Since ages, action films have been associated with males. This genre had performers as well as viewers both men. But Salt is an upcoming movie which will overrule this age-old concept to redefine action flicks. Salt is a contemporary action thriller, starring Angelina Jolie and happens to be one of the much awaited films of the year.
Earlier this film was planned to feature a male character in the leading role but finally Angelina was chosen. This could be an attempt to change gender inequality in movies. Success story of this film will open many doors of opportunities for future female action stars. Favourable result of this film will surely inspire other actresses to be in a leading role in action movies. This is the first time in the history of Hollywood that an actor is replaced by an actress. Salt producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura says, “It's definitely unusual that a female has become an action star," the producer says. "But it's a funny thing. She's not a female action star; she's an action star. She's really the first female to transcend gender. I don't think it's occurred before." Along with men, women too will love watching this action movie.
People in UAE can watch this movie in theatres 22nd July 2010 onwards. Along with Angelina Jolie, film stars Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Daniel Olbrychski, Ander Braugher, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian.
