Movie Trailer: ‘The Tourist,’ With Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie
Posted on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 by Russ Fischer
I’m half amazed that cameras even managed to roll on The Tourist, much less that there is now a trailer. The film, which was finally directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp plus co-stars Paul Bettany, Rufus Sewell and Timothy Dalton, took so long to come together, with so many cast and director changes, that this trailer is proof of just how single-minded the Hollywood machine can be, when it wants to. Plus, it’s entertaining in a fluff sort of way.
Is it just me, or does Depp have a little bit of a ‘Jimmy Stewart in a Hitchcock film’ thing going on? Maybe it’s just me. Regardless, he’s funny here, and the trailer is pretty brisk. The couple meets, there’s (maybe) some romance, some espionage, some danger, a few charges filed by the police. Just your standard vacation in Italy with Angelina Jolie.
The synopsis:
Frank is an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Venice, Frank pursues a potential romance but soon finds himself the pursued as he and Elise are caught in a whirlwind of intrigue and danger.
The Tourist opens on December 10.
