Angelina Jolie Takes on the Guys in New Summer Action Movie Trailers
SALT
When an informant accuses Evelyn Salt of being a double-agent, she must go on the run and escape her compatriots to prove her innocence. That means dying her hair, jumping off bridges, crashing cars, and busting some heads. "Salt" reunites Jolie with her "The Bone Collector" director Phillip Noyce, and from the footage it looks like it could be the start of her own "Bourne Identity"-type series. "Salt" opens July 23.
THE A-TEAM
23 years after the TV show went off the air, "The A-Team" is back. The setting has been modernized -- the team served in the Middle East, not Viet Nam -- but the characters and their individual styles are mostly the same, right down to B.A. Baracus' Mohawk and custom van. The action in the trailer looks completely over the top, but it's all in keeping with the show's not-so-serious mood. "The A-Team" rolls into theaters on June 11.
KNIGHT AND DAY
Interestingly, Tom Cruise was going to play the lead in "Salt" before he left that serious spy thriller for this movie that balances action with a fair dose of humor. And it pairs him with another actress who has earned her action hero credentials: Cameron Diaz. The trailer shows Cruise injecting some of the loopiness that earned him great reviews in "Tropic Thunder," and Diaz gets be more than just the damsel in distress. "Knight and Day" will be released for the Fourth of July weekend.
