Liev to get "Salty" with Angelina

Ok that is maybe the worst healdine ive ever written but it's late, so onwards. Variety reports that Liev Schrieber in negotiations to play opposite Angelina Jolie in the Colubmia Picutres action thriller 'Salt'.

Some may remember this was a Tom Cruise project for a while but he dipped out in favour of other options and the script was re-written to fit a woman, so that it could star the worlds most famous actress Angelina Jolie.

The story centers on Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer who is fingered as a Russian sleeper spy. She eludes capture by superiors who are convinced she is out to assassinate the president. While trying to reunite with her family, she struggles to prove someone else is the traitor.

Schreiber will play Salt's boss and friend on the Russian desk at the CIA.

I like Liev, I think he's a good actor and I'm glad to see him getting bigger roles, and Jolie can certainly carry off action like no other actress, so this "bourne with boobs" as some have dubbed it, or maybe I just did, should turn out to be fun, Phillip Noyce is at the helm and he's a solid director.

'Salt' is set to start shooting in New York next month
