Salt is produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Sunil Perkash, whereas executive producers are Ric Kidney and Mark Vahradian.
Jolie stars as Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer who swore an oath to duty, honor, and country. When she is accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy, Salt goes on the run to clear her name and ultimately prove she is a patriot. Using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative, she must elude capture and protect her husband or the world’s most powerful forces will erase any trace of her existence.
Liev Schreiber stars as Winter, Salt’s boss and friend on the Russian desk at the CIA, and Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Peabody, a CIA counter-intelligence officer.
Di Bonaventura said, "It’s always a thrill to start production. It’s especially gratifying to work on redefining this genre with such a talented actress. Angelina is a rare combination of intelligence, emotional range, and physical ability."
Noyce added, "It’s great to be working with Angelina once again. She’s the only one who could bring this character to life. Salt will be tense and exciting, everything that thriller audiences expect, but also with a strong, multi-dimensional character at the center."
Robert Elswit is the director of photography, production designer is Scott Chambliss, John Gilroy is the editor whereas Sarah Edwards is the costume designer. Salt will film on location in Washington, DC, and New York.
