Salt made a splash back in 2010 with Angelina Jolie kicking ass across the screen as a secret agent. Though there has been talk of a sequel since then, nothing has emerged. But now Sony is looking to go a different route, putting a TV remake of the film into development.
It's just the latest in an increasing list of movies getting the telly treatment, with the likes of The Exorcist and Training Day among the current crop trying to fight their way into a packed small screen market.
Quite what form the Salt show would take isn't known at this very early stage (beyond an obvious likely lack of Jolie, but Sony's Diego Suarez tells Screen International, "We want to bring it to Europe in a completely different way."
The original plot (spoiler alert in case you haven't seen a six-year-old film) found Jolie has a CIA spy released from a North Korean prison who is eventually revealed to be a Russian agent tasked with assassinating the US President. She ultimately turns against her sleeper agent masters and goes on the run. This new series is being touted at the European Film Market, and we'll have to wait to see if a broadcaster bites.
