Angelina Jolie has vampire eyes in new ‘Salt’ poster

saltposterjolie

Here is the just-released poster for Salt, the film starring Angelina Jolie (that could have been starring Tom Cruise). I’m kind of “meh” on the poster. They made Angelina’s eyes look so weird – her natural eye color is blue-green. On the poster they look like Robert Pattinson’s vampire contacts, all topaz-ish and dilated. Actually, I’m getting a real vampire feel from the whole image – they made her look like she just stepped out the shadows, and she’s about to bite the hell out of us. As for her hair – well, as I’ve mentioned before, of all of the crappy wigs Angelina seemed to wear for this film, I like the black banged one the best. At least they didn’t stick her on the poster in that horrible blonde one.

Beyond the image of Angelina’s big head, there’s not much else. Just “salt” written in English, and what I’m assuming is Cyrillic (the Russian alphabet). You know, because her character might be a Russian spy or something like that. It involves Vladamir Putin, a double-crossing spy, and vampires. Whoops, spoiler!

The “Who Is Salt?” website that the poster is advertising is just Sony’s official movie website. They have some additional information about the film, but not much. It doesn’t come out until next July! They should release it earlier, for goodness sake. They obviously are deep into post-production – the film could easily be completed by March or April.

Here’s the Salt trailer, once again costarring Live Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor and an ugly blonde wig:

In one more piece of Brangelina news, Fox News put this story up about Brad and Angelina’s private, romantic, food-filled hotel stay after their date night at the Museum of Contemporary Art… all of it without the kids:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie unleashed their artsy side with a private tour of the MOCA in Downtown Los Angeles on Saturday evening, but peaced out before the gala reception had really even got underway. And it seems Hollywood’s hottest couple let the real fun begin inside their room at The Standard Downtown a few hours later.

We’re told Brangelina didn’t put any diva like displays as they drove themselves to the hotel (no security) and entered through the loading dock to avoid any possible craziness before hibernating in their room.

“They just kept ordering room service,” dished our insider. “Everyone was shocked, they ordered so much food and just kept calling up and ordering more and more.”

And no, they weren’t feeding their ever-flourishing family of six children. It was apparently just the two of them and they were having quite the party.

“Brad seemed like he’d had a few too many,” added our source. “He seemed very buzzed bouncing around while Angelina remained pretty quiet.”

And despite rumors of a rocky romance, we’re told the couple seemed very relaxed in their time together with no signs of any tension.

[From Fox News]

Do you believe it? I believe that Brad got drunk in a hotel. I believe that they ordered some food. I’ll even buy that they ordered an in-house pr0n movie. But this report has too much detail, and it seems weird. Did Fox News talk to the guy delivering the food? Doesn’t the hotel guarantee privacy? Weird.

    It looks more like Megan Fox then Angelina Jolie in this poster.

    Is that the look they were going for?

  2. Firestarter says:

    @YeaRight- Ohhhh, you have gone and done it now!

  3. viper says:

    I prefer Jokie over MEGAn Farse and Jolie came first so no , this isnt fox this is ANGELINA JOLIE!

    besides Fox is no where NEAR looking like this famme fatale, no waaaaaaay.

  4. Beth says:

    That’s the thing I hate about media coverage of Brad and Angelina, making a huge deal out of nothing. So many had this as a headline. Movie posters barely get covered with the exception of event movies like Twilight. But for some reason it’s worldwide news for Brad and Angelina. Does anybody care they ordered room service? Why is it such hot gossip that they ordered a lot of food?

  5. Jillian says:

    I like the picture.

  6. Charity is Chic says:

    Since Megan is so much younger I doubt she would have required all of this photo shop.

    Btw, do you think Angie has her lips insured? Every movie poster she’s ever appeared in seem to focus on them beyond what is normal. The Changeling poster was the most ridiculous one so far.

  7. Ana says:

    I like the poster…but I agree with MK at Dlisted that they should have moved her face over to the right. It’s off center and bugging me!

  8. guida says:

    Megan Fox????????? How dare you….
    THOSE LIPS ARE “UNIQUE” and Angie is Angie, i don’t care if she’s too thin or blablabla…. i love her

  9. DD says:

    It doesn’t look like her, she’s only recognizable by the over bloated lips which is bordering lisa rinna territory in some of those pics.
    Hmm they kept ordering food service, what like one order at a time? I don’t believe it, if it’s true they’re either jerks or they wanted the attention to make news.

