X17 XCLUSIVE - Angelina Jolie Signs On To Replace Charlize Theron In The Tourist
(10/16/09 10:27 AM)
LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Angelina Jolie jetted into Los Angeles on Wednesday for a quick meeting with Sony Pictures executives to sign the deal that will have Jolie replace Charlize Theron in the upcoming film The Tourist.
The film is a remake of the 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer and Jolie is to play a seductress/action role. The Tourist focuses on an American tourist who goes undercover for Interpol to trap a former lover who happens to be a suspected international criminal. Production is set for early next year.
X17online's exclusive photos also reveal another scoop in this story -- Sony had been looking for a director for the film after previously-attached Bharat Nalluri dropped out and X17's images show Cider House Rules director Lasse Hallstrom walking alongside Jolie after their meeting. The assumption now is the Hallstrom will direct.

In response to the article above posted on x17online.com, Ms. Angelina Jolie-Pitt appears to be a slime-sucker of a woman. Is she so insecure about herself that she has to constantly be taking parts from other reputable actors? Especially like Tom Cruise whose grace, sincerity and, not to mention his overwhelming talent compared to hers, makes her appear to look like a gutter-living slug. After she keeps repeating herself in interviews about how she is going to "take time off" and spend time with her seven children, she keeps working! Thank God those kids have Brad and his parents to at least try to keep those kids grounded! No amount of money in the world takes the place of a mother's presence. Sure, it helps to have nice things and makes life easier, but if a person seems to come off as she does - a scheming, manipulative, AND a man-stealing devil either in skin-tight black leather or nothing at all, all that money is going to do to help those kids is to get away from that seemingly horrible person as soon as humanely possible. Karma, Ms. Jolie, Karma. You can save as many third world countries as you want and pull the wool over anyone with a half of a brain, however anyone with any intelligence or morals can see through your self-seeking narcissistic ways. What comes around, goes around!
PS - I do not know Ms. Joie-Pitt and only go by what is said in news and her own interviews. This is only my opinion and is not meant to infer any to facts that she has not given herself. As to my opinion of her persona, I only go by, again, the news and my own life experiences. Really, it is not personal. It is only my perception; however, everyone's perception is their own reality.
After reading other articles, I realize that the two actors that I mentioned above dropped out of these movies and that she was picked in place of them. However, that does not change my opinion of her.
I do not understand why some celebrities like Angelina Julie use their popularity to take advantage of the tabloids and the film industry all the time.
Charlize Thron is a great actress. She is very talented and very beautiful.I would hate to see Angelina Julie take a role from her not because I do not like Angelina julie, but because I think other talented people should take the roles they really deserve.
Charlize Thron may not be on the magazines' covers all the time but that doesn't make her a less talented actress than Angelina Julie!!! Angelina Julie has never won an Oscar for the main character, but Charlize did.
Isn't Angelina julie supposed to be a very giving and caring person?
Why does she need to take roles from people? Oh I know why, she helps 3rd world countries, that gives her right to take anything she wants; man, roles, magazine articles,internet reader comments sections...etc As long as she has a great image and everybody buys it, she can do whatever she wants and we will applause her for that. Why? Because we are such good Americans:)
Angelina Julie will be a perfect fit for seductress/action roles. As she has seduced men a lot in her real life, she won't have any problems!!!
But for acting, Charlize can do any role she wants. I love her acting.
this is the funniest stuff I've read in a while. Getta lfe people!That first comment was fantasticly manic! loved it!
a dink donk blleee blah i have three noses i love men
Hey, Ithinkurstupid - UMMMM, I am NOT a retard; however, she has so many kids and I have enough to do with my own family than keep tract of hers. I really could care less. This was a freak thing that I happened upon referred by a friend. Take the advice from cheri and get a life! This is the last time I waste anytime on anything like this....
Take it in the spirit that it was written....DUHHHHH
What the hell are you people missing here??????!!!!! Charlize opted OUT of this movie herself. Angelina is just REPLACING her not stealing the movie from her. Perhaps some of you should do some more reading before placing such stupid and false lies!! I love Charlize's acting and will really miss her in this movie, but, I'm sure Angelina will do great job.
At least learn to spell the names of those you are trashng or supporting. Yeeeeeeesh!
I think Angelina should go back to pretending to help kids in Africa - but that too is just another marketing stunt !!!!!
What happened to Charlize? Is Jolie there 2nd choice? Jolie and Pitt in my opinion are not suitable parents. They have these children and adopt these children like a person would buy a new toy!!They then jet off to all kind's of places and leave their brood with nannies!They aren't parents they are collector's!
I am not a fan of Angelina either but as someone who knows how the movie industry works the ignorant critics leaving comments are clueless. An actress can do 3 movies a year and spend more time with their kids than the average working mother. They are on set about 3 months and then they are off until their next film. The average working parent gets home around 6:30 PM and bedtime is 9PM. There isnt alot of one on one time trying to juggle food, homework and baths in a short time. Movie stars have more time with their kids than the rest of us so dont judge Angelina as an abandoning their kids crap. Your clueless how the industry works.
