Wow! I had no idea that Salma has a role in the musical Across the Universe, hitting cinemas on September 28! She plays the role of a nurse in the movie, I found out by watching the trailer. The movie is directed by Julie Taymor (who also directed Frida) and stars Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson, Martin Luther, Bono, Eddie Izzard and our Salma, to name a few. Click on the preview below to see the (very) high quality captures I did of the trailer, Salma looks smoking as a nurse!

“A love story set against the backdrop of the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and rock ‘n roll, the film moves from the dockyards of Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam. The star-crossed lovers, Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements, with ‘Dr. Robert’ (Bono) and ‘Mr. Kite’ (Eddie Izzard) as their guides. Tumultuous forces outside their control ultimately tear the young lovers apart, forcing Jude and Lucy – against all odds – to find their own way back to each other.”
