Theron Joining Cruise in The Tourist

Charlize Theron is negotiating to star with Tom Cruise in The Tourist, the Bharat Nalluri-directed remake of the 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer.

In the Julian Fellowes-scripted drama, Theron will play a female Interpol agent who uses an American tourist in an attempt to flush out an elusive criminal with whom she once had an affair.

Production is expected to begin by March. The script is currently getting a polish by Christopher McQuarrie, who co-wrote the upcoming Cruise starrer Valkyrie for United Artists.

Spyglass principals Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Jonathan Glickman will produce with Canal Plus.
