Dangling from a rope, fake blood splashed around her neck, Angelina Jolie's pose proves there's more to being a movie star than looking good on the red carpet.

The actress was reshooting scenes for her new movie Salt in New York.

Dangling from a helicopter, high above the streets, she showed she has no fear of heights.

And despite the sub-zero temperatures, she wore just a white cotton shirt and black trousers.

Angelina was called in after her Christmas break to re-shoot scenes for the forthcoming spy thriller after the script underwent a re-write.

The changes came after her on-screen husband was written out of the film.

Angelina has received visits on set from her family, while partner Brad Pitt has been looking after their six children.

The couple have been spotted on a rare outing together, taking their brood to Broadway to watch Mary Poppins.

Brad has also been out and about while Angelina has been working, taking their children to dinner and a video arcade.

A source told OK magazine: 'They're basically writing him out of the movie.

'In the original script Angelina watches her husband die in a scene. After they shot it they didn't like it for some reason and decided to change the script so they have to re-shoot some scenes.'

In the new movie Angelina Jolie takes on the role of Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer who tries to clear her name after being accused of becoming a Russian spy in an attempt to kill the U.S. president.

Angelina replaced Tom Cruise for the part, which was originally written with a male lead, and the film is due for release in July 2010.

Team JOLIE!

People should focus less on her personal life and open up their minds to what a phenomenal actress she is. The sheer versatility of her acting ability far outshines most if not all of today's female actresses including mAniston!

Bring on the red arrows, red is my favorite color...lol

Naomi, why is Angelina scheming?

People fall in and out of love all the time - clearly Brad fell out of love with Aniston otherwise he would have stayed with her... and let's be clear here, it was not Angelina that was unfaithful to Aniston; it was Brad.

Fine, it's a bit of banter sitting here reading the DM gossip (I do it far too frequently), but what is really sad (almost laughable) when people on here have so much hatred for a celeb on the premise of what they read in the tabloids: with all due respect ,when one gets to that stage they need to get out more and grab a life in the process!
