Hollywood Corner: Angelina Jolie replaces Tom Cruise!
August 12, 2008
Of all the many startling things that can take place in Hollywood, this is one of them: Tom Cruise being replaced by Angelina Jolie as the star of a thriller! Just imagine something like that happening in Bollywood or Kollywood – a star hero being replaced by a star heroine – and in a thriller, that too. Edwin A. Salt has been an espionage thriller in

development for quite some time now. It tells the story of a CIA officer who is accused of being a sleeper spy (someone planted in the Washington office) for Russia. Cruise had shown a great deal of interest in the project, but has now bowed out. Angelina Jolie will now play the lead. She liked the script and asked the studio to rewrite the part for her.

Jolie has been proving a bankable action star, especially after the recent success of the very stylish and explosive thriller, Wanted, which grossed $132 million in the U.S. She was able to pull off being an action heroine in Laura Croft and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Salt will be directed by Philip Noyce who makes a comeback to the espionage thriller after the Tom Clancy -Jack Ryan series. Interestingly, it will be co-produced by an Indian American, Sunil Perkash., whose credits also include the movie, Enchanted.
