More Salt for Angelina?



Salt is allegedly getting ready for a sequel.
The rumor is that Columbia is getting all geared up to get the sequel rolling and that Angelina has final say on whether or not the script is to her liking.
Well of course she does, without Angelina, there will be no Salt 2.
Just like without Angelina, there is no Wanted 2.
Which is kinda funny.
Salt raked in $295,713,467 gross (so far) while Wanted pulled in $341,433,252 gross.
Yet Salt is the sequel that Angelina is interested in.
Was Salt that much of a better story?

Rotten Tomatoes gave Salt a 62% and says...
" Angelina Jolie gives it her all in the title role, and her seasoned performance is almost enough to save Salt from its predictable and ludicrous plot."
Rotten Tomatoes gives Wanted a 72% and says...
"Wanted is a fast-paced, crackling thrill ride tailor-made for the Summer audience."

As far as the fans go, Angelina won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Action Star and Angelina and Wanted were nominated for the MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance, the MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss, the MTV Movie Award for Best WTF Moment, the National Movie Award for Best Performance – Female and the People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Movie Star
She and Salt in contrast only got nominated for the People's Choice Award for Favorite Action Star, the People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Movie Star and the Teen Choice Award for Choice Summer Movie Star – Female.

Does Angelina think that Salt is a better bet for a franchise?
Are we looking at Salt 2, 3, 4 etc?

Only time will tell, because we all know she could pull out of a Salt remake at the drop of the proverbial hat.

Twilight's Kristen Stewart to replace Angelina Jolie in Wanted 2?

Angelina Jolie - Wanted - angelina wantedI said that when Angelina Jolie pulled out of the Wanted sequel, that I thought that pretty much killed it.
But the producers may have figured out a way around Angelina's absence, by focusing on another up and coming star.
No, not Megan Fox.
It appears the producers are looking at Twilight's Kristen Stewart to fill the void left by Angelina.

Kristen Stewart - Twilight - Wanted Rumor has it that Kristen will play a young assassin and James McAvoy will be back as Wesley Gibson.
The original idea that I had heard was that Fox (Angelina's character) was put in the healing wax bath and that she would be good to go for the sequel.
But when Angie nixed that idea, all looked like it was lost.

If this works out and Kristen does do the Wanted sequel, that will put the legions of Twilight fans behind the new project.

Now, will Kristen be playing Fox or another character?

As you know, Fox took a bullet to the head in the original, so could even the waxy bath save her?
Does she have an ability that allows her to regenerate like Dr. Who?
Did she do some kinda psychic transfer just before she died?
Does Wesley do some secret Tibetan ritual that transfers Fox's essence from one body to another?
Does Kristen play an all new character?
I gotta go with the last one, because that would allow Wesley to become the mentor, let Fox rest in peace, and give Kristen a new character to fill out.

Angelina Jolie, the Forbes List and More Kids?

angelina jolie

Angelina Jolie knocked Oprah Winfrey out of the top spot on the Forbes Magazine’s Most Powerful Celebrities list.
The magazine cites Angie's busy year with “Kung Fu Panda,” “Wanted” and her new film “Salt,” earning her a cool $27 million dollars.
Also all the press (good and bad) about the birth of her twins (Vivienne and Knox) and with the constant media attention she gets from her relationship with Brad Pitt helped keep her in the limelight.
The annual Celebrity 100 list, ranks the rich and famous based on media exposure and career earnings over the past year.

And despite all the "break up" rumors we keep hearing, now there is a rumor that Brad and Angelina may finally be tying the knot.
And the big wedding may take place in the Caribbean.

And there is another rumor that seven maybe Brad and Angelina's lucky number.
Yes, by adoption or natural birth, the couple may be looking at adding another child to the clan.
Okay guys, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it" was written a long time ago.
You can stop now.

Angelina Jolie and the Deadly Set Light

angelina photos

While working on the set of her upcoming movie "Salt" Angelina Jolie was injured.
Sounds terrible huh?
She accidentally bumped into a set light.
Doesnt sound that bad huh?
Well she got cut and a slight concussion.
See?
She "bumped" into a light...and "bumped" it hard enough to get a concussion?
How hard did she hit that thing?
Well she came back to work, trooper that she is, and they used makeup to cover the injury.
It was evidently right between the eyes.

And in more Tomb Raider 3 news, it looks like producer Dan Lin is in favor of Megan Fox as the new Lara Croft.
Forget Jennifer Aniston, Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie is the feud I wanna see!

Angelina Jolie And James McAvoy were nominated for "Best Kiss"(for Wanted) at MTV's Movie Awards, but they lost to Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson for Twilight.
There is no justice.

Angelina Jolie in Salt

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

It seems Angelina Jolie really IS in the movie "Salt".
We know this because she was seen in Washington, D.C filming on the set.
And apparently she has dyed her hair blond again.
Angelina is also doing all her own stunts.
Of course Angelina is used to action movies and stunts.
Her action movies seem to do really well as in the Lara Croft:Tomb Raider films (2001 and 2003), Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) and Wanted (2008).

Angelina will be starring in Salt alongside Liev Schreiber (Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Chiwetel Ejiofor ( The upcoming 2012).
The film is being directed by Phillip Noyce (who worked with Angelina on The Bone Collector) and written by Kurt Wimmer (Equilibrium,Ultraviolet) and Brian Helgeland (The Bourne Supremacy, Man on Fire). So the writers and directors seem to know their action films.
Look for a 2010 release.
