Johnny Depp may soon join Angelina Jolie to appear in The Tourist due to cast changes that are plaguing this remake… or maybe it is all for the better?
Two of the cast, Sam Worthington who starred in Avatar and director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, have just walked out on the project for the reason of creative differences. Negotiations are in progress to replace Worthington with Depp, in which case he will play alongside Angelina Jolie.
Jolie hadn’t featured in the original cast either, but was invited to replace Charlize Theron.
As Variety reminds, The Tourist is going to be a remake of Anthony Zimmer, a French spy thriller that was released in 2005 and won critical acclaim but fell short of attaining popularity, with the plot changed round to involve a female Interpol agent who once was in love with the villain of the piece.
Let’s hope that Depp will sign on to complete a great team!
