Disproving reports that Wanted star Angelina Jolie is no longer attached, Moviehole carries confirmation that she has now officially signed on to Edwin A. Salt.
The film tells the fictional story of a CIA officer who is marked to be a Russian sleeper spy. She tries to elude capture from her superiors who are convinced that she is out to assassinate the president, while at the same time struggling to prove that someone else is the traitor.
Preproduction on the project has commenced; it is set to start shooting February 16, 2009.

Phillip Noyce might be the director for the Tom Cruise vehicle Edwin A. Salt.
Both Noyce and Cruise attentions have been focused on the Warner Bros. drama The 28th Amendment, but recently shifted to Salt. The drama casts Cruise as a CIA officer who’s accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy. He must elude capture long enough to clear his name. Sounds like a long chase.
Though he hasn’t placed it in cement, Cruise has stayed with Edwin A. Salt with different drafts for directors Terry George and then Peter Berg before each bowed out.
Salt marks a return to the espionage world and action for Noyce, who took on the subject in the Jack Ryan films Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. Noyce’s last feature was Catch a Fire.
