Angelina Jolie Is Erika Salt

Angelina Jolie will once again star as butt-kicking vixen in Phillip Noyce's spy thriller “Salt.”


Originally titled as "Edwin A. Salt," the film produced by Columbia Pictures was supposedly to be played by Tom Cruise. The 46-year old actor who's already a veteran of many action films had long been expected to lead the film. We never knew what went wrong with the deal but when the role was finally handed to the sultry Angelina Jolie, the story was rewritten and the protagonist became Erika Salt.

While the espionage thriller to the film was redrafted, sources said that the project did not require much overhaul to suit the female lead.

As Erika Salt, Angelina Jolie plays a CIA officer accused of being a Russian sleeper spy. She eludes and gets captured by superiors who are convinced that she is out to assassinate the president. While trying to reunite with her family, she struggles to prove someone else is the traitor.


Here's the good news to aspiring young actors out there:

Expected to go into production in February 2009, the film Salt is currently casting for a child actor to portray the role of the young Erika Salt. Check the casting to view the detail. Who knows, you might become the next action goddess like Angelina Jolie!
