'Salt 2' Begins To Be Thought Out

Jolie In Salt

After the success of the 2010 film Salt ($300m worldwide), with Angelina Jolie, it was always likely that a sequel would be on the cards. However, the news that a sequel is already being worked on may come as a surprise. Sony has begun work on the sequel, instructing Salt's writer Kurt Wimmer to pen a script for the sequel.

Deadline has revealed the news that Angelina Jolie is keen to return for a possible sequel. However Salt 2 will not have original director Phillip Noyce at its helm and so it will be interesting to see if a new direction is taken. With Wimmer on board again it should bear similarities however and the huge action scenes are sure to reappear. The makers will surely be hoping for better reviews this time round though.

Angelina Jolie is said to be reprising her role as CIA agent Evelyn Salt. The reason a Wanted sequel looks unlikely was due to Jolie not being interested but she certainly seems determined for Salt 2 to happen. I

'Wanted 2' Could Still Go Ahead Without Jolie

Wanted

Despite the fact that Angelina Jolie has already stated that she is unwilling to star in a sequel to the 2008 thriller Wanted, the films producers have revealed that a sequel which will retain James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman could still be viable.

Jim Lemley, one of the films producers, revealed the plans to make a sequel with original director Timur Bekmambetov. He revealed to MTV News that "We still talk sometimes about Wanted 2 - we want to try and continue that story because it's a very interesting one for us,". He added "The reality is we'd love to do it with her, but also that story has such a big idea behind it that it can also go on without her,".

Angelina Jolie expressed how her character should not be returning for a sequel: "In the original, she doesn't kill herself. I actually changed the ending. I said, 'If she was to find out she had killed people unjustly

Beowulf (2007)

Best action animation ever - 5/5

So I saw this film a while back called 'Beowulf'. I had previously read the description and was like, yeah this sounds pretty sweet. The DVD cover also drew me in, and did not in any way lead me to believe it was an animation. So, after about five seconds into the film I was disappointed. I thought there was no way an animation could do justice to the age old epic poem that is 'Beowulf'. Boy I was wrong.
I have literally never seen an animation like it. It contained arguably more gore than your average horror! I suppose you can get away with more when animation is involved. However, the action still took my breath away. After the first scene of fighting between the fearsome Beowulf and his men and the genuinely gruesome monster Grendel I was gobsmacked. How could they create an animation like this? It was utterly fantastic. Add to all this an A-list cast including the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone and John Malkovich, whose role I actually didn't enjoy, and you can see why I found this flick so encapsulating.
The ending was possibly one of the greatest scenes I have ever laid my eyes on, and no, I'm not joking. Hugely cinematic scenes were created to great effect. If you haven't seen this film, just try to imagine a naked Beowulf leaping, sword outstretched, at a dragon, plunging the sword deep into the dragon's neck and sliding down the length of it and then half severing his own arm to enable him to pierce the heart of the dragon. Pretty cool right?
Now I'm not sure just how accurate to historical fact this film really is, but that is the beauty of the original poem. It was very much an embellishment of possible truths of the time. In my opinion the film captured this magic, the sort of magic that only comes from mis-truths and from overestimating the facts. The film certainly captured the excitment surrounding myths and legends of the time and it could not have been done better.
Would I recom..GO AND SEE IT!!!
