Angelina Jolie: ‘Salt’ has potential for franchise

Hollywood’s highest paid actress Angelina Jolie dropped by Korea for the first time to promote “Salt” on Wednesday -- her latest slam-bang espionage thriller that she said has the potential to become a franchise if the film scores big at the box office.

“We’re leaving it up to the fans,” Jolie said during a news conference in Seoul Wednesday as part of a promotional tour for the Phillip Noyce-directed film.

“If the people want another one, certainly we’ll give it to them.”

With an ending that leaves the story of a Russian double agent working for the CIAwide open, speculation about a sequel has been going around the rumor mill.
