Sony Pictures confirmed today that The Tourist will be released in the US on December 10, 2010.
The upcoming drama-thriller, directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck – who was responsible for the Academy Award-winning The Lives of Others – stars Johnny Depp (Alice In Wonderland), Angelina Jolie (Salt), Paul Bettany (Legion), Timothy Dalton (Toy Story 3), Rufus Sewell (The Holiday), Steven Berkoff (44 Inch Chest) and Raoul Bova (Baaria).
Synopsis: The Tourist revolves around Frank (Depp), an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise (Jolie) is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path in order to mislead all those following her former lover. 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.
Hopefully, now that a release date has officially been confirmed, we should be treated to a poster and trailer within the next few weeks, giving us more of an insight into The Tourist.
The news comes on the same day as Sony Pictures moved Underworld 4 to January 20, 2012 and added Anonymous to their slate (due to be released on March 25, 2011).
