Johnny Depp may join Angelina Jolie in The Tourist, a film that is experiencing many, many casting and directing changes – yet is set for production this February.
If Depp joined Jolie, he would play an American tourist drawn into a web of intrigue and danger by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) as she attempts to locate a criminal who was once her lover.
You may be asking yourself, wait…I thought Sam Worthington was playing this part or Tom Cruise. You’re thoughts are correct but changes happen in the film biz fast and furious. Even Charlize Theron was attached to play Jolie’s part.
I am not sure about all the directors, but Alfonso Curaron is at the head of the line to take on this juicy and plum gig.
I like the idea of Depp and Jolie working together on a spy thriller. Don’t you?
Angelina Jolie is the lead actress for the movie The Tourist, which is set to start production in February 2010. It looks like Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck will be the director for the Spyglass thriller.
The Tourist will be the first movie for von Donnersmarck since the German director’s 2006 breakout The Lives of Others, which won the Academy Award for foreign-language film.
Jolie just wrapped up Phillip Noyce’s Salt. So, shes ready to play a female Interpol agent who draws an unwitting American tourist into her attempt to locate a criminal who was once her lover. Worthington, the Australian actor who next appears as the star of the James Cameron-directed Avatar, is to play the American tourist.
The film is a remake of the 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer. Julian Fellowes penned the original script that was rewritten by Valkyrie scribe Christopher McQuarrie.

If all goes well filming starts in March. Christopher McQuarrie, who co-wrote the upcoming Cruise film Valkyrie, is polishing up the script.
