Von Donnersmarck being a Tourist again

Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck is landing back into the lap of production for The Tourist as he takes on the directing reigns once more. The Lives of Others director fell out of the project in the fall of 2009 due to creative differences, but apparently something behind the scenes must have convinced him to latch himself back onto this particular project. The picture stars Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie and is written by Julian Fellowes who’s recent work includes The Young Victoria.

Jolie will play an Interpol agent who draws an unwitting tourist (Depp) into her attempt to locate a criminal who was once her lover, Variety reports. Producing the feature is Graham King and Tim Headington and is eyeing a spring start date for initial filming. The GK Films and Columbia Pictures film is setting themselves up for a to be announced 2011 release date.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
