Angelina Jolie Replaces Tom Cruise
Nooo Angelina hasn’t replaced Tom as the top celeb Scientologist. She’s taking over a movie role that was originally meant for Tom. The spy thriller Edwin A. Salt is being rewritten to reflect the likely gender switch. The film is about a “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.”
Cruise was attached to the project for some time but recently decided to let it go for good. Perhaps the project is too Mision Impossible for him?
It makes sense for the studio to change he script just for Angie. She practically guarantees a movie’s success.
After Universal beefed up Jolie’s role in “Wanted” and then marketed the action film squarely on Jolie’s shoulders and watched it gross $132 million domestically, Jolie reestablished, in the wake of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” that she is the rare female who is viable in the action genre, which has been almost the exclusive domain of men.
If all goes plan the action thriller could serve as Angelina’s return film after her maternity leave. There are also noises that Atlas Shrugged could be in the works sooner rather than later. Rumors have long suggested that Angelina and Brad are both being courted to star in the film. I doubt very seriously that they both sign on for the production. They’ve got six kids now. They didn’t work at the same time before. They certainly won’t do it now.
