Angelina Jolie replaces Tom Cruise being a Russian spy in America on a mission to kill the President. Salt is a new upcoming film which is going to hit the cinemas in the year 2010. For this film first of all Tom Cruise was approached but some how the things didnt work and he no more existed in the film. If Tom Cruise would have been the major character of the film then his name would have been Edwin A, who is accused to be a Russian spy.
