How do you sell a movie with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in it? You make a poster with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie on it. Columbia Pictures aren't trying to reinvent the wheel here, and this first poster for "The Tourist" puts its two biggest assets right there for the world to see. Though we have to say, the airbrushing of their features is beginning to freak us out.
Directed by Florian Henckel Von Donnersmarck (the German helmer behind "The Lives Of Others"), "The Tourist" is a romantic spy drama based on the 2005 French film "Anthony Zimmer," that follows a bumbling American tourist (Depp) as he finds himself romantically involved with an international spy (Jolie) in this quasi-Hitchcockian tale of a man in the wrong place at the wrong time.
While we had minor issues with the trailer, it looks like breezy enough fun and it will surely be a nice antidote to the steady stream of serious, awards season fare when it's released right in the thick of it on December 10, 2010.

Really looking forward to this. Who shot it...?
John Seale it seems...hmmm...interesting...
With just his 1st film after winning for The Lives of Others, I am really hopeful von Donnersmarck will deliver. I know this isn't his original work but he co-wrote the script so there won't be anywhere to hide. My only beef so far is: with two of the best looking actors around, couldn't they have made Johnny look a little less disheveled -- like maybe more like Cary Grant since they seem to be aiming for that era. And maybe placed a bit less makeup on Angelina? She looked much younger last week on CNN in a hot and dusty place somewhere in Pakistan.
