Johnny Depp Is The Tourist
It seems The Tourist has made more changes to it’s cast and director in the last six months than I’ve changed my underwear. Variety.com is reporting that Johnny Depp is the man who will play an American tourist who is seduced by a Interpol agent who is trying to track down a criminal. Angelina Jolie will play the Interpol agent so the prospect of a Depp/Jolie combination is certainly intriguing, to say the least.
This change in casting comes on the heels of an announcement that Sam Worthington would be playing the lead role, replacing Tom Cruise. Jolie was also a replacement, as it was Charlize Theron who was the original female lead.
Apparently Worthington pulled out because of the reason we often hearfor these changes – “creative differences”.
That is also the reason that director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck has left the project. I’m just happy he left so I don’t have to type that name anymore. von Donnersmarck replaced the first director, Bharat Nalluri. Variety is also reporting that Alfonso Cuaron is considering taking over the project.
The Tourist is scheduled to go into production in February.
