Lesbian fave Angelina Jolie is in talks to step into another darling of the gay girl set Charlize Theron's shoes in the thriller The Tourist. If you could have it your way who would you pick to star in the film? Or would just say screw it and cast them as lovers on the job together?
Story: Action-thriller about an American tourist who at Interpol's request, goes undercover to entrap an ex-lover who is suspected of being a global criminal.
Actress: Charlize Theron or Angelina Jolie?
What's a big movie studio to do?
The film is The Tourist, and the real story, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is that Theron - an Oscar winner for her butch turn in 2003's Monster opposite Christina Ricci - has withdrawn from the long-troubled project for producer Spyglass Entertainment.
Jolie, who instantly became a lesbian icon via her turns in Gia and Girl, Interrupted (for which she won a best supporting actress Oscar), is in talks to step into the role.
With a screenplay by another Oscar winner Julian Fellowes (2001's Gosford Park), the director's chair is also up for grabs as Bharat Malluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day) also has removed himself from the project, which also previously had Tom Cruise attached for the male lead. Cruise, however, was loosely attached and Sam Worthington will now play opposite a leading lady to be determined.
Jolie, meanwhile, is fresh off production on Salt, the story of CIA officer Evelyn Salt (Jolie) who is accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy and goes on the run to clear her name and prove that she is a patriot. The action-thriller is in the same vein of Tourist.
You be the casting director: Who would you rather see star opposite Worthington in The Tourist?
