A brand spanking new pair of clips from Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp’s upcoming action thriller The Tourist were released today for all the world to see. The film promises plenty of chase scenes, schemes, twists, turns, and deceptions to keep you entertained this holiday season.
Johnny Depp stars as an American tourist whose playful dalliance with a stranger leads to a web of intrigue, romance and danger in The Tourist. During an impromptu trip to Europe to mend a broken heart, Frank (Depp) unexpectedly finds himself in a flirtatious encounter with Elise (Jolie), an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Paris and Venice, their whirlwind romance quickly evolves as they find themselves unwittingly thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse.
In addition to Jolie and Depp, the cast of The Tourist includes Paul Bettany, Rufus Sewell, and everyone’s least favorite James Bond, Timothy Dalton.
She’s been working non-stop on her directorial debut, and on Sunday (October 17) Angelina Jolie got a supportive visit from partner Brad Pitt in Budapest, Hungary.
And while everything’s been running smoothly in Hungary, Ang was recently notified that her permit to film in Sarajevo has been revoked – though those involved in the movie’s production expect to receive a new permit very soon.
Edin Sarkic, who’s the director of the Bosnian company helping with the project, told ABC News, “We were promised by the Ministry of Culture that the permit will be issued on Monday. It was supposed to be done on Friday, but now it is sure to happen on Monday.”
The as yet untitled project is a love story set in the Bosnia’s 1992-95 war and Jolie has chosen to shoot some of it in Budapest following difficulties in getting permission to film in Sarajevo.
For the period of filming — which is scheduled to begin on November 10 and last two weeks — Jolie has rented a mansion in a fashionable district in Budapest where she is staying with her husband, Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt and four of their children.
Sony has released a new poster for director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s (The Lives of Others) The Tourist. As most of you know, the film stars Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie and it was filmed on location in Venice.
While some posters can be considered high art and are the type to hang on your wall,
the new poster for The Tourist is about one thing:
letting you know Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie are in this movie.
It’s not trying to tell you what it’s about.
It’s not trying to sell you on the action or drama.
Instead,
the poster just wants to let you know two of the biggest movie stars on the planet
are together and in one movie.
It’s smart marketing.
” Frank is an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart.
Elise is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path.
Against the breathtaking backdrop of Venice,
Frank pursues a potential romance but soon finds himself the pursued as he and Elise are
caught in a whirlwind of intrigue and danger.
The Tourist stars Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Paul Bettany, Rufus Sewell, and Timothy Dalton ”
Angelina Jolie was looking painfully thin as she met with the Prime Minister of Pakistan yesterday.
Jolie is in Pakistan in her role of United Nations goodwill ambassador to raise awareness of the plight of the victims of the recent floods that have devastated the country.
More than 1,500 Pakistanis have been killed and around 20million affected by flooding brought on by the annual monsoon rains last month.
Crops have been devastated and disease is spreading among survivors.
‘I am very moved by them and I hope that I am able to do something to help bring attention to the situation for all of the people in need in Pakistan,’ Jolie said.
‘This is not just a humanitarian crisis, it is an economic and social catastrophe.
Earlier in the day the actress covered her head up in a black scarf, and did her best to blend in with a group of women she was meeting who had lost their children in the disaster.
Jolie was visiting the Kandaro II Camp in Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
‘I was shocked especially by how high the flood waters went,’ Jolie told reporters. ‘In some of the people’s houses, it was nine feet high.’
The U.N. hopes Jolie’s visit will bring attention and subsequent funds to the country.
Only $294 million of the $460 million in emergency funds requested by the UN has been received so far, despite what Maurizio Giuliano, spokesman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, calls: ‘One of the worst humanitarian disasters in UN history, in terms of number of people that we have to assist and also the area covered.’
‘There’s lots of speculation about why this one has not gotten the attention it deserves,’ Jolie said. ‘Even all of the wonderful coverage … is not getting the response that usually it’s able to get.’
Angelina also had some sharp words for a Florida church planning to burn copies of the Quran to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City.
‘I have hardly the words that somebody would do that to somebody’s religious book,’ Jolie told reporters in Islamabad after her visit to the refugee camp, according to the Associated Press.

Angelina Jolie in Pakistan to highlight needs of flood victims
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, September 7 (UNHCR) – UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has been in Pakistan today, highlighting the suffering of millions of flood victims and the need for continuing aid for the displaced.
Jolie is travelling as the personal envoy of UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres. On Tuesday she visited Mohib Banda village in northwest Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region and areas near Peshawar, including the Azakhel Afghan refugee settlement and the Jalozai camp for internally displaced people (IDP).
“It’s clear this crisis is far from over,” she said. “People have lost everything: their homes, their belongings, their crops and cattle, and their livelihoods. Long after the cameras have gone, people will be struggling to rebuild their lives.”
Jolie’s visit is her fourth to Pakistan since becoming a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador in 2001. She last visited in November 2005 following the devastating earthquake in northern Pakistan.
On Tuesday, she met people who had been directly affected by the floods, including in Mohib Banda, where some 70 per cent of the homes were destroyed or badly damaged by the swirling waters.
“We will never be able to afford the things we once had, never again,” an elderly man, Rehman Gul, told Jolie, as he pointed towards an old plastic fan amid the ruins of his former home. “Since the flooding, flies and mosquitoes are everywhere… all over the children, all over us, everything.”
When asked by Jolie to speak of her situation, Gul’s wife Zainul said: “How can I burden you with all the things we need. I feel embarrassed.” Jolie walked through the village, meeting with families and witnessing at first hand the loss and bewilderment.
“There was a small stream outside the broken homes. It was full of a mix of faeces, flies, old shoes and old clothes that had been recently washed into the water,” Jolie said.
The floods that first hit Pakistan in July have affected millions. “We must not forget flooding is not the only trauma plaguing this country,” she said.
“They are still rebuilding infrastructure from the earthquake of 2005. They continue to have large numbers of IDPs as a result of the conflict in the north, and host 1.7 million Afghan refugees who still need care and refuge as conflict continues in their homeland. And now, of course, the recent flooding and its aftermath already affecting millions and the looming threat of disease,” Jolie continued.
“One problem does not negate the other, one headline should not pull focus from the many complexities of the situation in Pakistan,” said the Goodwill Ambassador, stressing the need for continuing efforts to support those in need.
“Over the last three decades, Pakistan has been very generous in hosting what continues to be the largest refugee population in the world. It is now the Pakistani people themselves who are in need of large-scale assistance,” Jolie concluded.
UNHCR has delivered help to almost 750,000 people, but continued flooding in many areas of southern Pakistan is creating new challenges for relief efforts in what has already become one of the most complex humanitarian crises of recent times.
