What Angelina Jolie wants, she gets. The actress is nearing a deal to play the lead in a spy thriller originally intended for Tom Cruise, Variety reports. The well-regarded script, Edwin A. Salt, is the story of a CIA agent on the run from espionage charges. Should Jolie seal the deal, the character will get a sex change and the script will be edited to suit the new star’s demands.
