von Donnersmarck - top choice to helm "The Tourist"

After a couple of changes in the lead cast, Spyglass is now eying Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck to helm the espionage-thriller flick "The Tourist".
According to Variety, "is poised to make "Tourist" her next project over several other offers, including Universal's sequel to "Wanted." Spyglass came to her weeks ago, but her participation was contingent on finding the right director. After meetings with several helmers, von Donnersmarck was deemed that guy on Friday night, insiders said."
The production will start in February for the 2011 release.

This remake movie was set for Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron but later on it was shifted to Angelina Jolie and Terminator Salvation star Sam Worthington.

The Tourist is about an Interpol agent (Theron Jolie) in Europe who manipulates an American tourist (Cruise Worthington) in an attempt to flush out an elusive criminal who was her former lover.
