Posted on January 26, 2010 Permalink | Subscribe | | | Comments (View) | There have been so many cast and director changes to the upcoming thriller The Tourist that it's been hard to keep track. But according to Variety, things are finally shaping up nicely with Angelina Jolie starring as the Interpol agent who must track down a former lover and Johnny Depp starring as an American who gets caught up in the intrigue. Johnny is still in talks, but his surprise involvement has thrown some real buzz behind the project. The move comes after Avatar star Sam Worthington exited along with director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, both over creative differences. Already, directors are circling the plum gig, including Alfonso Cuaron.Johnny was supposed to make Pirates of the Caribbean 4 for Disney, but it looks like that may not be happening after all. Johnny was very unhappy when studio chief Dick Cook was forced out and since then his enthusiasm for another pirate move has waned, according to The L.A. Times.

Angie would play Patrizia Gucci, who was sentenced to 29 years in jail for plotting the murder of her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci. The studio is about to hire a scribe to rewrite the drama that recaptures the glamorous days of the Gucci family dynasty in the 1970s and 80s, when the family was selling $500 million in product annually. Squabbles hobbled the clan until Maurizio, the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci, came out on top of a power struggle to run the family business. Just when he was about to reestablish the brand name by debuting a line designed by newcomer--and now film director--Tom Ford, Maurizio was gunned down in front of his Milan apartment in 1995.Angelina Jolie and Leonardo DiCaprio: that's an interesting pairing. But it sounds like Leo hasn't signed on the dotted line. It's a juicy role, no question.

Philip Noyce remains attached as director and Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Sunil Perkash are producing.The deal hasn't closed yet, but it looks like it will.

that Angelina Jolie wants to play Catwoman and is in talks to do so.
The 33-year-old actress - who gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne earlier this month - is said to be in final negotiations with studio bosses to play the feline villain who first appeared in the Batman comics.We think Angelina Jolie would be a perfect Catwoman, especially if she gets to play against Christian Bale's Batman. Now that's what we call intense casting! Update 7-31-08 By the way you can find Julie Newmar's website here. On her website she wrote a review of The Dark Knight. It seems she was a little bored at times by the film. Newmar writes, "Frankly, I yawned loudly and yearned for some deep comfort, which the seats at the Mann Theatre in Santa Monica were not."

topped
the box office this past weekend, in what was a lackluster performance for movies overall. The remaking of the epic poem took in $27,515,871, which will surely build based on the excellent reviews and breathtaking imagery. In second place was Bee Movie, which took in another $14,008,444, bringing its cumulative to date to $93,570,695. In third place was American Gangster which made $12,875,250. That brings its box office total to date to $100,650,615.
In fourth place was Fred Claus which made $11,914,323. In a dismal fifth place was Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium which elicited $9,630,085 in its opening weekend. Another dud that opened this past weekend was Love in the Time of Cholera, which made only $1,924,860. Even an Oprah assist couldn't save that one.

She just adopted a Vietnamese orphan and is heading back to the States with him tomorrow. She also just signed on to play the lead in a new film, Wanted, which is an action film based on a graphic novel. Timur Bekmambetov is directing. Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy will also star in the film, which begins shooting in Eastern Europe in May. McAvoy will play a young man who discovers his father is an assassin, only to learn shortly thereafter that his dad has been murdered. The youth is drafted to follow in his father's footsteps. Jolie will play an assassin who teaches the ropes to the wannabe killer.Angelina recently told a Vietnamese newspaper that she was going to be a stay at home mom for now, to help new son Pax Thien Jolie adjust to his new life. So, we guess the kid has about six weeks to get adjusted before he, mommy, and four nannies move to Eastern Europe for awhile. Sounds about right.

And we're -- I'm just-- it's gonna be the balance of what would be the best for Mad and for Z right now. It's, you know, another boy, another girl, which country, which race would fit best with the kids," she said, referring to her adopted children.Wow. She's already thinking about adoping another baby, just three weeks after having Shiloh Nouvel? We're definitely seeing some Mare Winningham tendencies going on here.
