Salt In NYC

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Angelina Jolie and Liev Schreiber have come to New York City with the Salt crew in tow.

For those of you missing our previous Salt explination:

St. Angelina joined the project when it was originally titled Edwin A. Salt and featured Tom Cruise in the title role, but Cruise isn’t exactly the hottest property right now, so when he dropped out and Jolie wanted to step in, the gender roles were switched, the title abbreviated to “Salt” and principal photography commenced.

Jolie plays 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. I’m guessing Schreiber’s character “Winter” is the agent in charge of taking her down.

Also present in NYC is Chiwetel Ejiofor, who looks to be playing another government agent with Schreiber. Also present: a bloody knee for Angelina?
