Triumph -- Jolie -- Salt
The persona projects a take-no-prisoners ferocity along with unapologetic James Bond intelligence.
I’m talking about Angelina Jolie and her movie ‘Salt‘, a spy thriller where she plays Evelyn A. Salt, a rogue CIA agent who tries to clear her name after being accused of being a Russian sleeper spy. The movie released this past weekend to fairly positive reviews and attendance figures. Being a mom of six you’d think taking the kids to see Toy Story 3 would be the goal of the day vs. getting back to gunslinging and fistfighting while clinging to the side of a building, leaping from a balcony or racing a motorcycle. But actors need to earn a living too and this is a chance to show off the action-star talent again in what many see as another franchise – can you say ‘Salt 2’?
Scoring a major product placement opportunity in the film was motorcycle manufacture Triumph. Jolie was filmed in a motorcycle chase scene as the ‘Salt’ character rides a 2009 Triumph Street Triple R in the film.
