I hope that the tabs won’t try to claim, once Salt has been shooting for awhile, that Liev and Angie are having an affair (I can just see them trying to claim that Angie is “trying to steal another woman’s man yet again!”).

It seems like they try to hook Angie and Brad up with their costars every time they are starring alongside someone of the opposite sex (most recently, they claimed that Brad was having an affair with Diane Krueger during the filming of Inglorious Bastards. Of course, they conviently left out the fact that Diane is married!)! I, for one, am sick of it!

A jolt of Jolie

D.C. goes A-list again next week, as the cast and crew of “Salt,” the upcoming spy thriller starring Angelina Jolie, arrives here to begin filming.

A casting call for background performers, obtained by Yeas & Nays, says filming will begin on March 3. Josh Friedman, a spokesman for D.C.’s Office of Motion Picture & Television Development, said, “We are expecting a large-scale production for several weeks, and again in summer.”

Jolie is expected to arrive early in the week, and a source tells us producers have been casting a teenage Jolie look-alike as well.
Jolie’s role was originally offered to Tom Cruise, but when his deal fell through because he demanded too much money, the script was rewritten for Jolie, with the title character’s name being changed from “Edwin Salt” to “Evelyn Salt.” Jolie plays a CIA agent accused of being a Russian spy.

The film also stars Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

A woman who answered the phone at the local production office said she couldn’t comment, as the film’s publicist hadn’t yet arrived in town.
