The Tourist Poster


People are surely going to watch The Tourist online, an upcoming thriller directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Florian Henckel von Donnersmmarck (The Lives of Others.) This is a remake of the French film Anthony Zimmer, which was written and directed by Jerome Salle.

Columbia Pictures has unveiled the latest poster for the upcoming thriller. It features the two lead stars Anegelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, which would likely make people want to watch The Tourist online. The studio is banking on arguably two of the biggest names in Hollywood today to promote the film with their smart marketing campaign by having a big close up of them. It then showed the pair riding a speedboat in the waters of the romantic city of Venice. The poster is ominously tag lined, “The Perfect Trip, The Perfect Trip.”

When you watch The Tourist online, Depp will play Frank, a tourist who went to Italy to nurse his hurting heart, or is he really? He then bumps into, quite deliberately it should be noted, by a mysterious, sexy femme fatale Elise Ward, played by Jolie. Following a fling of seductions, the pair then gets entangled strings of deceit with both the Scotland Yard and a group of mobster right after their trail. But they may no seem who they said to be as they are now on a deadly cat and mouse game.

Johnny Depp was not supposed to appear when you watch The Tourist online. The movie was thought to be starred by Tom Cruise. After Cruise backed out, Avatar star Sam Worthington was then called in. But Worthington was soon replaced by Depp. Theron was also in talks to star in the film at one point before Jolie signed on to do the project. This is the second film that was supposed to have Cruise as the star which eventually fell into the laps of Jolie. This year’s hit Salt was supposedly made for Cruise until he passed on it.

The film is set to hit theaters on December 10, 2010. But you can also watch The Tourist online.
