Angelina Jolie may be ready to get back into butt-kicking mode again.
The
Mr. & Mrs. Smith star and mother of six is apparently close to signing on to play the title character in
Edward A. Salt, a thriller about a CIA operative accused of being a Russian spy, according to
Variety.
If you're wondering about the decidedly female Jolie playing "Edward"...
Tom Cruise was originally expected to star in the role. Several other male stars were also interested, according to
Variety.
The studio decided to rewrite the script after Jolie took a shine to it. Oh, and there
will be a title change. -
