USA Today has a first look at Angelina Jolie in Salt, where she plays a spy suspected of being a double agent. You might remember the movie was previously intended to star Tom Cruise, who dropped off the project, when the role was changed to a female and Jolie stepped in. Or, you might not. There is more to the world than movies Tom Cruise drops out of.
The pictures show both a blonde and brunette version of Jolie in the title role, leading to the question: “Which one is the real Salt?” That’s a question that is apparently the core of the movie - is she an honest spy or a double agent? Is she blonde or brunette?
Seriously, I don’t see what all the fuss is about over two pictures with different color hair. Didn’t we see a spy do this already in J.J. Abrams Alias series? And there Sidney at least had the courtesy to go wild with pink hair, among other disguises. I like the idea that the audience may never know who the real character is, but it’s going to take more than hair color to make me interested.
Check out both pictures over at USA Today.
