Johnny Depp to play The Tourist to Angelina Jolie's Interpol agent

Johnny Depp is deep in talks to star opposite Angelina Jolie in the film The Tourist. In the film, Depp would play an American tourist drawn into a web of intrigue by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) who is attempting to locate a criminal who was once her lover.

No director is attached to the film as yet, but the word on the street is that Children of Men helmer Alfonso Cuaron is being lined up to step behind the camera.

Graham King will produce the film with Tim Headington, Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Jonathan Glickman. Julian Fellowes penned the original script; Christopher McQuarrie and Jeffrey Nachmanoff did rewrites, according to Variety.
