The premiere of the new spy thriller Salt was held in Moscow on July 25. Hollywood star Angelina Jolie plays the main role in the movie.
The main event of this Sunday evening was not the movie itself, but Jolie. At the Karo Film Oktyabr cinema there were crowds of her fans.
The most fervent fans of the actress were patiently waiting for her in the 95 degree heat for several hours. Angelina appeared on the red carpet at the Karo Film Oktyabr cinema wearing a stunning red Atelier Versace gown. She posed for photographers and signed autographs for her fans…
... and even greeted a young fan with a kiss, then she went to the audience hall.
Before screening, Jolie came on the stage and the audience gave her a standing ovation. Angelina delighted fans with “dobry vecher” which is Russian for “good evening”. She pronounced that almost without an accent, something which thrilled the crowd.
“I’m very excited! This is my first premiere in Moscow. It means a lot to me that you came here to see my movie,” said the star.
In Salt, Angelina is also trying to speak a little bit of Russian, as well as running, shooting, exposing the criminals and drinking vodka.
On the eve of the premiere, the star appeared at a photocall at the Moscow Ritz Carlton hotel, with the Red Square with the Kremlin and Saint Basil's Cathedral in the background, where she was posing for hundreds of photographers for three minutes.
For the Salt photocall Jolie chose the less bright but no less elegant costume – a black pencil skirt, white silk top and beige heels.
