Angelina Jolie to replace Charlize Theron on The Tourist?
October 13, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Filming is set to begin on the thriller “The Tourist” in early 2010, if you believe the IMDB page, that is. I can’t imagine how that’s going to happen, considering all the changes the film has endured.
First, we learned that Tom Cruise was out and Sam Worthington was in. Then director Bharat Nalluri was out, and is yet to be replaced. Now The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Charlize Theron is out, and Angelina Jolie in talks to replace her.
Let’s hope they can figure it all out by the time filming starts. The film is a remake of a 2005 French film, and follows a tourist persuaded by Interpol to go undercover and trap a former lover who’s now suspected of being an international criminal. Worthington is the traveler, while Jolie would be the femme fatale: "one part seductress, one part action heroine." Yeah, I can see that.
I would imagine that producers Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Jonathan Glickman must be getting a tad nervous at this point.