  10. Toe says:

    She looks good with the thick eyeliner. Nice makeup.

  11. TwinkleToes says:

    The bangs hide her huge head.

  12. Firestarter says:

    My question is…..Who is Pepper?

  13. fizXgirl314 says:

    lol firestarter…

    gawd, does this woman have ANY pores… so jealous!!

  14. Rosalee says:

    @Firestarter – Angie Dickinson..HA!

  15. viper says:

    MEgan Fox is a thoudand times more photoshopped in her studio shoots than jolie is now. Back when jolie was megans age THERE WAS NO PHOTOSHOP all those teen shots of jolie are what she really IS. Unlike Megan Fox who is a bootlegged beuty and made to lOOK like she looks like that when in reality shes an orange toe thumbed tiny copper haired person ( yeah shes not a natural brunmette either ) and had to get a plastic face to look liek what she thinks is appealing.

    Jolie is 5’8 while Fox is only 5’3 and has to wear monsterous abominations for heels to look the way she does. While the height isnt an issue I resent it when she tries to fool people into thinking shes tall. There is nothign wrong with being average.

  16. Firestarter says:

    @Rosalee- Haha! When I was a little thing, my granny and I watched Police Woman together.

  17. Belle Bella says:

    Angelina is a bad ass. That’s all there is too it. I believe her as a spy or an assassin or whatever. I feel like if you were sitting down at lunch with her at any moment she may reach over and strangle you just for the fun of it. She has that kind of vibe to her. Thank goodness that this wasn’t a Tom Cruise movie. I can just imagine him wearing those elevator platform shoes and doing that snarky laugh all the way through it. Anyone else ever notice that Tom Cruise runs it looks like he hates the ground?

  18. Tess says:

    Salt…Pepper!!!! LOL.

    But speaking of food, that whole room service thing sounds like Brangelina’s mainly hungry for publicity.

    No way they didn’t know that little episode would be leaked to the press.

  19. stacy says:

    oh please, they kept ordering food!! HELLO, MUNCHIES!!!! I bet 20 bucks they were stoned!!! Boring poster. *getting suited up for the backlash*

  20. Charity is Chic says:

    Does anyone else think Viper should see a shrink?

  21. birdie says:

    I actually like Angelina as a blonde, I think it softens her looks in a very feminine way. She looks less badass though.

  22. wow says:

    This is a great poster of her. She photographs so well.

    As for the rest, I’ve never brought into their “we’re so happy in love – soul mates” hype, so nah… I’m more apt to believe what their kids will write in their tell all books years from now. You know it’s coming, folks. 😉

  23. birdie says:

    @ Charity… It’s pretty ridiculous you don’t expect Angelina’s lips to be on the poster for the movie she’s starring in… Considering her lips are on her face, and her face is what sells the movies. People will see Salt because they want to see Angelina, lips and all.

  24. TwinkleToes says:

    Viper, there’s no way to photoshop old photos, right, genius?

  25. Fire says:

    OFF CENTER – my head hurts! :op

  26. Fire says:

    Sorry to tell you viper, photoshop has been around for almost 20 years. Jolie is only 34. Not sure why you are comparing teen shots of her with adult shots of Megan.

    And a lot of women wear shoes with heels. We’re all trying to fool everyone, huh?

    And do you realize that when you spell something wrong there is a little red line under the word? Check it out next time before you hit “submit comment.”

  27. TwinkleToes says:

    VIPER, ever heard of airbrushing? Huh, Einstein?

  28. Meimei says:

    Nah, this is Cyrillic “salt”: соль. I’m sure the text in the poster is supposed to give that certain Russian-ish (how’s that for a word?) feel, though.

    Stacy: Hey, mommy and daddy need a little time for themselves every now and them. 🙂

  29. fizXgirl314 says:

    lol, why is everyone defending megan fox all of a sudden?

    I have to admit, this poster is nothing special… it’s very basic, digital imagery 101… Like something you’d do on the first day of class to cover the basics… dark background, strikingly enhanced eye color… sexy, vampish demeanor… straight on face shot… not that her face doesn’t photograph well… but, somebody clearly wasn’t trying very hard… :/

    I also find it hard to believe jolie was eating AT ALL, much less ordering tons of room service…

    Fire, not everyone gets the spell check… I think it is browser dependent… I don’t have it for instance…

  30. crash2GO2 says:

    My goodness viper, calm thy self.

    Jolie’s face off center works for me, I’m not sure why. This might be a fun movie to see. Then again, maybe not…

  31. princess pea says:

    Ah yes, the Bourne Identity… now with WIGS!

