Will Anna Chapman story help Angelina Jolie with ‘Salt’?

It’s not very long ago that Russian spies made the best Hollywood villain and often enough the real life incidents have helped the box office success of quite few films. The bad incidents resulted in good box office returns, be it 1979 film ‘The China Syndrome’ only 12 days after which the nuclear power plant was able to avoid disaster at Three Mile Island. In 1978 Black Monday helped Oliver Stone directed Michael Douglas starer ‘Wall Street’ to have a good box office collection.

Soon it will be Angelina Jolie’s turn, on July 23 her spy film ‘Salt’ is alls et to hit the big screen. She is accused of being a Russian spy, a story that now sounds too familiar post June 28 where 10 people were caught by FBI; those 10 were considered to be Russian sleeper agents.

One of them is drawing quite a comparison to Angie’s character of ‘Salt’, not only because of her role in real life but also because of her looks, it is Anna Chapman. Anna has the brain and well as the body and she knows how to use them both to her advantage, an IQ of 162 and a body of Victoria Secrets model.

So will Sony be making more money out of ‘Salt’ courtesy to the recent newspaper headlines about the suburban Russian spies or have the times changed when real life incidents didn’t effect the box-office collections of the films anymore? Only time can tell.
