Can Zoe Saldana follow Angelina Jolie?

By Henry Funk

It is "AVATAR" that has made Zoe Saldana a worldwide famous name. Can this beautiful actress become the queen of action? To be honest, Zoe Saldana is a rather special case in Hollywood. Many people claim that she was born to incarnate into the action roles. In "Star Trek", Zoe appears fade and less known to the audience. However, after "AVATAR", she was called "action belle". It is said that Zoe is an exception who became a star after a night. Thanks to tireless roles in the past, Zoe can now be a celebrity.

Zoe Saldana

Although "Death at a Funeral" and "The Losers" don't make her more well-known, it seems to add "fuel" to her name as well as an alcohol after AVATAR. Viewers are paying more attention to Zoe as an action film star in Hollywood while Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner are busy with her children. To some extend, Zoe is a real representative for the next cast generation.

So can Zoe be really qualified to follow Angelina Jolie?

The early days on stage

That Jolie comes to the limelight and stands in front of the camera is evitable because she was born in a showbiz family, Jon Voight's daughter. When she was a little girl, she was trained in acting in Los Angeles. Then she used to be a model and study motion picture at New York University.

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" made Jolie really outstanding

Key roles

She made a great impression in "Star Trek"

"Avatar" opened a new world to Zoe

Latest images in "The Losers"

Meanwhile, Saldana started her career when starring a ballet dancer in "Center Stage" (2000). From then on, Saldana steadily continued her work. She first appeared as the main character in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl' (2003). Six years later, she made her role as Uhura, a sexy and smart girl in "Star Trek" (2009). But it was not until her role as Princess Neytiri in "Avatar" that the Hollywood door was really open and took her to a new page in motion picture industry. Therefore, Zoe absolutely has right to be considered as A-level star in Hollywood.

'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider'

As can be seen, Jolie and Saldana are similar to each other. Jolie received Oscar nominations and the Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in "Girl, Interrupted" (1999). However, her name was mention more in the role of Archaeologist Lar Croft in "'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' (2001)

Brave belles

Jolie continued to prove that she is a bright action star in 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' (2005). Her fame seems to be nonstop and Jolie knows how to show her true talent. In ‘Wanted' (2008) with James McAvoy, she really confirmed her throne as the queen of action films.

'Wanted' made Jolie become the queen of action films

In fact, Angelina is not an overnight star model. After "Tomb Raider", she said that she had to practise for 2 months with a range of subjects from bungee jumping, shooting, rowing to yoga.

Zoe in 'Death at a Funeral'

About Saldana, she also showed her great effort in each role, especially in the recent film 'The Losers'. Like Jolie, Zoe always stands out from the main male character. And with attractive appearance, she once claimed she silently thanked for ballet which makes her flexible and soft in acting.

Jolie received Oscar nominations thanks to "'Changeling"

Of course, to compare two actresses' fortune is relatively lame. While Jolie marked by a series of various roles in 'The Good Shepherd' (2006), 'A Mighty Heart' (2007), 'Changeling'..., Zoe's recent fortune only includes 'Avatar', 'Death at a Funeral', ‘The Loser'.

Behind the scenes

Jolie's fame seems to be more enriched when she became the lover of Brad Pitt. This pair of power in the world is known as "Brangelina" Rumors about their children adoption, Jolie's first child and especially the birth of twins in 2008 all appeared to make this family become the most or second powerful one in Hollywood.

The Brangelina family

In contrast, when dating with her boyfriend, the name Keith Britoon is rarely mentioned during ten years. Their love story does not become a hot topic in newspapers in the world. And during that time they did not have a significant scandal and they hardly ever appeared in the newspaper.

Next is ...

This summer Jolie will return in an action film as a CIA spy in 'Salt'. Currently she is making a romantic movie called The Tourist, along with Johnny Depp.

Can Zoe Saldana succeed brilliantly in the near future?

Meanwhile, Zoe is also occupied with new projects: "Burning Palms" with Shannen Doherty and 'Takers'.

It's hard to make a decision in Hollywood, but everything can happen. Zoe can not be compared to Jolie in many ways. Nevertheless, with her excellent achievements, viewers can absolutely believe in the image of a new action movie star in the future.
