Angelina Jolie replaces Tom Cruise in spy movie
How’s that for cool?? A female star to replace an actor in an action movie!! You’ve definitely come a long way Angelina Jolie! According to reports, “Edwin A. Salt”, an espionage thriller once set to star Tom Cruise will now be redrafted by screenwriter Kurt Wimmer to suit Angie. The A-list actor 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 Angelina Jolie with her “Bone Collector” director, Philip Noyce.
The mother of 6 is set to 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. After Tom bowed out, several actors made a beeline for it, but it when Angelina Jolie took a liking to it, Columbia Pictures decided to rewrite the script for a female lead. Variety writes,
“she is the rare female who is viable in the action genre, which has been almost the exclusive domain of men.”
SO TRUE!! If you remember, Universal marketed “Wanted” mostly on Angie’s shoulders and watched it gross $132 million domestically. If she will really star in “Edwin A. Salt”, she’ll definitely be one of the toughest yet sexy hot mommas around! Go Angie! ^_^


I wonder what Brad Pitt has to say about that! Hehe! Reports are rife that the divorced couple, Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton are planning to reunite for a comedy movie together. The former couple are currently searching for a suitable script in which they will co-star. Angie and Billy Bob first met on the set of their 1999 movie ‘Pushing Tin’ and were married for three years before divorcing in 2003. The actor recently told Maxim magazine that both of them were keen to work together again as long as he and Angelina are not cast as husband and wife. Bully Bob Thornton shared,
Yesiree!! The first natural child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will soon be a movie star! According to reports, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt will make her big screen debut in her father’s new film. The blonde two-year-old will be seen with Brad in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. In the trailer of the movie, Angie’s hot hubby is seen cradling Shiloh as she watches a balloon float away. Cute! =) “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” tells the tale of a man who starts ageing backwards with bizarre consequences. It is scheduled for January 2009 release. Yikes, that one year from now! By then Shiloh will be about 3 years old >.<
