The Risky Biz Blog is reporting that Charlize Theron has opted out of the Spyglass-produced thriller The Tourist and in talks to replace her is Angelina Jolie.
The project is now also seeking a director, as Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day) is as of last week off the project.
A remake of the 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer, The Tourist centers on an American tourist who, on behalf of Interpol, goes undercover to entrap a former lover who’s a suspected global criminal.
Sam Worthington is still attached to play the lead male role.