    I just can’t seem to muster up the enthusiasm for this one. I think the movie was overexposed before they even finished shooting, and there’s still going to be 7 months of publicity to go… oy.

  32. Cheyenne says:

    Aniston fans, rejoice!
    Your long wait is over!
    He’s going back to Jennifer!
    No kidding!
    They’re texting like mad!
    Secret meetings being arranged!
    Read all about it in this week’s IT!
    Remember — you read it there first!

  33. Michelle says:

    She looks… dark, brooding, and lovely. As always, I guess.

    But seriously, another boring action movie with Angie as the femme fatale assassin? Yawn. She’s become her own cliche at this point.

  34. Firestarter says:

    Wow it took Cheyenne a whole 32 comments before she brought up Aniston.

    And she has what to do with this poster or Jolie exactly?

  35. Cheyenne says:

    Meh… it’s a summer movie. Lots of action. Probably like “Wanted”, silly but fun.

  36. ligeia says:

    i see no Cyrillic letters in the above poster, just stylized english.

  37. ligeia says:

    as far as face off center goes, it’s generally considered bad design to have something set in dead center of a poster or flier. slightly off center is how most pieces are done.

  38. Cheyenne says:

    Firestarter, keep your hair on, willya? Just having some fun this morning. The tabs never let up.

  39. lucy2 says:

    Definitely photoshopped, but ALL movie posters are. The eyes are a bit strange though. She does have pretty eyes- why would they change them?
    The off center thing is a little odd too. It’s just enough off to make it look like a mistake, not enough to make it look intentional.

    I don’t know about opening this film in July. There’s always a lot of action movie competition that time of year, and according to a list I found, there are a ton of big movies scheduled for about that time. Without a game/comic book behind the story, and no other big names, I don’t know how well it will do.

  40. Firestarter says:

    OMG! I heard Brad and Gwen were secretly meeting discussing their past, then he had dinner with Juliette Lewis and then played Boggle with Robin Givens,all the while Jolie and Billy Bob were spotted having Mani-Pedis with Johnny Lee Miller in Malibu.

  41. SageAdvice says:

    There is slightly off center and then there is left of center. She is hovering in between and it’s bothering my brain. Please shoot the designer of that poster.

    Anywhoodles, I think at this point Chey Chey brings up Aniston just to t**ll.

    Oh, and I think this movie will bomb. It’s just a Bourne movie with a woman. The reason why the Bourne movies worked was because Matt Damon is cute but very much the everyman. It had dudes thinking, man, I could wake up one day and be an international spy.

    Angelina, on the other hand, is rather inaccessible, which works in he favor for “badass” parts because she isn’t supposed to be accessible. But now she’s got to appear to be someone caught in a trap which, to be honest, seems like she can’t pull off.

  42. stacy says:

    @ mei mei- lol! if only MOST parents felt that way!

  43. Fire says:

    Not true, ligeia. I’ve been a designer for over 15 years and that’s not “how most pieces are done.” It’s up to individual taste and this individual doesn’t like it and it sounds like I’m not the only one. And if your logic held true, why is everything else centered on the poster?

  44. Fire says:

    @fizXgirl314 – sorry, I thought everybody had the spell check. For me, it’s just hard to read with so many spelling errors that I usually end up just giving up…

  45. Fire says:

    hilarious firestarter :o)

  46. Cheyenne says:

    It might do okay. It’s an action movie and they usually do well in the summer. I thought Wanted was ridiculous (bullets shooting around in circles) but it made $340 million.

  47. hatsumomo says:

    I think this movie will do ok. OK as in, it will recoup its production costs. but you know what movie is coming out I think is really dumb looking? Avatar by James Cameron. Me and my man argued about it (over a movie that hasn’t come out no less) and he is super excited by it. He loves EVERYTHING by JC and its his first movie in a decade. I just think it looks incredibly stupid.

  48. Mairead says:

    Oh come ON lads – she looks like a goddam Bratz doll!!!
    The hotel story sounds like tripe.
    And the other poster is right, they didn’t use the letters from the Cyrillic alphabet to spell “Salt’, it’s just the typeface used. Although I do think it’s quite a striking one.

    I’m around the same age as Angie and I’m pretty sure there were photo-imaging tools available when AJ was 23,( even if it wasn’t exactly Adobe Photoshop) for photographs and films.

    Or “magic lantern shows” as we used to call them in the olden days.

