Fresh off a battering in the reviewing media, THE TOURIST has now suffered some more humiliation. Originally entered to the Golden Globes in the drama category, it was re-submitted to the Comedy category at the wishes of the director.
Even Angelina Jolie laughed.
Here’s what they had to say for themselves…
” THE TOURIST was submitted by the studio as a drama,” Berk says. “However, the filmmakers involved with the film expressed their opinion to us that the film should be categorized as a comedy. Given the differing opinions, we asked the studio to screen the film for us in advance, and collectively, we decided that the elements of preposterous fun lent the film more to a comedy than a straight drama category. The issue was raised not by the HFPA but by the director himself.”
