• Johnny Depp in Talks for The Tourist

  Can't get enough Johnny Depp? If yesterday's news that he is still attached to play Tonto in a live-action Lone Ranger movie wasn't enough for you, now Variety is reporting that Depp may be saddling up with Angelina Jolie in The Tourist.

  Graham King's GK Films is producing The Tourist, which has gone through a number of major changes since it was first announced. Originally, Spyglass planned on developing the movie with Bharat Nalluri directing Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise. Cruise bowed out, to be replaced by Sam Worthington, who subsequently left the movie, as well. When Nalluri also left the project, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck came aboard to direct, bringing Jolie in to replace Theron. Since then, von Donnersmarck has also departed. Will shooting still begin in February 2010, as planned? Your guess is as good as ours.

• Sam Worthington Replaces Tom Cruise in The Tourist

  

  Sam Worthington continues his meteoric rise to fame by replacing Tom Cruise in The Tourist, a remake of the French thriller Anthony Zimmer. Worthington can already be seen in the upcoming Avatar on December 18, Clash of the Titans on March 26, 2010, and recently signed on for the remake of The Candidate.

  The Tourist will co-star Charlize Theron and be directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day). Worthington will star as an American tourist in France used by an Interpol Agent (Theron) as bait to trap a criminal who is also her former lover.

  The Tourist starts shooting this January, making The Candidate the next next movie Worthington will make. Cruise is skipping out on The Tourist to shoot Wichita, a comedy from director James Mangold and co-starring Cameron Diaz.
