Angelina Jolie 'to take on Cruise action role'

Angelina Jolie 'to take on Cruise action role':

"Angelina Jolie is reported to be set to take on an action role originally thought to be going to Tom Cruise.

Several male actors were interested in the Edward A. Salt CIA drama but since Cruise dropped out it looks like the lead role will now go to a woman.

Hollywood paper Variety reports that the script will be redrafted to accommodate a female lead after Jolie expressed her interest.

Edward A. Salt will also now have to undergo a title change."
