Sony Gets to Work on Salt Sequel

. . . oh SALT! I had to look this one up.

Salt is a 2010 American thriller film directed by Phillip Noyce, written by Kurt Wimmer and starring Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Daniel Olbrychski, August Diehl and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, who is accused of being a Russian sleeper agent, and goes on the run to try to clear her name.

Originally written with a male protagonist, the film had Tom Cruise initially secured for the lead, but the script was ultimately rewritten for Jolie. Filming took place on a location in Washington, D.C., the New York City area, and Albany, New York, between March and June 2009, with reshoots in January 2010. Action scenes were mostly done with practical stunts, with computer-generated imagery being used mostly for creating digital environments.

The film had a panel at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 22 and was released in North America on July 23, 2010 and August 18, 2010, in the United Kingdom. Salt grossed $295 million at the worldwide box office, and received mixed to positive reviews, praising the action scenes and Jolie's performance, but finding the plot predictable and implausible. The DVD and Blu-ray was released on December 21, 2010, and featured two alternate cuts which provide different endings for the movie.

No thanks, the first one is on Netlix's instant streaming, and you couldn't pay me to watch another 100 pound girl beating the crap out of grown men type of movie.

I disagee, and I think it's f-ckin' funnny how some people could accept bullsh-t characters becoming professional killers from such a young age like Kick-Ass than accepting an actual adult woman doing the same! I'm going to assume that you're obviosly not around long enough to see or heard of these other films "La Femme Nikita", "Police Story III: SuperCop", "Yes Madam", "Rightings Wrong" and "Project S" which contain 100 pound females kicking some serious ass out of men who're bigger and stronger than them! Cynthia Rothrock and Karen Shepard (professional 100 pound kickboxers), and don't forget 100 pound guys like Sean "Sugarfoot" Cunningham (100 pound professional kickboxer) and to every f-ckin' light weight UFC fighter!