  49. Jimmy says:

    At first glance I thought it was Megan Fox. Then saw the gigantic lips. At least we don’t see her huge jaw. She’s def copping Megan’s look here. Salt sounds like a yawn. Just as well she does action films cos her other ones bomb.

  50. WTF?!? says:

    Not so much, ligeia. Symmetry, or at least balance, is most appealing to the eye, thus the preferred layout for design. And since they centered the text and took such pains to make her face absolutely symmetrical, it just looks like poor placement, not cutting edge advertising.

    This looks pretty much like every other highly-photoshopped pic of Jolie, except that she really does look a lot like Megan Fox here.

  51. Blanca says:

    ”her other ones bomb” Her other movies are dramas.do you expect them to be blockbusters?.a least she gets nominated for them.

  52. katyusha says:

    @ Meimei
    Actually, it’s “солt”. There is no “ь” in this word, since the “ь” sound is not present.

    @ ligeia

    There is indeed, cyrillic in the poster. It’s the second letter, “Д” which has a “d” sound in russian, but they are trying to pass it off as an “A”.

  53. For Sooth? says:

    I like the poster. She is a gorgeous woman, I give her that.

    ANOTHER action movie. Meh. She needs to find a nice nuanced movie and play the every woman, but a multi- faceted one like Meryl Streep does so well. After all, I’m sure the tay tays have started to go south so she better start showing different sides of her acting chops, if she has them still. Or play someone disabled or mentally challenged like a My Left Foot or Rosie doing the sister movie on, dare I say it, the short bus.

    She just needs to scrub down, pare down and pull it out from inside, but subtly, very subtly. When she does that I’ll be back on board. Until then, see yah.

  54. dovesgate says:

    I disagree with the vampire eyes – they added a gold ring but I think thats more to suggest being a chameleon of a spy. *shrug*

    @Jimmy – She’s copying Megan Fox? Megan Fox has black hair with blunt bangs and started acting ages before Angelina? When Angelina came on the Hollywood scene it was “oh look, another Megan Fox”?

  55. jbird says:

    That is angelina????? How long did it take the poor photo shop crew??? Hope they got a vacation after that.
    I don’t really care who salt is but I want to know where pepper is.
    PS this movie looks very lame.

  56. jbird says:

    Doesn’t sound very romatic to go to a hotel alone and just eat tons of food, who wants some lovin when they are stuffed??? Of course by the way they acted at the moca art show they don’t seem like they want to touch each other. I think it is a big ploy to make people think they wanted alone time to make it appear they are in love, if they were they would have been touching at the show and ravaged each other at the hotel not food. I mean come on people use your brains.

  57. jbird says:

    so it is a secret????????
    maja eyeroll.

  58. jbird says:

    I Know the post was not racist, bigoted, under a multiple name or a death wish, I feel very discriminated against!

  59. jbird says:

    pst don’t tell anyont the pic is photoshopped it is a SECRET.

  60. jbird says:

    yet you let me post about the hotel joke of a media ploy. you guys are so on it here. bigger eyeroll

  61. viper says:

    I love messing with peoples heads. I and my classmates usually play around on message boards but I prefer gossip- less harmful in my opinion. It’s our way of having fun since it’s this or medical journals. So if people really take what I say seriously all the time, Im telling you right now- dont. Im just being as obnoxious as I can be! Just roll with it!

  62. Fat Elvis says:

    viper: Just stop with the “medical student” nonsense, please. You don’t even grasp basic grammar/punctuation/spelling, so the mere suggestion that you’d be qualified to study medicine is laughable. Not to mention an insult to ACTUAL medical students and current medical professionals.

  63. jbird says:

    Kaiser and angie sitting in a tree K I S S I N G you just keep trying to pretend she is a saint, but really most people know the truth about her. But keep trying to convince people she is beautiful and kind and in love with her kids and brad. Most people KNOW they have been over for a long time now. Good luck getting you tongue out of her ass.

  64. jbird says:

    and that one didn’t need moderating? you guys must be on the same drugs angie is on

  65. beachbum says:

    It PR time because the books are coming out.

  66. Praise St. Angie! says:

    you “love” messing with people’s heads?

    ever read the hippocratic oath?

    and to echo Fat Elvis, I seriously doubt that you’re a med student. most med students I’ve met (and I meet a LOT of them because I work with a medical professional association) know basic grammar and have NO time to “mess with people’s heads” on gossip boards as they are too busy with class, studying, and clinical rounds.
