Johnny Depp in talks to replace Sam Worthington in ‘The Tourist’

The large round of musical chairs for the The Tourist continues.

Last month we reported that Angelina Jolie replaced Charlize Theron on the American remake of French film Anthony Zimmer and now it seems like Johnny Depp is in talks to replace Australian actor Sam Worthington. The role originally had Tom Cruise slated to star.

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.”

The 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer was directed by Jérôme Salle. It starred the lovely Sophie Marceau and Yvan Attal.

Jolie remains on the project, however, along with Worthington, original director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck has left the project.  Children of Men director Alfonso Cuaron still in talks to replace him.

The Tourist is still on schedule to begin production in February.
