Joblo got their hands on the first poster for Salt which stars Angelina Jolie as a CIA officer who is accused of being a Russian spy. Liev Schreiber plays a character called Winter, Jolie’s ally and supervisor in the CIA’s Russian office. Chiwetel Ejiofor (2012) plays a counter-intelligence officer trying to take her down.

Now it all makes sense. Angelina Jolie is being set up by some Russian guy. I’m just glad she replaced Tom Cruise in the lead role as seeing him say “someone’s set me up” again would have been tedious, as he was already set up before in Mission Impossible and Minority Report.

The trailer is just like the Russian trailer we got yesterday…just not in Russian. Enjoy!

Russian trailer for Angelina Jolie’s Salt

I’m sure Columbia didn’t intend for anyone to see the first trailer for Angelina Jolie’s Salt in Russia (apart from the Russians obviously) but that’s what’s happened. From the trailer it looks like Jolie has returned to the same action form we saw from her in Tomb Raider and Wanted, although as it is in Russian we can’t really understand what’s going on.

Jolie is seen interrogating a man, who mentions the words ‘Salt’, which seems to cause Jolie to panic as she is then seen running out of the building after blowing out a few windows. Then we see her in a number of disguises as she jumps off bridges, crashes cars, and punches people in the face. I can’t wait for the English version so we can understand why she is acting this way. Allergic to salt maybe?

Well I guess we’ve learned some language skills from this trailer. The Russian word for ’salt’ is spelt a lot like the English word for ‘coat’. It may come in handy if you ever dine in Russia.

As well as Jolie the film stars Liev Schreiber who plays a character called Winter, Jolie’s ally and supervisor in the CIA’s Russian (how ironic) office. There’s also Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays a counterintelligence officer trying to take her down.

Update: Filmonic reader Austin used his Russian skills and picked this up:

someone is supposed to kill the president and she wants to know who it is and he tells her Salt and she tells him that she is Salt and so he tells her that she is a Russian spy. she denies this.
“who is Salt?”

Yesterday we got our first look at Angelina Jolie in Salt. We had the sultry brunette and a heavenly blonde. Now we have ‘Jolie in a hat with weird teeth’. I hope they don’t ruin all of these disguises before the movie comes out.

From ComingSoon.net:

Jolie stars as Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer who swore an oath to duty, honor, and country. When she is accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy, Salt goes on the run to clear her name and ultimately prove she is a patriot. Using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative, she must elude capture and protect her husband or the world’s most powerful forces will erase any trace of her existence.

First look at Angelina Jolie in Salt

USA Today got themselves our first look at Angelina Jolie in Salt. In the film Jolie plays a rogue CIA operative who tries to clear her name after she is accused of being a Russian sleeper agent. Below are two of her many disguises.

The film also stars Liev Schreiber as Winter, her ally and supervisor in the CIA’s Russia office, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Peabody, a counterintelligence officer who tries to take her down. Tom Cruise was originally set to play the lead. I can’t imagine what he’d look like in a blonde wig.

Liev Schreiber getting salty with Angelina Jolie

According to MovieHole Liev Schreiber (aka Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) is in talks to join Angelina Jolie in the action-thriller Salt.

The movie, which starts filming next month in New York City, sees Jolie play the title character, 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.
We’re told Schreiber is up for a “major role” in the picture.

Jolie recently said she was going to cut down her movie roles due to her ever growing brood of children, so for her to be interested in filming this means it must be special in some way.
