PictureLux on the red carpet report: 'Salt' premiere

The Spotlight was on a beardless Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who took center stage at the Los Angeles premiere of Jolie’s newest film, "Salt" Monday July 19,2010. Angelina greeted the fans that lined Hollywood Boulevard in an Emporio Armani dress with Ferragamo shoes before heading into the movie screening with Brad and Jolie's once-estranged father Jon Voight.

Jolie’s co-star Liev Schreiber and his wife Naomi Watts were also at the star-studded event along with guests Amber Heard, Kristin Cavallari, Antonio Sabato Jr. Oscar Nunez, Charlotte Ross and Sharlto Copley among others.

Angelina shared some thoughts about the film with Reuters and E online regarding her action star status:

“It’s a little funny to me privately,”...“When I’m home with my kids and I just feel like somebody’s mom. It’s kind of funny.”

“I love it. I love to jump around and break things and so I think if the actor’s having a good time and the audience feels it, then you have a good time together, you know?

“It’s based in reality so there’s real depth; there real scenes with other actors; there’s good character study; there’s a good plot,” she added. “It’s not as far fetched as ‘Wanted’ where you can bend a bullet and say it worked because it’s wild. ‘Salt’ had to work because it could really work. So we had to really try to figure things out and adjust all the stunts accordingly.”

'Salt' centers around a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Angelina), who is suspected of being a Russian spy. Is she or isn't she? Salt opens in theaters everywhere July 23. 2010 (photo © 2010 Joe Martinez/PictureLux)
