be her son, but isn't, and Christine must then fight them in her search for answers. It looks like a pretty heavy movie, but this trailer has certainly interested me in it.

Changeling screened at Cannes this year, and the movie will be out on 28 November in the UK.

Take a look at this trailer and let me know, will you see it or skip it?

Jolie + Depp = Hottest On-Screen Couple Ever?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:30:00 -0800

In what can only be described as a match made in Hollywood heaven, Johnny Depp may be Angelina Jolie's next leading man. The actor is in talks to star opposite Jolie in The Tourist, a film that Jolie snatched up when Charlize Theron left it behind. Depp would play the American tourist, a role that Sam Worthington was originally slated for.

The film's had a lot of big names attached to it already (including Tom Cruise, in addition to Theron and Worthington), so I'm trying not to get my hopes too high for this one. But Jolie and Depp together on the big screen could be legendary, and not just because they're both smokin' hot. While I think they'd have some seriously good chemistry, I'd also love to see the talented actors go head to head on the big screen.

Of course, if Depp signs on, it could be a nail in the coffin for Pirates of the Caribbean 4, but how do you feel about this news?

Movie Preview: Angelina Jolie in Salt

BuzzSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:30:05 -0800

I've been eagerly awaiting the trailer for the Angelina Jolie thriller Salt ever since the gender-bending news was announced that the actress would be replacing Tom Cruise in the title role. Though we already knew it was spy thriller, the trailer reveals new plot details, which reveal the necessity of all those wig changes.

The tense clip with Jolie as Evelyn Salt on the run already looks more compelling than her last action flick, Wanted, and I think the addition of supporting cast like Liev Schreiber could make this a hit. To watch the trailer, just read more.

Angelina Jolie Is Going Gucci

BuzzSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 06:30:00 -0700

Despite what she may have said in the past, Angelina Jolie's career isn't slowing down anytime soon. Last week we learned that she'll be taking Charlize Theron's place in The Tourist and she may be adding another femme fatale role to her resume. Jolie is in talks to take the lead in Ridley Scott's Gucci.

Jolie would play Patrizia Reggiano, who spent 29 years in prison for plotting the murder of her ex husband, Maurizio Gucci. The script is still being reworked and Ridley's search for his Maurizio continues - apparently Leonardo DiCaprio has been approached but has yet to sign on.

I could absolutely see Jolie in this role, and in general I like when she can show more of her acting chops and less of her kung fu skills. Bonus: Angelina and Leo would make for one hot big screen couple.
