So I guess it's time to forget about all those rumors from a while back, saying Angelina Jolie was dropping out of Edwin A. Salt because of her newborn twins and the other gaggle of kids she has hanging around. Moviehole.net is reporting that Jolie is confirmed to star in the movie, which has also been renamed simply Salt to accommodate the star's gender (the role was originally set to be played by Tom Cruise).
It beats me why anyone ever thought Edwin A. Salt was a good title to begin with, not to mention who wanted to see Cruise play the role. It was frustrating when Jolie was rumored to be dropping out, and the studio appeared to be looking for another man to play the role. It's not every day you get a movie that's entirely about a female spy, and not about her relationship with another spy or Bond, James Bond. Jolie is the woman to play the role, and we're lucky she won't be abandoning it after all.
