Edwin A. Salt used to be a project about a male CIA officer who is accused of being a Russian spy and most prove his innocence. Not anymore. According to Variety, Salt is being reworked so that Angelina Jolie can play the title role instead of Tom Cruise. Said reworking is being done by writer/director Kurt Wimmer (Equilibrium). Jolie can be seen this fall in Clint Eastwood's The Changeling.
