Sewell and Bettany join Tourist

Rufus Sewell and Paul Bettany are the latest additions to the Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck directed film The Tourist, currently in the middle of filming says Variety. They cling onto the production as the last casting puzzle pieces of the feature that stars Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp.

The story revolves around Frank (Depp), an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise (Jolie) is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. The script is written by Julian Fellowes along with Christopher McQuarrie and Jeffrey Nachmanoff. Graham King is producing under his GK Films label with Roger Birnbaum, Gary Barber, Jonathan Glickman and Tim Headington.

The Tourist is poised for a 2011 release date under Columbia Pictures with Spyglass Entertainment and Studio Canal. Bettany recently has been lurking around the big screen for the past couple of months, first in the period piece The Young Victoria and then in the supernatural thriller feature Legion.
