Angelina Jolie in talks for The Tourist
Story by Jack Foley
ANGELINA Jolie is in talks to replace Charlize Theron on new movie, The Tourist.
A remake of 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer, the film focuses on an American tourist (played by Jolie) who goes undercover on behalf of Interpol to trap a former lover who’s suspected of being a global criminal.
Theron had long been associated with the female lead in the film but has dropped out along with original director Bharat Nalluri, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Sam Worthington is still due to play the male lead, after having landed a role that was originally being considered by Tom Cruise.
The search is on for a new director while Jolie completes negotiations. She has recently wrapped the action-thriller Salt.
