Strike Back below!
by: Mike Sampson Nov. 16, 2009

SALT was originally set up as a starring vehicle for Tom Cruise. But Cruise (being Cruise) eventually passed on the project and it's to Angelina Jolie's great credit that she was not only able to step in to star in the film, but become the main selling point. Sometimes we forget that despite Jolie's private life and seemingly being the luckiest woman in the world (or at least second luckiest), she's an Oscar-winning actress. She didn't just take over for Tom Cruise, she made this her film.

Today we've got an exclusive look at the teaser poster for SALT that bravely puts Jolie front and center with little explanation about the film itself. What it does though is tease you a little bit with this striking pose (as a teaser poster should do) and then direct you to WhoisSalt.com where people will no doubt be headed. It should be noted that while this version of the poster is static, there is another version you'll see in theater lobbies that will have Jolie in motion.

If you haven't yet, check out the SALT trailer here and then get a first look at the official SALT poster below!

Looks like it might be pretty cool. Sort of a reverse on the Borne thing, where instead of losing her memory, her brain's been planted with extra ones. Heh.

Haha
I'm thrilled for you, JoBlo.

As for the movie, it looks funny. I might see it. Hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised.

I'm just stoked that the studio decided to put our very own www.joblo.com on the poster as well!!!! ;)
PS: Kidding, of course.

Swish with warm to help your sore throat
I'm really not a fan of hers unless it's a serious role. Since I don't take women seriously as action stars this isn't.

I can see why Tom Cruise passed on this, it's somewhat similar to Minority Report.

looks like an average spy action thriller...I'll be skipping it

in accordance to the trailer...
Why doesn't she just get neuro-scanned like the Russian guy to prove her innocence? Why run? Glaring plot hole right off the bat.

Oh boy
Wow, another poster of a face. Good work, marketing. No, but the movie looks like it could be pretty decent. We'll see.
