New Pics of Angelina Jolie in "Salt"

March 4, 2009 by Jane Boursaw

How DOES Angelina Jolie do it all?! I know, probably lots of help and a big entourage to help take care of all those kids.

Jolie is starring in “Salt” as Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who (maybe) doubles as a Russian sleeper spy. Yes, I had to look up that term. According to Dictionary.com it’s “a spy or saboteur or terrorist planted in an enemy country who lives there as a law-abiding citizen until activated by a prearranged signal.”

But Evelyn’s got people after her who believe she’s out to assassinate the President.

Jolie took over the role from Tom Cruise, and I can’t think of anyone better suited to play this role than her. She’s cool, she does the spy thing well – as witnessed in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” – and she morphs easily into various looks. In “Salt,” she plays both a blonde and a brunette. Check out the pics after the jump!

The film also stars Liev Schreiber as Winter, Evelyn’s ally in the Russian office of the CIA, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Peabody, a counterintelligence agent who wants to bring her down.

Directed by Phillip Noyce – whose other spy/conspiracy/government movies include “Clear and Present Danger,” “The Saint,” and “Patriot Games.” “Salt” is scheduled for a 2010 release.
