Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp - The Tourist Updates

The debut poster for Columbia Pictures comedy-drama -thriller "The Tourist" was released this week.
The poster has a close up of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, and carries the tag line, "It all started when he met a woman,".
The film is was directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and is a remake of the French film by Anthony Zimmer.



Interestingly, Tom Cruise was once set to play Frank (Johnny Depp's character), but he pulled out, was replaced by Sam Worthington, and then Johnny Depp
You may recall that Cruise was originally supposed to be the lead character in "Salt" and when he pulled out, Angelina took over the role.

If you havent seen the trailer yet, here it is...

Angelina Jolie Not In Gravity

I mentioned back in March that Angelina Jolie would probably not be going ahead with her role in Gravity.

Well it looks like I was right, because the role is now rumored to be going to Natalie Portman.
Gravity is Alfonso Cuaron's $80 million dollar "3D survival story" about two astronauts (a male and female) who are stranded after a disaster leaves their space station inoperable.
The male lead is reported to be Robert Downey Jr.

Oddly enough, Robert Downey Jr. plays Iron Man in the very successful films, and Natalie Portman will be playing Jane Foster in the upcoming Marvel movie, Thor.

According to reports, even after Angelina originally turned down the role, Warner Bros. still tried to get her, making a second offer.
But she still said no.

Gravity is supposed to start production at the end of January 2011, but with Angelina definitely saying no, the project might be in jeopardy, even with Robert Downey and Natalie Portman.

Now It's Angelina Vs Megan Vs Zoe?

Well it looks like the Angelina Jolie / Megan Fox thing wasn't going anywhere, so now Hollywood has added another name to the mix.
Zoe Saldana.


In case you don't know who Zoe is, she first caught everyone's attention as Lieutenant Uhura in the re-booted Star Trek.
Then she played Neytiri in the blockbuster (which kinda seems like an understatement) Avatar.
Recently she starred as Aisha in The Losers.
But it seems her being considered for a role as an assassin in the upcoming film Colombiana is what sparked all this.

Okay, really...I don't see it.
I mean yes she is (maybe) playing an assassin in a film and they are comparing that to Angelina in Mr and Mrs Smith.
But really Angelina was an assassin in Wanted.
Now if Zoe were taking over her role in Wanted 2 or play Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider reboot (which would have a really cool Julie Newmar/Eartha Kitt feel to it), I could maybe understand it.
But how many women in Hollywood have played assassins and not been compared to Angelina?

I guess the Megan Fox thing wasn't going anywhere (like her career) and Hollywood needed something new for the gossip mills.

But until Zoe starts getting a lot of tattoos and adopting kids, (or stars in Wanted 2 or Tomb Raider), or wins an Oscar or two, just let it go.

Now on a more Angelina related note, you can go to http://dayxexists.com/ and take a look at the preview of the immersive online game based on Angie's upcoming movie Salt.
