The Tourist Trailer

I can not wait to watch The Tourist online this holiday season. The thriller is a remake of a 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer, which was written and directed by Jerome Salle. The latest incarnation will be directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2007 for the movie The Lives of Others.

Now, Columbia Pictures has released a brand new trailer to promote the upcoming movie. And it certainly makes me want to watch The Tourist online. The trailer looks spectacular with its enticing sceneries. Oscar winner John Seale (The English Patient) has been signed on to do the cinematography and he seems to do an impressive job. The film is set in the lovely city of Venice, Italy and Paris.

The film follows Frank, an American tourist who went to the romantic City of Water trying to mend his broken heart. He then gets to meet a mysterious woman named Elise Ward. But Frank does not know that Elise deliberately bumped into him and was then involved in a flirtatious entanglement. But things get began a different turn when they were caught in a cat and mouse game filled with deceit and dark secrets.

But arguably, people would go and watch The Tourist online because of its two lead stars: Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. She will play the enigmatic Elise, who will do anything just for love, including putting a stranger’s life in danger. Jolie won an Acedemy award for Best Supporting Actress in the film Girl, Interrupted. Her other film credits include the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider series, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Kung Fu Panda, and recently, the hit action flick Salt. Depp will play Frank, the tourist who may not be what he seems to be. The three-time oscar nominated actor has starred in box-office hits like the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Sweeney Todd, and Alice in Wonderland.

The film is set hit theaters this December 10. But you might also want to watch The Tourist online.
