What About Sam?

Frakkin’ Johnny Depp.

OK, not really, but I gotta blame someone.

The actor is in talks to join Angelina Jolie in the thriller The Tourist (Jolie herself replaced Charlize Theron).

Depp would play an American tourist, while Jolie will take on the role of an Interpol agent who involves him in her quest to find a criminal who was once her lover.

The upsetting part? Depp would be replacing Sam Worthington, who left the projects, along with director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others), reportedly over creative differences (Alfonso Cuarón is rumored to be in the running to take the helm).

Production is set to begin in February.
