Angelina Jolie as Evelyn A. Salt
Angelina Jolie is already hard at work on the set of Salt and courtesy of Sony Pictures here’s a quick peek at just two of the looks that Angie will have in the movie. In one shot she’s got dark brown hair somewhat similar to her own color, long and straight with bangs. In the other she’s sporting long blond hair.
USA Today has a nice article up about the movie. The general synopsis of the movie is that Angelina plays Evelyn A. Salt, a CIA spy who has been accused of working for the Russians. The film follows her efforts to clear her name.
Originally the movie was about a character named Edwin A. Salt and the role was meant for Tom Cruise. When Tom backed out for various reasons, they actually re-wrote the script to make it work for a female character instead so that they could hire Angelina instead.
I would probably be keen on seeing Salt even if it was Tom Cruise in the role because his action movies are always fun to watch. However, I think that the movie is going to be a huge hit because male spy movies are a dime a dozen; having a woman cast in the lead role as a spy makes the story that much more interesting. Also, while I love seeing Angelina in heavy, dramatic roles like A Mighty Heart or Changeling, I also really enjoy seeing her in action roles. Ever since I learned that she does as many of her own stunts as she possibly can, I find them even more exciting.
What do you think of her two looks? Naturally she looks amazing in the top photo because her hair isn’t much different from her usual look. I really like the blond hair too; not everyone can pull off going lighter but this is Angelina Jolie. They could put her in a curly pink wig and she’d still look amazing!
