The Tourist, which will tell the tale of an American tourist drawn into a plot of intrigue with a female Interpol agent, has had an increasingly hard time gearing up to launch into production this coming February. Avatar star Sam Worthington jumped ship a while back, along with director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, over “creative differences.”
Now, fan favorite Johnny Depp is in talks to be the titular tourist, and director Alfonso Cuaron (Children of Men) is considering taking the reins. If Depp is indeed attached to the project, he’ll be performing alongside Angelina Jolie, so we’re in for a vortex of sexiness the likes of which the world has never seen.
Julian Fellowes (Vanity Fair) wrote the original script for The Tourist, with rewrites by Christopher McQuarrie and Jeffrey Nachmanoff.
